Interior Normal Velocity
The
Interior Normal Velocity
sets up an interior source that can be used to model a thin vibrating structure, for example, a loudspeaker diaphragm. Add this node from the
Interior Conditions
submenu.
The pressure is discontinuous across this boundary. Use the up and down version of the postprocessing variables to visualize quantities on the two sides of the boundary, for example, the up side total pressure is
pabe.p_t_up
.

For
Velocity
enter values for the components of the

(SI unit: m/s).
•
For
Normal velocity
enter the value of the
Normal velocity
v
n
(SI unit: m/s) in the normal direction.
In the BEM formulation, interior conditions cannot intersect other (exterior) conditions. It is recommended that this type of model is set up by using FEM in the region around the interior condition and BEM outside of that region.
