The WENO Limiter present in the interface for capturing shocks and the Adaptive Mesh Refinement technique will help to solve highly nonlinear problems. The former is based on dG-FEM and designed for modeling progressive propagation of finite-amplitude nonlinear acoustic waves in fluids. Included in the Acoustics Module of COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.6, are new Nonlinear Pressure Acoustics, a new Time Explicit physics interface and Nonlinear Thermoviscous Acoustics Contributions. With the latest release of COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.6, the company significantly expands the number of functionalities, tools and features, including its Acoustics Module, which currently is powering development efforts across all segments of the audio industry, from speaker and transducer design to cutting-edge acoustic metamaterials. A leading 3D modeling and simulation environment for product design and research, COMSOL Multiphysics is currently the global standard in many market specific applications, including acoustics, fluids, heat transfer, and chemical applications, which can be interfaced also with all major technical computing and CAD tools on the CAE market.
As it happens every year, immediately after or during its annual conference, COMSOL announces the latest update to its integrated software suite.
