I am new to Comsol and I am trying to find the eigenmodes of a rotating sphere filled with water in the rotating frame. I have specified the sphere filled with water with free slip walls, specified pressure points specified and the Coriolis force imposed with the volume force: F=(-2*v,2u,0). I have tried to set up the simplest mode, called the spin-over mode where I have prescribed the initial velocity to be solid body rotation around the y axis: U_0=(-z,0,x). I am not sure how to set up the problem for finding the eigenvalues in the fluid. In Comsol 3, the eigenvalue was found as a subset of a time dependent problem but I am not sure how to even setup this problem in Comsol 4.3a.The examples I have found seems to deal with solid structures or acoustics and not with fluids. I have include a bare bones file with non dimensional parameters assigned. When I run it I only get Nan for the eigenvalues. Thank you very any help or links to helpful documentation.
