Apartment

Problem description

This example solves adaptively the pressure field in an apartment, that is caused by a harmonic local acoustics source. The geometry and initial mesh are shown below.

Domain.

Equation solved:

-\nabla \left(\frac{1}{\rho} \nabla p\right) - \frac{1}{\rho}\left(\frac{\omega}{c}\right)^2 p = 0.

Boundary conditions are Dirichlet (prescribed pressure) on one edge. The rest of the boundary are wall with a Newton condition (matched boundary).

\frac{1}{\rho} \frac{\partial p}{\partial n} = \frac{j \omega p}{\rho c}

Here p is pressure, \rho density of air, \omega = 2 \pi f angular frequency, and c speed of sound. See the main.cpp file for concrete values.
