1 Introduction
Options of modeling were developed in Code_Aster, making it possible to study
low frequency stationary acoustic propagation, in closed medium, for fields of
propagation with complex topology, i.e. to solve there under the quoted conditions the equation of
Helmholtz.
The solution by finite elements of this equation can be carried out according to two methods:
·
a first method consists in being fixed like unknown factors of the problem, only them
nodal complex acoustic pressures, is 1 degree of freedom per node [bib1]; it is that
that one qualifies formulation with the finite elements “conventional”,
·
in the second method, called to the finite elements “mixed”, one fixes oneself like unknown factors at
time nodal acoustic pressures and 3 components nodal vibratory speed,
that is to say on the whole 4 degrees of freedom per node [bib5].
To know the paths of propagation of energy in the fluid, the acoustics expert has 2
sizes: active acoustic intensity
I
and reactive acoustic intensity
J;
these two sizes
are defined like:
[]
[]
I
v
J
v
=
=
1
2
1
2
Re p *
Im p *
and
éq 1-1
where
v *
indicate the combined complex one vibratory speed. The knowledge of these sizes
bring a very important further information in the resolution of problems of all kinds,
such as for example the measurement of the powers radiated by the machines, reconnaissance and
localization of the sources.
The calculation of the acoustic intensity by the finite element method mixed must provide values more
precise that conventional method; indeed in the mixed case one ensures the continuity of the derivative
first of the pressure and not simply the continuity of the latter.
However if it is more precise, the mixed formulation consumes on the other hand more size memory
and of time CPU, while keeping the advantage of having, with a number of degrees of freedom per length
of wave equal, a relative error increasingly weaker on the calculation of the acoustic intensity.

To build a method of approximation by finite elements of this problem, it is necessary of
to put in a variational form.

general controls and of the controls which are specific to accoustics, or of which key words and
options are particular with this discipline; we present the list below of it.
Definition of the characteristics of the propagation mediums
It is necessary to give the density (actual value) and the celerity of propagation (value
complex); one uses for that the control:
DEFI_MATERIAU
with the following key words:
key word factor:
FLUID
key words:
RHO
(density
0
)
CELE_C
(celerity
C
)
Example:
air = DEFI_MATERIAU (FLUID: (
RHO: 1.3
CELE_C: IH 343. 0. ));
In this case
0
= 343. + j0.
Assignment of the model
It is obligatorily necessary to specify that it is about the “acoustic” phenomenon and to choose one of the 3
possible modelings of accoustics; the control is thus used:
AFFE_MODELE
with the following key words for which one specifies the values of assignment
possible:
key word:
PHENOMENON: “ACOUSTIC”
MODELING
:
“3D”
or
“PLANE”
or
“3d_MIXTE”
Example:
guide = AFFE_MODELE (MESH: mall
AFFE: (
ALL: “yes”
MODELING: “3d_mixte”
PHENOMENON: “acoustic”));
Boundary conditions
One must affect values normal vibratory speed per face (or edge into two-dimensional) to
meshs defining the borders sources, and also values of acoustic impedance per face (edge
into two-dimensional) with the meshs defining the borders in imposed impedance.

One uses the control specific to accoustics:
AFFE_CHAR_ACOU
with the following key words:
key word:
MODEL
key word factor:
VITE_FACE
key word:

GROUP_MA
VNOR
(normal vibratory speed

key word factor:
IMPE_FACE
key word:

GROUP_MA
IMPE
(acoustic impedance

)
key word factor:
PRES_IMPO
NODE
GROUP_NO
NEAR
(pressure

imposed on the nodes)
Example:
characou = AFFE_CHAR_ACOU (
MODEL: guide
VITE_FACE: (
GROUP_MA: input
VNOR: IH 0.0135 0. ));
In this case
V
N
= 0.0135 + j0.
Calculation of the elementary matrices
The various elementary matrices (rigidity, mass and damping) are calculated by options
specific. The control is employed:
CALC_MATR_ELEM
with the key word
OPTION
for which one specifies the possible values of assignment:
key words:
OPTION:
“RIGI_ACOU”
“MASS_ACOU”
“AMOR_ACOU”
Example:
matele_k = CALC_MATR_ELEM (
MODEL: guide
CHAM_MATER: chamat
OPTION: “rigi_acou”).
Note:
the assembled matrices can be obtained directly with the macro control
MACRO_MATR_ASSE
and same options.
Calculation of the elementary vector source
The elementary vector is calculated by a specific option; it is obligatorily necessary to indicate it
loading. The control is employed:
CALC_VECT_ELEM
with the key word
OPTION
for which one specifies the only value of assignment
possible:
key words:
OPTION:
“CHAR_ACOU”
key words:
CHARGE
Example:
vectelem = CALC_VECT_ELEM (
MODEL: guide
CHAM_MATER: chamat
OPTION: “char_acou”
CHARGE: characou);

Calculation of the solution
After assembly of the elementary matrices and vector the harmonic solution can be calculated
directly with the control:
DYNA_LINE_HARM
Example:
presharm = DYNA_LINE_HARM (
MATR_MASS: matasm
MATR_RIGI: matask
MATR_AMOR: matasi
FREQ: F
EXCIT: (VECT_ASSE: vectass COEF_MULT:- 1.);

Postprocessings
From the result of the resolution of the matric transcription of the equations [éq 3.1-2] or
[éq 4.1.2-3], of the controls of postprocessing allow to obtain the nodal fields of sizes

6 Conclusion
Modules were thus integrated in Code_Aster, making it possible to make calculations of accoustics
interior in low frequencies for complex geometries by two methods: finite elements
conventional acoustics and mixed acoustic finite elements.
The two formulations were validated by comparison with the same analytical solution; cases tests
are presented in the manual of V7 validation under coding AHLV100.
As it was envisaged, the precision, with identical mesh, is higher in the mixed case; if one holds
count overall dimension memory this superiority is advantageous only if we want to obtain it
field of intensity: one should use the mixed E.F only in this case there.
