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 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
