https://www.acs.psu.edu/drussell/Publications/Basketball.pdf I'm trying to recreate the results of this paper in COMSOL and I'm wondering what general model setup I should use. Essentially I'm trying to simulate smacking a basketball and finding the spherical acoustic frequencies. My current isetup is I have a thin sphere made of a solid material filled with air and surrounded by air. The air inside the ball has a much higher pressure than the air on the outside. I then use the solid mechanics and acoustic pressure frequency domain modules to set up my initial conditions. So I guess my question is what other modules should I be using and what studies should i use to replicate the mode shapes and resonance frequencies found in the study?
Attached below is my current setup

You should start out with pure acoustics, and investigate the modes and compare with the paper, before including structural mechanics.
