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®.
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 the Acoustics of an Open-Plan Office Space
Open-plan offices offer a collaborative workspace, however, they also allow for noise distractions. To improve the acoustical conditions of these spaces, engineers can turn to simulation.
Sonos Optimizes MEMS Microphone Design to Reduce Distortion from Wind Noise
Let’s examine how Sonos has used simulation software to reduce the distortion caused by wind noise on their MEMS microphone.
Faster Simulation with NVIDIA GPU Support for COMSOL Multiphysics®
With GPU-accelerated NVIDIA cuDSS, COMSOL Multiphysics can solve large, sparse systems much faster, turning what were once overnight computations into simulations that finish within hours.
