Car Cabin Acoustics — Transient Analysis
Application ID: 132741
This tutorial shows the analysis of a car cabin in order to study the performance of a sound system in the low to mid frequency range. The model studies the transient response to an emitted Gaussian modulated harmonic signal solved with the Pressure Acoustics, Time Explicit physics interface.
Frequency dependent impedance conditions for the seats, carpet, and roof are included using the General local reacting (rational approximation) impedance option. The input data is fitted using the Partial Fraction Fit. The model is solved using the Accelerated solver formulation that can be run on a GPU.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
