Bore reconstruction of woodwind-like instruments

The internal geometry of a wind instrument can be estimated from acoustic measurements. For woodwind instruments, this involves characterizing the inner shape (bore) but also the side holes (dimensions and location). In this study, the geometric parameters are recovered by a gradient-based optimization process, which minimizes the deviation between simulated…

Model of thermoviscous acoustic propagation in thin rough tubes

Contributors: Alexis Thibault (Ph. D. student), Henri Boutin (STMS UMR 9912), Juliette Chabassier, Thomas Hélie (STMS UMR 9912) Thermoviscous acoustic propagation in a tube with corrugated isothermal rigid walls is considered. At long wavelengths, it amounts to a 1D transmission line equation, in which the coefficients depend on the solution…

A discontinuous Galerkin Trefftz type method for solving the two dimensional Maxwell equations

Participants : Kakon Sem Fure (Master student), Margot Sirdey (PhD Student), Sébastien Pernet (ONERA), Sébastien Tordeux Trefftz methods are known to be very efficient to reduce the numerical pollution when associated to plane wave basis. However, these local basis functions are not adapted to the computation of evanescent modes or…

Trefftz methods for electromagnetic waves in the context of High Performance Computing

Participants : Margot Sirdey (Doctorante) Sébastien Tordeux, Sébastien Pernet (ONERA) Three dimensional electromagnetic waves simulation is an important issue in many applications. Industrial simulation frequently involves the solution of a large linear system. When resorting to direct methods (LU decompositions) the necessary memory for the inversion of the matrix increases…

Unstructured Isogeometric Analysis for time- and frequency-domain wave propagation

We have used unstructured (simplex) splines to formulate an unstructured version of isogeometric analysis. The basis functions are built from an underlying point cloud, and not on a mesh, unlike standard finite elements (FE). The basis functions are smoother than the usual FE basis, and their regularity can be adapted…
