Modeling the Acoustics of the Liberty Bell in COMSOL Multiphysics®
In this blog post we use COMSOL Multiphysics® to analyze the acoustics of the famous Liberty Bell and use uncertainty quantification to gain new insights into the material properties and optimal shape.
The Sound of the Giant: Modeling the Acoustics of Estadio Azteca
The legendary Estadio Azteca is one of only two stadiums to have hosted the Fifa World Cup® finals. For fun, we simulate the acoustics of this one-of-a-kind stadium.
Tracking Performance in the Beautiful Game
The official match ball for the 2026 FIFA World Cup® has sensors embedded in it that allow for real-time tracking and analysis. For fun, we take a look at how to model such sensors with COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Modeling Lined Rock Caverns for Underground Hydrogen Storage
Lined rock caverns can store hydrogen, but their safety depends on interactions between hydrogen gas, rock masses, and structural linings…
Modeling the Beautiful Game: From Ball Design to Power Trivelas
Let’s explore the aerodynamics of the 2026 FIFA World Cup® ball, the Adidas Trionda®, and the trivela technique.
Reduced-Order Modeling of Ultrasonic Pipe Measurements
A guest blogger from SINTEF demonstrates how they use 2D axisymmetric simplification to reduce computation time for their pulse-echo simulations.
Modeling Surface Acoustic Wave-Induced Streaming in a Droplet
Surface acoustic waves are capable of generating a streaming flow inside a droplet, enabling contactless mixing. Learn how this process can be simulated here.
Simulating Tissue Biomechanics During Suction Therapies
To gain a better understanding of the tissue biomechanics involved in cupping therapy, a research team from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell turned to simulation.
