Opto-Acoustophoretic Effect in an Acoustofluidic Trap
Application ID: 111841
Opto-acoustophoresis is a term used to describe the interplay between acoustics and optical fields. In most cases (including this) the optical field is heating up the material and therefore affecting the acoustic field. In this example of an acoustic trap a set of particle are trapped before a light source is turned on. The light is being absorbed by the particles which therefore heat up the surrounding fluid. This creates strong thermoacoustic streaming which drags the particles out of the acoustic trap.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® and
- 音響モジュール and
- 粒子追跡モジュール and
- either the バッテリデザインモジュール, CFDモジュール, 化学反応工学モジュール, 腐食解析モジュール, 電気化学モジュール, 電気めっきモジュール, 燃料電池&電解槽モジュール, マイクロフルイディクスモジュール, ポリマー流れモジュール, 多孔質媒体流れモジュール, or 地下水流モジュール
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the 製品仕様一覧 and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
