Hey all,
In my thesis, I am modelling an ultrasonic standing wave that is produced from a Pz26 transducer. The ultrasonic standing wave field will be used to separate the suspended polystyrene particles into nodal planes in the water. My fluid domain is both the water and the suspended polystyrene particles, and they are being surrounded by PMMA wall.
The multiphysics involved in this Thesis is piezoelectric effect (pzd) for the transducer, structure mechanics (solid) for the PMMA domain. For the fluid domain, the physics involved are pressure acoustic (acpr) and euler-euler, laminar flow model (ee).
The focus of my result is the pressure and sound pressure of the acoustic wave field, the stress of the PMMA wall. For the euler-euler, laminar flow model, the result that I want is the volume fraction of the dispersed phase, the velocity field of the dispersed and continuous phase.
These results will be compared with the journal article made by Trujillo et al. The title of the journal article is the "Multiphysics modelling of the separation of suspended particles via frequency ramping of ultrasonic standing waves" since we are working on the same model. The difference between their work and mine is that my physics involved the euler-euler, laminar flow model, while they only used the diffusion of particles physics. Furthermore, I am doing a 2D dimensional model while they did a pseudo one-dimensional model. The modelling view of the system of interest is different, they model the side view while I am modelling the top view.
What I can see from their results is that they included 2D surface plot diagram and also a 1D plot diagram but its kind of different though. Can anyone tell me what other type of results I can produce in my thesis in order to compare my results with theirs? For the most part I only used a 2D plot surface, and my co-supervisor added in a 1D plot result in the fluid domain only to compare the pressure of the acoustic wave field with the journal article. Any type of results that I can add in?
Furthermore, if you have any advice for me so I could score a high mark in my thesis, please do advice me.
