obtain the eigenfrequency of water in a cuboid container, select physics????

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am doing a simulation in COMSOL 5.1. A cuboid container is filled with water, I want to obtain the eigenfrequency of water (not the eigenfrequency of cuboid). The cuboid container doesn’t need to be established in Geometry and should be defined in boundary condition.
1. Which physics should I use for this problem? Structural Mechanics-Solid Mechanics- eigenfrequency? Or Pressure Acoustics Frequency domain (acpr)? Or something else?
2. If I use the water in Solid Mechanics, I need to define the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of water (maybe water’s Young’s modulus is 2.2e9 [Pa]? and water’s Poisson’s ratio is 0.5?) or I should use other physics.
3. When I use 2.2e9[Pa] and 0.5 in simulation, there will be an error:
Undefined value found.
- Detail: Undefined value found in the stiffness matrix.
There are 58765 equations giving NaN/Inf in the matrix rows for the variable comp1.u.
at coordinates: (0.35,0.0323495,0.00593529), (0.35,0.0357826,0.00560539), (0.35,0.0392158,0.00527549), (0.35,0.0340319,0.00296764), (0.35,0.037465,0.00263775), ...

and similarly for the degrees of freedom, NaN/Inf in the matrix columns.

I have searched for it on google and didn’t find answer. I will appreciate it very much if you could give me some tutorial about this problem. Thank you very much!

My adice is: try to understand what the meaning of an eigenmode of a water cube could be and what kind of exitation water can carry.

Cheers
