Only one port should be excited at a time if the purpose is to compute S-parameters. The S-parameters are defined as acpr.S11, acpr.S21, etc. and can be used in postprocessing.

For User defined enter user defined expressions for the Mode shape pn, un, Tn, and the Mode wave number kn (SI unit: rad/m). The modes shape will automatically be scaled before it is used in the port condition. Use the user defined option to enter a known analytical expression or to use the solution from The Thermoviscous Acoustics, Boundary Mode Interface. The solutions from the boundary mode analysis can be referenced using the withsol() operator.

The Numeric (plane wave mode) port options is used for waveguides of arbitrary cross sections. In this case the shape of the propagating plane wave mode (0,0) is solved on the port face assuming no-slip and isothermal wall conditions.
|
•
|
The Circular (plane wave mode) port option is used for waveguides of circular cross section. The analytical mode is a plane wave mode (0,0) given by a constant cross section pressure, no-slip condition for the velocity, and isothermal condition for the temperature. An example of the propagating mode shape in a cylindrical waveguide is seen below.

The Slit (plane wave mode) port option only exists in 2D on a boundary. In 2D, the geometry is assumed infinite in the out-of-plane direction and represents a slit. The analytical mode is a plane wave mode (0,0) given by a constant cross section pressure, no-slip condition for the velocity, and isothermal condition for the temperature.

For Amplitude enter the amplitude Ain (SI unit: Pa) of the incident wave. This is in general defined as the maximum amplitude for a given mode shape.
|
•
|
Enter the phase φin (SI unit: rad) of the incident wave. This phase contribution is multiplied with the amplitude defined by the above options. Note, that the Amplitude input can be a complex number.
|
For the Circular and Slit options make sure to only select modes that are actually symmetric according to the symmetry planes.
When postprocessing, remember that absolute values like, for example, the outgoing power at port 1, ta.port1.P_out, needs to be multiplied with an appropriate factor. Multiplication with two if one symmetry plane is used etc.
