متن کاملA short note on the nested-sweep polarized traces method for the 2D Helmholtz equation
We present a variant of the solver in Zepeda-Núñez and Demanet (2014), for the 2D high-frequency Helmholtz equation in heterogeneous acoustic media. By changing the domain decomposition from a layered to a grid-like partition, this variant yields improved asymptotic online and offline runtimes and a lower memory footprint. The solver has online parallel complexity that scales sublinearly as O (...
متن کاملNested Domain Decomposition with Polarized Traces for the 2d Helmholtz Equation
Abstract. We present a solver for the 2D high-frequency Helmholtz equation in heterogeneous, constant density, acoustic media, with online parallel complexity that scales empirically as O(NP ), where N is the number of volume unknowns, and P is the number of processors, as long as P = O(N1/5). This sublinear scaling is achieved by domain decomposition, not distributed linear algebra, and improv...
متن کاملAnalysis of Radial Baffle Effects on Acoustic Characteristics of a Combustion Chamber
An efficient finite volume approach has been used to develop a three dimensional Helmholtz acoustic solver for complex geometries. This acoustic solver was utilized to obtain characteristic mode shapes and frequencies of a baffled combustion chamber. An experimental setup, including stationary and moving sensors, has also been used to measure these quantities for the same model combustion chamb...
متن کاملA high-order accurate, collocated boundary element method for wave propagation in layered media
The ultimate goal of this research is to construct a hybrid model for sound propagation in layered underwater environments with curved boundaries by employing a di↵erential formulation for inhomogeneous layers and a boundary integral formulation for homogeneous layers. The discretization of the new hybrid model is a combination of a finite di↵erence method for the Helmholtz equation for inhomog...
