There are no variable ultrasonic frequency transducer. The purpose is to determine the optimum frequency and fabricate the transducer.

Anyway: The CFD model you describe is going to be so difficult and complex that I would recommend strongly against it. The only way I can see to practically model what you describe is with some reduced order modelling, or a model which looks at how strong the pressure waves are at the cleaning location and you infer cleaning effectiveness from that.

grippen have you find out the solution ? I need some help

have you find out the solution ? I'm doing the same need some guidance

If you are trying to model linear acoustic waves in a liquid then CFX does not sounds like an appropriate tool. Something like SYSNOISE or other acoustic simulation software would appear more suitable. I think ANSYS Mechanical has some new acoustic capabilities in the new release as well (V18.2).

[kenzakhan]

which is the proper way of doing this type of analysis ? whether it involves programming or not ?

[ghorrocks]

I do not have time to write step by step guides, I am a busy person.

If you describe what you are trying to do we can suggest whether CFX is a suitable software.

I am trying to find out flow rate of natural gas by passing out ultrasonic waves

Have a look at SYSNOISE. I don't know if it can do all the physics you will need but if it can it will be much faster than CFX. Also do a google search, there are lots of packages out there. But I can guarantee CFX has the necessary physics to model it - the question is whether the simulation will finish before the next millennium.

hey gorrocks!

I clamp two transducers at 45 degree to each other,how can I send and receive ultrasonic waves from them? kindly guide
