Theory for the Pipe Acoustics Interfaces
The equations governing the propagation of sound in pipes stem from considering momentum, mass, and energy balances for a control volume of a piece of pipe. The resulting equations are expressed in the cross-sectional averaged variables and reduces the equations to a 1D component with scalar dependent variables. The present theory assumes no thermal conduction and thus no losses due to thermal conduction (isentropic sound propagation). The Pipe Acoustics, Transient and the Pipe Acoustics, Frequency Domain interfaces require both the Pipe Flow Module and the Acoustics Module.
