Viscous Fluid damping

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I am trying to calculate the Q-factor for micro-mechanical resonators in fluids. To do this, I have to use FSI interface (navier stokes equation), doing a transient simulation and then calculate Q-factor.

However, The problem is that time domain simulations take a lot of time. So, could I use thermo-acoustic model in COMSOL which is based on linearized NS for viscous damping calculation ?

Also, what is the difference between using FSI (NS) and thermoacoustic solid interaction model (linearized NS)?
Is it all about the amplitude of solid displacement ?

Waiting for your reply

Regards,
Mohamed
