Piezo-Acoustic Transducer
People that use piezoelectric transducers are interested in phased-array microphone, ultrasound equipment, ink-jet drop actuators, drug discovery, Sonar transducers, bio-imaging and acousto-bio-theraputics. Basically anyone who is trying to create sound in air or liquids turns to a version of this p...

Acoustic Transmission Loss through Periodic Elastic Structures
In this model, two fluids are separated by a solid elastic structure. An acoustic pressure wave impacts the structure resulting in a reflected wave and a wave transmitted with a loss through the structure. This model investigates the transmission loss through the structure. The effects of incident a...

Absorptive Muffler
The sound level from a car depends to a great extent of the quality of the muffler. Over the years, researchers in car industry have struggled to produce mufflers that are efficient in both acoustic and environmental perspective.
This model describes the pressure wave propagation in a muffler for...

Loudspeaker
This is a model of a loudspeaker of the dynamic cone driver type, common for low and medium frequencies. The instructions walk you through modeling its electromagnetic, structural, and acoustic properties. The output from the model includes the total electric impedance and the on-axis sound press...

Ultrasound Scattering Off a Cylinder
This 2D model studies the scattering of ultrasound waves off a cylindrical obstacle with different acoustic properties than those of the surrounding medium.
The ultraweak variational formulation (UVWF) makes it possible to resolve the short wavelengths on a standard mesh.
The main advantage o...

Jet Pipe
This example models the radiation of fan noise from the annular duct of a turbofan aeroengine. When the jet stream exits the duct, a vortex sheet appears along the extension of the duct wall due to the surrounding air moving at a lower speed. The near field on both sides of the vortex sheet is calcu...

Flow Duct
The modeling of aircraft-engine noise is a central problem in the field of computational aeroacoustics. The acoustic field in a model of an axially symmetric aero-engine duct, generated by a noise source at the boundary, is computed and visualized.
Results are presented for situations with as we...

Muffler with Perforates
Reflective mufflers are best suited for the low frequency range where only plane waves can propagate in the system, while dissipative mufflers with fibers are efficient in the mid-to-high frequency range. Dissipative mufflers based on flow losses, on the other hand, work also at low frequencies....

Optimizing the Shape of a Horn
A plane-wave mode feeds an axisymmetric horn radiating from an infinite baffle towards an open half space. The radius of the feeding waveguide is assumed to be fixed, as well as the depth of the horn and the size of the hole where the horn is attached to the baffle.
By varying the curvature of the...
