Abstract [en]

Predicting noise using computational methods is a common approach in the field of acoustics, offering flexibility and results before a potentially costly installation. This project explores the possibility to calculate the change in noise level emitted from a speaker covered by a capsule, filled with porous material and positioned in two different ways, using the finite element method in the program COMSOL for low to mid frequency bands. The Helmholtz equation is solved in the air medium of the model excluding wave propagation in the solid domain of the capsule where it is present. To replicate the attenuation from porous materials in COMSOL the Delany-BazleyMiki poroacoustics model is used. Comparing the calculation to a control measurement conducted at the Marcus Wallenberg Laboratory, provisional predictions of accuracy is given in groups of configurations and in 1/3-octave bands. Using the available computational power in a common office computer it might be difficult to accurately portray the real-world installation since it might be necessary to alter geometric region, physics or frequency rangedue to runtime issues resulting in deviating results.

Abstract [sv]

Att förutspå ljuddämpning med hjälp av beräkningsmetoder är ett vanligt arbetssätt inom akustik som bidrar till flexibilitet och resultat innan en potentiellt kostsam installation. Det här projektet utforskar möjligheten att beräkna förändringen i ljudnivå från en högtalare som är täckt utav en kapsel fylld utav poröst material. Kapseln är placerad i två olika konfigurationer och finita element metoden används genom programmet comsol för att räkna ut ljudnivåer i låg och medelhöga frekvensband. Helmholtz ekvation löses i luftmediet som omger kapseln och högtalaren och Delany-Bazleys modell för porösa material används, vilken finns tillgänglig i COMSOL. Jämförelsen mellan beräkningen och en kontrollmätning gjord i Marcus Wallenbergs Laboratorium ger indikation på precisionen hos modellen, vilket visas i tersband. Med beräkningskraften hos en konventionell kontorsdator kan det vara svårt att noggrant beskriva den verkliga installationen där avsteg från verkligheten ofta handlar om förenklad geometri och fysik eller förändrat frekvensspann för att förhindra eskalerande problem med programmets körtid vilket leder till avvikande resultat.
