“Computational models of weakly nonlinear sound propagation in ducts”
Abstract: Nonlinear wave propagation plays an important role in many applications, including ultrasonic focusing and musical sound production, among others. In particular, the spectral enrichment ("brassiness") in the sound generation of brass musical instruments is a result of nonlinear propagation inside the bore. From a computational point of view, the simulation of nonlinear acoustic propagation is challenging, as the field quantities become discontinuous in the presence of shocks.
In this talk, unidimensional computational models of weakly nonlinear acoustic propagation are examined, focusing on applications in musical acoustics. We compare a finite volume-based solution of the Menguy-Gilbert model to a finite element implementation of Kuznetsov's equation. The numerical dispersion and dissipation are evaluated first in the linear regime. Then, the nonlinear behavior is assessed by simulating shock formations and reflections. Finally, possibilities of extending the models by additional effects such as thermoviscous losses at the walls or coupling to an excitation mechanism are discussed.
The Department of Physics and Engineering of ITMO University (Saint Petersburg, Russia) hosts online weekly seminars to discuss recent scientific achievements of researchers from all over the world with a wide audience. The topics include experimental (Optical seminar) and theoretical (Theoretical seminar) aspects of nanophotonics and acoustics (Acoustic), solid-state physics, material science, as well as design and applications of radiofrequency structures and devices (Microwave seminar).
