Abstract

A frequency domain numerical method aimed at solving the propagation of sound waves in a three-dimensional domain enclosing rotating obstacles is presented. It relies on a domain decomposition whereby rotating parts are all embedded in a cylindrically-shaped domain. Following the classical Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formalism, the governing equation, which is written in the local rotating frame, takes the form of a convected wave equation. The transmission conditions at the interface between the fixed and rotating domains is accomplished via the Frequency Scattering Boundary Conditions which, after classical FEM discretization, give rise to a series of coupled problems associated with a discrete set of frequencies. The performances of the method are demonstrated through several test cases involving rotating sources and/or obstacles inserted in circular and rectangular ducts.
