ANSYS simulation of LIGO ITM Comparison with analytical solution (LIGO-P020026-00-D)
Simulation parameters • 2D axysimmetrical model • Absorbed power in the coating: 10mW • Absorbed power in the substrate: 10mW • Waist of the gaussian heating beam: 3.4 cm • Radiation into space @ 295K • Coating modeling included in the simulation
12.5 cm HR surface Lateral surface 10 cm AR surface LIGO ITM RED: Ansys results BLUE: Analytical
HR surface AR surface Transient analysis results Legend: Red curve Blue curve Pink curve Green curve Simulation parameters: -10mW absorbed in the coating -internal steps of 5 minutes -length of the sim: 10 hrs
Modal analisys results: breathing mode • 2D axysimmetrical without coating: f0=14459.966 Hz • 2D axysimmetrical with coating: f0=14459.520 Hz • Full 3D model with coating (it takes forever): f0=14463.809 Hz
