How can I enter a parabolic inlet profile in Comsol for 3D tube modeling?

AI Thread Summary
To model a parabolic inlet profile for a 3D tube in COMSOL Multiphysics, the user initially struggled with defining the velocity profile, as the process was straightforward in 2D axisymmetric models. They defined a variable "r" for the radial coordinate but faced convergence issues with their solution. The user ultimately resolved the problem by extruding the inlet plane, ensuring the inlet velocity profile was parabolic. However, they still sought a more effective method to input the parabolic profile directly into the software. The discussion highlights the challenges of transitioning from 2D to 3D modeling in fluid dynamics simulations.

hello everyone
is anybody here using comsol multiphysics?
i'm trying to model a tube which the inlet is a fully developed fluid
but the problem is how to enter a parabolic inlet profile for velocity
in 2d axisymmetric it is very simple. but my model is 3d
i've entered "r" as a variable in definitions{r=sqrt((x^2)+(y^2))} and another variable for velocity, using "r". but the solution is not converged
how can i give the correct parabolic inlet?

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
not yet
i fixed it by extrude the inlet plane to make sure that the inlet velocity profile is parabolic.
but no progress in giving parabolic profile to the software.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
