Finite element solution of the transient exterior structural acoustics problem based on the use of radially asymptotic boundary operators (Q1205113): Difference between revisions

We propose a finite element formulation for solution of the time- dependent coupled wave equation over an infinite fluid domain. The formulation is based on a finite computational fluid domain surrounding the structure and incorporates a sequence of boundary operators on the fluid truncation boundary. These operators are designed to minimize reflection of outgoing waves and are based on an asymptotic expansion of the exact solution for the time-dependent problem.
