Two-Dimensional Simulation of Nonlinear Acoustic Wave Propagation Using Constrained Interpolation Profile Method

摘要

In this study, a numerical simulation of the nonlinear sound wave propagation in the time domain is demonstrated by constrained interpolation profile/cubic-jnterpolated pseudoparticle (CIP) method. The CIP method is a novel numerical scheme which was proposed by Yabe et al. It is a method of characteristics (MOC) and is a low-dispersion and stable scheme. The CIP method is suitable for analysis of nonlinear wave propagation including weak shock formation because the rapid pressure change, such as that caused by a shock front, easily causes numerical dispersion error in a conventional numerical scheme. Some of the authors have reported application of the CIP method to a one-dimensional nonlinear sound wave propagation in air. Then, we demonstrate a numerical calculation of the nonlinear sound wave propagation for a two-dimensional acoustic field.
