How can I simulate a rotameter float to change height using Comsol?

    Calibration
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a calibration curve for a rotameter in COMSOL, specifically relating the height of a float to flow rate. The user is struggling to simulate the movement of a solid float within a pipe under flow conditions and seeks guidance on defining the float's position in the software. They mention having the necessary equations but are unsure how to implement the float's height change in response to flow. Additionally, there is a note about issues with image uploads, suggesting that images need to be hosted online or attached properly. The urgency of the request indicates a pressing need for assistance in resolving these simulation challenges.

i am working with making a rotameter in comsol.i want to make a calibration curve (height of float vs. flow rate).

i failed to move the solid float through the pipe with velocity.how i can define the solid float in comsol? when i will give flow at bottom then how i can simulate the float to change the height. i have the necessary equation but i failed how i can change the position of the float??

its urgent please help...

Your image uploads did not appear to work. I think for images, they need to be hosted on a website and linked to with the image tags. Maybe try uploading them as attachments instead...
 
I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
