Efficient implementation of high-order finite elements for Helmholtz problems

Abstract: Computational modeling remains key to the acoustic design of various applications, but it is constrained by the cost of solving large Helmholtz problems at high frequencies. This paper presents an efficient implementation of the high-order Finite Element Method for tackling large-scale engineering problems arising in acoustics. A key feature of the proposed method is the ability to select automatically the order of interpolation in each element so as to obtain a target accuracy while minimising the cost. This is achieved using a simple local a priori error indicator. For simulations involving several frequencies, the use of hierarchic shape functions leads to an efficient strategy to accelerate the assembly of the finite element model. The intrinsic performance of the high-order FEM for 3D Helmholtz problem is assessed and an error indicator is devised to select the polynomial order in each element. A realistic 3D application is presented in detail to demonstrate the reduction in computational costs and the robustness of the a priori error indicator. For this test case the proposed method accelerates the simulation by an order of magnitude and requires less than a quarter of the memory needed by the standard FEM.

Analysis of high-order finite elements for convected wave propagation

Abstract: In this paper, we examine the performance of high-order finite element methods (FEM) for aeroacoustic propagation, based on the convected Helmholtz equation. A methodology is presented to measure the dispersion and amplitude errors of the p-FEM, including non-interpolating shape functions, such as ‘bubble’ shape functions. A series of simple test cases are also presented to support the results of the dispersion analysis. The main conclusion is that the properties of p-FEM that make its strength for standard acoustics (e.g., exponential p-convergence, low dispersion error) remain present for flow acoustics as well. However, the flow has a noticeable effect on the accuracy of the numerical solution, even when the change in wavelength due to the mean flow is accounted for, and an approximation of the dispersion error is proposed to describe the influence of the mean flow. Also discussed is the so-called aliasing effect, which can reduce the accuracy of the solution in the case of downstream propagation. This can be avoided by an appropriate choice of mesh resolution.

Plane wave basis in Galerkin BEM for bidimensional wave scattering

Abstract: This paper considers the problem of scattering of a time-harmonic acoustic incident wave by a bidimensional hard obstacle. The numerical solution to this problem is found using a Galerkin wave boundary integral formulation whereby the functional space is built as the product of conventional low order piecewise polynomials with a set of plane waves propagating in various directions. In this work we improve the original method by presenting new strategies when dealing with irregular meshes and corners. Numerical results clearly demonstrate that these improvements allow the handling of scatterers with complicated geometries while maintaining a low discretization level of 2.5–3 degrees of freedom per full wavelength. This makes the method a reliable tool for tackling high-frequency scattering problems.

Linear and nonlinear waves, by G. B. Whitham. Pp.636. £50. 1999. ISBN 0 471 35942 4 (Wiley).

Abstract: to be done in this area. Face recognition is a problem that scarcely clamoured for attention before the computer age but, having surfaced, has involved a wide range of techniques and has attracted the attention of some fine minds (David Mumford was a Fields Medallist in 1974). This singular application of mathematical modelling to a messy applied problem of obvious utility and importance but with no unique solution is a pretty one to share with students: perhaps, returning to the source of our opening quotation, we may invert Duncan's earlier observation, 'There is an art to find the mind's construction in the face!'.

Schwarz Alternating Method

Abstract: A discrete technique of the Schwarz alternating method is presented in this last chapter, to combine the Ritz-Galerkin and finite element methods. This technique is well suited for solving singularity problems in parallel, and requires a little more computation for large overlap of subdomains. The convergence rate of the iterative procedure, which depends upon overlap of subdomains, will be studied. Also a balance strategy will be proposed to couple the iteration number with the element size used in the FEM. For the crack-infinity problem of singularity the total CPU time by the technique in this chapter is much less than that by the nonconforming combination in Chapter 12.

Multiphysics NVH Modeling: Simulation of a Switched Reluctance Motor for an Electric Vehicle

Abstract: This paper presents a multiphysics modeling of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) to simulate the acoustic radiation of the electrical machine. The proposed method uses a 2-D finite-element model of the motor to simulate its magnetic properties and a multiphysics mechatronic model of the motor and controls to simulate operating conditions. Magnetic forces on the stator are calculated using finite-element analysis and are used as the excitation on a forced response analysis that contains a finite-element model of the motor stator structure. Finally, sound power levels are calculated using the boundary element method. Simulation results of the model are shown and compared with experimental measurements for a four-phase 8/6 SRM.
