The objective of the course is to give a deeper understanding of the fluid-structure interaction controlling linear acoustics. In particular, the course will emphasize general phenomenological modelling, including computer-based formulations and procedures, and their mathematical models. Models will be studied at different levels of complexity, e.g. simplified analytical, wave decompostions, finite element solutions and other numerical approaches.
Relevant topics in fluid-structure interaction will be discussed, including a brief review of relevant scientific literature in the field. Emphasis is placed on interpretation and critical evaluation of results.
This individual course is aimed towards PhD students in technical acoustics.
After the course, the student should be able to:
- Formulate and critically review models for the fluid-structure interaction phenomena that govern the structural-acoustical behavior of a structure embedded in an inviscid medium.
- Describe mathematical and numerical models of elastic and acoustic interaction phenomena. In this part studies of methods for homogenisation as well as phenomenological scaling models used in qualitative descriptions of acoustic effects occurring at different levels of physical scales of relevance.
- Describe the different types of boundary and coupling conditions that control the interaction.
- Evaluate fluid-structure interaction phenomena through numerical simulations and analyse problems, using different types of solution techniques, e.g. transfer matrix, finite elements, etc.
