The acoustic wave equation governs the propagation of pressure waves. Wave |
17 |
|
|
types that obey this law tend to travel in liquids or gases where shear waves |
18 |
ahallam |
3004 |
or longitudinal style wave motion is not possible. An obvious example is sound |
19 |
ahallam |
3003 |
waves. |
20 |
|
|
|
21 |
ahallam |
3004 |
The acoustic wave equation is defined as; |
22 |
ahallam |
3003 |
\begin{equation} |
23 |
|
|
\nabla ^2 p - \frac{1}{c^2} \frac{\partial ^2 p}{\partial t^2} = 0 |
24 |
|
|
\label{eqn:acswave} |
25 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
26 |
ahallam |
3004 |
where $p$ is the pressure, $t$ is the time and $c$ is the wave velocity. |

\section{The Laplacian in \esc} |
29 |
|
|
The Laplacian opperator which can be written as $\Delta$ or $\nabla^2$ is |
30 |
|
|
calculated via the divergence of the gradient of the object, which is in this |
31 |
|
|
example $p$. Thus we can write; |
32 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
33 |
ahallam |
3029 |
\nabla^2 p = \nabla \cdot \nabla p = |
34 |
|
|
\sum\hackscore{i}^n |
35 |
|
|
\frac{\partial^2 p}{\partial x^2\hackscore{i}} |
36 |
ahallam |
3004 |
\label{eqn:laplacian} |
37 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
38 |
ahallam |
3232 |
For the two dimensional case in Cartesian coordinates \autoref{eqn:laplacian} |
39 |
ahallam |
3004 |
becomes; |
40 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
41 |
|
|
\nabla^2 p = \frac{\partial^2 p}{\partial x^2} |
42 |
|
|
+ \frac{\partial^2 p}{\partial y^2} |
43 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
44 |
ahallam |
3003 |
|
45 |
ahallam |
3004 |
In \esc the Laplacian is calculated using the divergence representation and the |
46 |
|
|
intrinsic functions \textit{grad()} and \textit{trace()}. The fucntion |
47 |
|
|
\textit{grad{}} will return the spatial gradients of an object. |
48 |
|
|
For a rank 0 solution, this is of the form; |
49 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
50 |
|
|
\nabla p = \left[ |
51 |
|
|
\frac{\partial p}{\partial x \hackscore{0}}, |
52 |
|
|
\frac{\partial p}{\partial x \hackscore{1}} |
53 |
|
|
\right] |
54 |
|
|
\label{eqn:grad} |
55 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
56 |
|
|
Larger ranked solution objects will return gradient tensors. For example, a |
57 |
|
|
pressure field which acts in the directions $p \hackscore{0}$ and $p |
58 |
|
|
\hackscore{1}$ would return; |
59 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
60 |
|
|
\nabla p = \begin{bmatrix} |
61 |
|
|
\frac{\partial p \hackscore{0}}{\partial x \hackscore{0}} & |
62 |
|
|
\frac{\partial p \hackscore{1}}{\partial x \hackscore{0}} \\ |
63 |
|
|
\frac{\partial p \hackscore{0}}{\partial x \hackscore{1}} & |
64 |
|
|
\frac{\partial p \hackscore{1}}{\partial x \hackscore{1}} |
65 |
|
|
\end{bmatrix} |
66 |
|
|
\label{eqn:gradrank1} |
67 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
68 |
ahallam |
3003 |
|
69 |
ahallam |
3232 |
\autoref{eqn:grad} corresponds to the Linear PDE general form value |
70 |
ahallam |
3029 |
$X$. Notice however that the general form contains the term $X |
71 |
|
|
\hackscore{i,j}$\footnote{This is the first derivative in the $j^{th}$ |
72 |
|
|
direction for the $i^{th}$ component of the solution.}, |
73 |
ahallam |
3004 |
hence for a rank 0 object there is no need to do more than calculate the |
74 |
|
|
gradient and submit it to the solver. In the case of the rank 1 or greater |
75 |
|
|
object, it is nesscary to calculate the trace also. This is the sum of the |
76 |
ahallam |
3232 |
diagonal in \autoref{eqn:gradrank1}. |
77 |
ahallam |
3004 |
|
78 |
|
|
Thus when solving for equations containing the Laplacian one of two things must |
79 |
ahallam |
3063 |
be completed. If the object \verb!p! is less than rank 1 the gradient is |
80 |
ahallam |
3004 |
calculated via; |
81 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\begin{python} |
82 |
ahallam |
3063 |
gradient=grad(p) |
83 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\end{python} |
84 |
ahallam |
3004 |
and if the object is greater thank or equal to a rank 1 tensor, the trace of |
85 |
|
|
the gradient is calculated. |
86 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\begin{python} |
87 |
ahallam |
3004 |
gradient=trace(grad(p)) |
88 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\end{python} |
89 |
ahallam |
3004 |
These valuse can then be submitted to the PDE solver via the general form term |
90 |
|
|
$X$. The Laplacian is then computed in the solution process by taking the |
91 |
|
|
divergence of $X$. |
92 |
|
|
|
93 |
ahallam |
3025 |
Note, if you are unsure about the rank of your tensor, the \textit{getRank} |
94 |
|
|
command will return the rank of the PDE object. |
95 |
|
|
\begin{python} |
96 |
|
|
rank = p.getRank() |
97 |
|
|
\end{python} |

\section{Numerical Solution Stability} \label{sec:nsstab} |
101 |
ahallam |
3004 |
Unfortunately, the wave equation belongs to a class of equations called |
102 |
|
|
\textbf{stiff} PDEs. These types of equations can be difficult to solve |
103 |
ahallam |
3025 |
numerically as they tend to oscilate about the exact solution which can |
104 |
|
|
eventually lead to a catastrophic failure in the solution. To counter this |
105 |
|
|
problem, explicitly stable schemes like |
106 |
ahallam |
3004 |
the backwards Euler method are required. There are two variables which must be |
107 |
|
|
considered for stability when numerically trying to solve the wave equation. |
108 |
ahallam |
3025 |
For linear media, the two variables are related via; |
109 |
ahallam |
3004 |
\begin{equation} \label{eqn:freqvel} |
110 |
|
|
f=\frac{v}{\lambda} |
111 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
112 |
ahallam |
3025 |
The velocity $v$ that a wave travels in a medium is an important variable. For |
113 |
|
|
stability the analytical wave must not propagate faster than the numerical wave |
114 |
|
|
is able to, and in general, needs to be much slower than the numerical wave. |
115 |
ahallam |
3003 |
For example, a line 100m long is discretised into 1m intervals or 101 nodes. If |
116 |
|
|
a wave enters with a propagation velocity of 100m/s then the travel time for |
117 |
|
|
the wave between each node will be 0.01 seconds. The time step, must therefore |
118 |
|
|
be significantly less than this. Of the order $10E-4$ would be appropriate. |
119 |
|
|
|
120 |
ahallam |
3004 |
The wave frequency content also plays a part in numerical stability. The |
121 |
|
|
nyquist-sampling theorem states that a signals bandwidth content will be |
122 |
|
|
accurately represented when an equispaced sampling rate $f \hackscore{n}$ is |
123 |
|
|
equal to or greater than twice the maximum frequency of the signal |
124 |
|
|
$f\hackscore{s}$, or; |
125 |
|
|
\begin{equation} \label{eqn:samptheorem} |
126 |
|
|
f\hackscore{n} \geqslant f\hackscore{s} |
127 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
128 |
|
|
For example a 50Hz signal will require a sampling rate greater than 100Hz or |
129 |
|
|
one sample every 0.01 seconds. The wave equation relies on a spatial frequency, |
130 |
|
|
thus the sampling theorem in this case applies to the solution mesh spacing. In |
131 |
|
|
this way, the frequency content of the input signal directly affects the time |
132 |
|
|
discretisation of the problem. |
133 |
|
|
|
134 |
|
|
To accurately model the wave equation with high resolutions and velocities |
135 |
|
|
means that very fine spatial and time discretisation is necessary for most |
136 |
|
|
problems. |
137 |
|
|
This requirement makes the wave equation arduous to |
138 |
ahallam |
3003 |
solve numerically due to the large number of time iterations required in each |
139 |
ahallam |
3004 |
solution. Models with very high velocities and frequencies will be the worst |
140 |
ahallam |
3029 |
affected by this problem. |

\section{Displacement Solution} |
143 |
|
|
\sslist{example07a.py} |
144 |
|
|
|
145 |
|
|
We begin the solution to this PDE with the centred difference formula for the |
146 |
|
|
second derivative; |
147 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
148 |
|
|
f''(x) \approx \frac{f(x+h - 2f(x) + f(x-h)}{h^2} |
149 |
|
|
\label{eqn:centdiff} |
150 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
151 |
ahallam |
3232 |
substituting \autoref{eqn:centdiff} for $\frac{\partial ^2 p }{\partial t ^2}$ |
152 |
|
|
in \autoref{eqn:acswave}; |
153 |
ahallam |
3003 |
\begin{equation} |
154 |
ahallam |
3004 |
\nabla ^2 p - \frac{1}{c^2h^2} \left[p\hackscore{(t+1)} - 2p\hackscore{(t)} + |
155 |
|
|
p\hackscore{(t-1)} \right] |
156 |
ahallam |
3003 |
= 0 |
157 |
|
|
\label{eqn:waveu} |
158 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
159 |
|
|
Rearranging for $p_{(t+1)}$; |
160 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
161 |
ahallam |
3004 |
p\hackscore{(t+1)} = c^2 h^2 \nabla ^2 p\hackscore{(t)} +2p\hackscore{(t)} - |
162 |
|
|
p\hackscore{(t-1)} |
163 |
ahallam |
3003 |
\end{equation} |
164 |
|
|
this can be compared with the general form of the \modLPDE module and it |
165 |
ahallam |
3004 |
becomes clear that $D=1$, $X\hackscore{i,j}=-c^2 h^2 \nabla ^2 p_{(t)}$ and |
166 |
|
|
$Y=2p_{(t)} - p_{(t-1)}$. |
167 |
ahallam |
3003 |
|
168 |
ahallam |
3025 |
The solution script is similar to others that we have created in previous |
169 |
ahallam |
3004 |
chapters. The general steps are; |
170 |
|
|
\begin{enumerate} |
171 |
|
|
\item The necessary libraries must be imported. |
172 |
|
|
\item The domain needs to be defined. |
173 |
|
|
\item The time iteration and control parameters need to be defined. |
174 |
|
|
\item The PDE is initialised with source and boundary conditions. |
175 |
|
|
\item The time loop is started and the PDE is solved at consecutive time steps. |
176 |
|
|
\item All or select solutions are saved to file for visualisation lated on. |
177 |
|
|
\end{enumerate} |
178 |
|
|
|
179 |
|
|
Parts of the script which warrant more attention are the definition of the |
180 |
|
|
source, visualising the source, the solution time loop and the VTK data export. |
181 |
|
|
|
182 |
|
|
\subsection{Pressure Sources} |
183 |
|
|
As the pressure is a scalar, one need only define the pressure for two |
184 |
|
|
time steps prior to the start of the solution loop. Two known solutions are |
185 |
|
|
required because the wave equation contains a double partial derivative with |
186 |
|
|
respect to time. This is often a good opportunity to introduce a source to the |
187 |
|
|
solution. This model has the source located at it's centre. The source should |
188 |
|
|
be smooth and cover a number of samples to satisfy the frequency stability |
189 |
|
|
criterion. Small sources will generate high frequency signals. Here, the source |
190 |
|
|
is defined by a cosine function. |
191 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\begin{python} |
192 |
ahallam |
3004 |
U0=0.01 # amplitude of point source |
193 |
|
|
xc=[500,500] #location of point source |
194 |
|
|
# define small radius around point xc |
195 |
|
|
src_radius = 30 |
196 |
|
|
# for first two time steps |
197 |
ahallam |
3025 |
u=U0*(cos(length(x-xc)*3.1415/src_radius)+1)*\ |
198 |
|
|
whereNegative(length(x-xc)-src_radius) |
199 |
ahallam |
3004 |
u_m1=u |
200 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\end{python} |
201 |
ahallam |
3004 |
When using a rectangular domain |
202 |
|
|
|
203 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\subsection{Visualising the Source} |
204 |
|
|
There are two options for visualising the source. The first is to export the |
205 |
|
|
initial conditions of the model to VTK, which can be interpreted as a scalar |
206 |
|
|
suface in mayavi. The second is to take a cross section of the model. |
207 |
|
|
|
208 |
|
|
For the later, we will require the \textit{Locator} function. |
209 |
ahallam |
3063 |
First \verb!Locator! must be imported; |
210 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\begin{python} |
211 |
|
|
from esys.escript.pdetools import Locator |
212 |
|
|
\end{python} |
213 |
|
|
The function can then be used on the domain to locate the nearest domain node |
214 |
|
|
to the point or points of interest. |
215 |
|
|
|
216 |
|
|
It is now necessary to build a list of $(x,y)$ locations that specify where are |
217 |
|
|
model slice will go. This is easily implemeted with a loop; |
218 |
|
|
\begin{python} |
219 |
|
|
cut_loc=[] |
220 |
|
|
src_cut=[] |
221 |
|
|
for i in range(ndx/2-ndx/10,ndx/2+ndx/10): |
222 |
|
|
cut_loc.append(xstep*i) |
223 |
|
|
src_cut.append([xstep*i,xc[1]]) |
224 |
|
|
\end{python} |
225 |
ahallam |
3063 |
We then submit the output to \verb!Locator! and finally return the appropriate |
226 |
|
|
values using the \verb!getValue! function. |
227 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\begin{python} |
228 |
|
|
src=Locator(mydomain,src_cut) |
229 |
|
|
src_cut=src.getValue(u) |
230 |
|
|
\end{python} |
231 |
|
|
It is then a trivial task to plot and save the output using \mpl. |
232 |
|
|
\begin{python} |
233 |
|
|
pl.plot(cut_loc,src_cut) |
234 |
|
|
pl.axis([xc[0]-src_radius*3,xc[0]+src_radius*3,0.,2*U0]) |
235 |
|
|
pl.savefig(os.path.join(savepath,"source_line.png")) |
236 |
|
|
\end{python} |
237 |
|
|
\begin{figure}[h] |

\end{figure} |
243 |
|
|
|

|
|
|
245 |
|
|
\subsection{Point Monitoring} |
246 |
|
|
In the more general case where the solution mesh is irregular or specific |
247 |
|
|
locations need to be monitored, it is simple enough to use the \textit{Locator} |
248 |
|
|
function. |
249 |
|
|
\begin{python} |
250 |
|
|
rec=Locator(mydomain,[250.,250.]) |
251 |
|
|
\end{python} |
252 |
ahallam |
3029 |
When the solution \verb u is updated we can extract the value at that point |
253 |
ahallam |
3025 |
via; |
254 |
|
|
\begin{python} |
255 |
|
|
u_rec=rec.getValue(u) |
256 |
|
|
\end{python} |
257 |
ahallam |
3063 |
For consecutive time steps one can record the values from \verb!u_rec! in an |
258 |
|
|
array initialised as \verb!u_rec0=[]! with; |
259 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\begin{python} |
260 |
|
|
u_rec0.append(rec.getValue(u)) |
261 |
|
|
\end{python} |
262 |
|
|
|
263 |
|
|
It can be useful to monitor the value at a single or multiple individual points |
264 |
|
|
in the model during the modelling process. This is done using |
265 |
ahallam |
3063 |
the \verb!Locator! function. |
266 |

\section{Acceleration Solution} |
269 |
|
|
\sslist{example07b.py} |
270 |
|
|
|
271 |
|
|
An alternative method is to solve for the acceleration $\frac{\partial ^2 |
272 |
ahallam |
3029 |
p}{\partial t^2}$ directly, and derive the displacement solution from the |
273 |
ahallam |
3232 |
PDE solution. \autoref{eqn:waveu} is thus modified; |
274 |
ahallam |
3003 |
\begin{equation} |
275 |
|
|
\nabla ^2 p - \frac{1}{c^2} a = 0 |
276 |
|
|
\label{eqn:wavea} |
277 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
278 |
ahallam |
3004 |
and can be solved directly with $Y=0$ and $X=-c^2 \nabla ^2 p\hackscore{(t)}$. |
279 |
ahallam |
3003 |
After each iteration the displacement is re-evaluated via; |
280 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
281 |
ahallam |
3004 |
p\hackscore{(t+1)}=2p\hackscore{(t)} - p\hackscore{(t-1)} + h^2a |
282 |
ahallam |
3003 |
\end{equation} |
283 |
|
|
|
284 |
ahallam |
3029 |
\subsection{Lumping} |
285 |
ahallam |
3004 |
For \esc, the acceleration solution is prefered as it allows the use of matrix |
286 |
|
|
lumping. Lumping or mass lumping as it is sometimes known, is the process of |
287 |
|
|
aggressively approximating the density elements of a mass matrix into the main |
288 |

diagonal. The use of Lumping is motivaed by the simplicity of diagonal matrix |
289 |
|
|
inversion. As a result, Lumping can significantly reduce the computational |
290 |
ahallam |
3029 |
requirements of a problem. Care should be taken however, as this |
291 |
|
|
function can only be used when the $A$, $B$ and $C$ coefficients of the |
292 |
|
|
general form are zero. |

To turn lumping on in \esc one can use the command; |
295 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\begin{python} |
296 |
ahallam |
3004 |
mypde.getSolverOptions().setSolverMethod(mypde.getSolverOptions().LUMPING) |
297 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\end{python} |
298 |
ahallam |
3004 |
It is also possible to check if lumping is set using; |
299 |
ahallam |
3025 |
\begin{python} |
300 |
ahallam |
3004 |
print mypde.isUsingLumping() |

\section{Stability Investigation} |
304 |
|
|
It is now prudent to investigate the stability limitations of this problem. |
305 |
ahallam |
3025 |
First, we let the frequency content of the source be very small. If we define |
306 |
|
|
the source as a cosine input, than the wavlength of the input is equal to the |
307 |
|
|
radius of the source. Let this value be 5 meters. Now, if the maximum velocity |
308 |
|
|
of the model is $c=380.0ms^{-1}$ then the source |
309 |
|
|
frequency is $f\hackscore{r} = \frac{380.0}{5} = 76.0 Hz$. This is a worst case |
310 |
|
|
scenario with a small source and the models maximum velocity. |
311 |
|
|
|
312 |
ahallam |
3232 |
Furthermore, we know from \autoref{sec:nsstab}, that the spatial sampling |
313 |
ahallam |
3025 |
frequency must be at least twice this value to ensure stability. If we assume |
314 |
|
|
the model mesh is a square equispaced grid, |
315 |
|
|
then the sampling interval is the side length divided by the number of samples, |
316 |
|
|
given by $\Delta x = \frac{1000.0m}{400} = 2.5m$ and the maximum sampling |
317 |
|
|
frequency capable at this interval is |
318 |
|
|
$f\hackscore{s}=\frac{380.0ms^{-1}}{2.5m}=152Hz$ this is just equal to the |
319 |
ahallam |
3232 |
required rate satisfying \autoref{eqn:samptheorem}. |
320 |
ahallam |
3004 |
|
321 |
ahallam |
3232 |
\autoref{fig:ex07sampth} depicts three examples where the grid has been |
322 |
ahallam |
3025 |
undersampled, sampled correctly, and over sampled. The grids used had |
323 |
|
|
200, 400 and 800 nodes per side respectively. Obviously, the oversampled grid |
324 |
|
|
retains the best resolution of the modelled wave. |
325 |
ahallam |
3004 |
|
326 |
ahallam |
3025 |
The time step required for each of these examples is simply calculated from |
327 |
|
|
the propagation requirement. For a maximum velocity of $380.0ms^{-1}$, |
328 |
|
|
\begin{subequations} |
329 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
330 |
|
|
\Delta t \leq \frac{1000.0m}{200} \frac{1}{380.0} = 0.013s |
331 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
332 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
333 |
|
|
\Delta t \leq \frac{1000.0m}{400} \frac{1}{380.0} = 0.0065s |
334 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
335 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
336 |
|
|
\Delta t \leq \frac{1000.0m}{800} \frac{1}{380.0} = 0.0032s |
337 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
338 |
|
|
\end{subequations} |
339 |
|
|
We can see, that for each doubling of the number of nodes in the mesh, we halve |
340 |
|
|
the timestep. To illustrate the impact this has, consider our model. If the |
341 |
|
|
source is placed at the center, it is $500m$ from the nearest boundary. With a |
342 |
|
|
velocity of $380.0ms^{-1}$ it will take $\approx1.3s$ for the wavefront to |
343 |
|
|
reach that boundary. In each case, this equates to $100$, $200$ and $400$ time |
344 |
|
|
steps. This is again, only a best case scenario, for true stability these time |
345 |
|
|
values may need to be halved and possibly havled again. |
