FDLV111 - Absorption of a wave of pressure in
a fluid column




Summary:

One tests the fluid paraxial elements of command 1 intended to apply conditions absorbing to the border
of a mesh finite elements to simulate the infinite one in direct transitory calculations.
Are used they to modelize an infinite fluid column, in 3D or 2D, in which one creates a wave of
pressure using a piston. One is interested in nonthe reflection of the wave at the “infinite” end of the column.
One tests successively the two direct transitory operators of Code_Aster, namely DYNA_LINE_TRAN and
DYNA_NON_LINE.

Problem of reference
1.1 Geometry
The system considered in the case 3D is that of a column of fluid with square section and of a piston
of the same section animated of a rigid movement of body according to the axis of the column. Side surface
column consists of a motionless rigid guide. One places the elements absorbents on the face
opposed to the piston to simulate the infinite character of the column in this direction. In the case 2D,
the principle is identical with a very broad supposed column and a piston which one does not modelize
that a vertical section (see diagram).

Boundary conditions and loadings
One has on side surface of the column the elements fluid-structure which one locks the ddl
displacements with zero to reproduce the condition of rigid wall.
One imposes on all the nodes of the face of the piston in contact with the fluid a displacement according to X
with the function of following temporal excitation:

Reference solution
The solution must show the absorption of an acoustic wave by absorbing surface. The movement
piston is a uniform translation according to the x axis. Taking into account the symmetry of the problem
around this axis, one will obtain an identical field of pressure in all the plans X = Cte. Moreover,
the absorbing border is orthogonal with this axis. One thus studies the absorption of waves of pressure
plane under normal angle of attack. The theory [bib1] known as that with a fluid paraxial border of command 1,
this absorption is perfect. It is what one must check with this reference solution.
One thus goes, by observing the evolution of the pressure in a given point of the mesh, to stick to
to find in the signal obtained the duration of excitation and the return at rest after the passage of the wave,
characteristic of its absorption.

Results of reference
One gives in this paragraph the results obtained with Code_Aster in this configuration. One
check that they are satisfactory and one takes them as reference for the future.
They concern, for the case 3D, the evolution of pressure in a point of the fluid located at 150 m of the piston
in direction X and in the center of the section in the yz plan. For the case 2D, the point is located at 40 m
piston according to X and in the middle of the section in the direction y (in 2D, one takes a shorter mesh
and refined).

As envisaged, the width of the signal measured in both cases is identical to that of the function
of excitation. Physically, one observes well compression due to advanced piston, then
depression corresponding to its retreat to return to its initial position. One notes also clearly
the return at rest immediately after the passage of the wave and the absence of signal thought of
the end of the mesh.

Summary of the results
One finds by calculation with two modelings qualitatively, the maximum ones of pressure with
good moments and the return at rest after the passage of the wave.
The results obtained with operators DYNA_LINE_TRAN and DYNA_NON_LINE are very close.
The difference comes from obtaining to each pitch in time from the state from balance from the efforts from the second
member with operator DYNA_NON_LINE. This difference remains however tiny because the pitch of
time used with DYNA_LINE_TRAN is sufficiently small.
