The Normal Displacement condition adds an acceleration source at a boundary. See the
Normal Displacement in the
The Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain Interface.
Note that the Normal Displacement condition contributes with the
Wall feature. It specifically inherits the defined
Mechanical condition (
No slip or
Slip (perfect)) and
Thermal condition (
Isothermal or
Adiabatic) from the
Wall feature. For specific combinations of mechanical and thermal conditions with the source, add a separate
Wall feature on the source boundary. When
No slip is used together with the source, the formulation — used in the SLNS formulation for thermoviscous acoustics — can result in a solution that looks unphysical near the moving wall. However, these artifacts are only local effects that do not influence the overall results.
