Computational Acoustics of Noise Propagation in Fluids - Finite and Boundary Element Methods / Edition 1

by Steffen Marburg, Bodo Nolte

Overview

The book provides a survey of numerical methods for acoustics, namely the finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM). It is the first book summarizing FEM and BEM (and optimization) for acoustics. The book shows that both methods can be effectively used for many other cases, FEM even for open domains and BEM for closed ones. Emphasis of the book is put on numerical aspects and on treatment of the exterior problem in acoustics, i.e. noise radiation.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews: “This book contains a review of recent developments and new results for the application of finite and boundary element methods in acoustic simulations. … Without a doubt it will become a popular reference in the acoustic community. The volume can be highly recommended to graduate students and young researchers, as well as practitioners in the industry, as a representative compilation of recent methodical developments and interesting applications in the broad field of vibroacoustic simulation.” (Frank Ihlenburg, Acta Acustica United With Acustica, Vol. 95 (4), 2009)
