Hi,

I need to apply the time derivative of a displacement created in a piezomaterial as the velocity for a fluid boundary.....

Could someone please let me know as to how this can be handled in COMSOL....Eagerly waiting for your reply.....

Thanks in advance!!

Hi

check the internal variables of COMSOL, you have the ut and utt, implicit derivatives of the dependent variables.
But you can also couple via u (displacements) on the boundaries, no ?

Good luck

Hi Ivar,

Could you please let me know as to what "coupling via u displacement" means...Is it similar to what I have done- ie
v= dU/dt , where v is the fluid velocity and U is the displacement of the piezomaterial......


When I set the above condition and compute.It throws the error-"Pointwise constraints for time derivatives are not supported."


Thanks,

Hi

but on which "entity" are you applying your velocity ? It looks like you do it on a "point", COMSOL has only derivatives on boundaries, as most edges and points/vertex are singularities the the FEM math sens

Hello Ivar,

I have applied it along the boundary wall (interface between the fluid and the piezoelectric domain)......ie I have set in the "wall" - a moving velocity with the x component as ut and the y component as vt (where u and v are the dependent variables or the displacements in the pzd domain)......

Is there some workaround for it?

Hi Rahul,

Did you get to solve this issue?

Thanks!
