Square drop oscillation under surface tension – 2D axi-symmetric model

Muriel CARIN, universite de bretagne sud, France

This model is concerned with the simulation of incompressible Newtonian fluid flow problems with surface tension. An initially cubic drop of water is oscillating under surface tension forces. This model is developed for a 2D axi-symmetric transient analysis. The movement and deformation of the computational domain are accounted for by employing the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) description of the fluid kinematics.
The implementation of the model is detailled step by step in the pdf file. To visualize the solution, you need to solve the model (click the solve button).

Hi,

I followed the method defined in the paper but the solution did not converge. I am using 3.5 version. Unfortunately I could not open the comsol file as it is created by a later version may be 3.5a? Is it possible to save the file in older version?
