Hey All,

I am trying to simulate Laminar flow in a Channel where the inlet velocity is being updated by a Sin-wave function and I have some queries in this regard.

1. Does COMSOL has an option for 'offset' of fuctions ? or I just have to give it manually in my velocity inlet field of the Physics .

2. A Sin-wave should result in a reverse flow in the channel (since it occurs between +z and -z , where 'z' represents the upper and lower limits of amplitude) but unfortunately , I am unable to see the phenomenon in my simulation.

Please have a look at the attached model and give me some suggestions.

Thank you for your help in advance .

Sincerely,
Irfan Malik

Hi,
Note the period of the function wv1 !
If you want to see the velocity and pressure pulsation then extend your simulation to, say 6s.

Thanks a lot Andrzej :) That worked .

If I am getting it right, this is because the sin wave has a frequency of 2*pi . so pulsations were not being observed before this time
