Chapter 1: Introduction to Acoustic Analysis
The following topics introducing you to acoustic analysis are available:
1.1.The General Acoustic Equations
1.2. Overview of the Acoustic Analysis Process
1.1.The General Acoustic Equations
Acoustic analysis is available in the ANSYS Multiphysics and ANSYS Mechanical products.This type of
analysis simulates the generation and propagation properties of either the coupled acoustic-structural
interaction (FSI) or the uncoupled pure acoustic wave in the given environment. Support is available
for modal, time-harmonic, and transient acoustic analysis.
The program assumes that the fluid is compressible with zero mean flow. Only relatively small pressure
changes are allowed with respect to the mean pressure. An acoustic analysis usually involves modeling
the acoustic phenomena in an acoustic fluid and in a structure. A coupled acoustic-structural interaction
analysis takes the structural dynamics equation into account, along with the linearized Navier-Stokes
equations of fluid momentum and the flow continuity equation. A pure acoustic analysis models the
acoustics fluid.
In an acoustic analysis, one of the two following matrix equations is solved. For pure acoustic phenomena,
the program solves for this finite element dynamic matrix equation:
ɺɺ ɺ
+ + =
F e F e F e F
where [M ], [C ], and [K ] are the mass, damping, and stiffness matrices, respectively, and {f } is the ex-
F F F F
ternal excitation vector in the acoustic fluid.
In acoustic-structural interaction application, the program solves for the fully coupled finite element
dynamic matrix equation:

ternal force vector in the structure. [R] is the coupled matrix and represents the coupling conditions on
the interface between the acoustic fluid and the structure.
For more information about the matrices, see the Derivation of Acoustic Matrices and Acoustic Fluid-
Structural Interaction (FSI) sections in the Mechanical APDL Theory Reference.
1.2. Overview of the Acoustic Analysis Process
In general, the program simulates interior problems or exterior problems as well as FSI problems.

Introduction to Acoustic Analysis
For interior problems, a sound wave propagates or oscillates in a closed structure.The oscillating fre-
quencies and transmission loss (TL) are usually investigated. For exterior problems, a sound wave radiates
into open space or it is scattered by a structural object in the open domain.
The radiation sound power level (L ), directive gain, or target strength (TS) is usually investigated.The
w
program’s applications include, but are not limited to, sonar, noise investigation, acoustic design of ar-
chitecture, underwater acoustics, and the design of acoustic devices.
An acoustic analysis involves most of the general steps found in any analysis. Following is the general
process for performing an acoustic analysis:
Table 1.1: Acoustic Analysis Steps
Step Tasks Comments
1. Build the model. An acoustic model generally consists of fluid domain,
structural parts, FSI interfaces, sound excitations, and
the truncation of the infinite domain.
ANSYS Workbench may help in building the model
easily.
2. Set up the model envir- Acoustic analysis is supported by the FLUID29,FLU-
onment. ID30,FLUID220, and FLUID221 elements.
The FLUID129 and FLUID130 elements can act as ab-
sorbing elements to truncate the infinite fluid domain.
The FLUID29 element may not support some 3-D ele-
ment features. See the documentation for that element
in the Element Reference.
3. Define material proper- Defining the material properties for an acoustic analysis
ties. is no different from any other analysis. Use the MP or
TB commands to define linear or nonlinear material
properties.
The equivalent fluid model is defined by the TB com-
mand. For more information, see Defining Material
Properties in the Basic Analysis Guide and Sophisticated
Acoustic Media in the Mechanical APDL Theory Refer-
ence.
4. Mesh the model. Use meshing commands to mesh the different parts
of the model. Certain areas may require more detailed
meshing or special considerations.
To ensure a reliable solution, either ten elements per
wavelength for low-order elements or five elements
per wavelength for high-order elements are required
at the highest working frequency.
For more information, see the Modeling and Meshing
Guide.
5. Define the boundary Define the boundary conditions using the D or SF
conditions. command.The absorbing element FLUID130 or the
