The Brüel & Kjær 4134 Condenser Microphone

Application ID: 12375


This is a model of the Brüel and Kjær 4134 condenser microphone. The geometry and material parameters are those of the actual microphone. The modeled sensitivity level is compared to measurements performed on an actual microphone and shows good agreement. The membrane deformation, pressure, velocity, and electric field are also determined.

The model is a true multiphysics problem that couples:

  • Thermoviscous Acoustics
  • Membrane
  • Electrostatics
  • Moving mesh ALE
