3D Acoustics with symmetry plane

a_habib · January 29, 2016, 10:49

Hello Foamers,
I'm planning to use the symmetry plane boundary condition to minimise my domain, let's say it's a 3D domain with a cylinder and the symmetry plane cuts this cylinder in the mid length of its span.
Now in curle setting. do I need to make any special setting?
If I simulated the sound from this half length object, is there any scientific way to take the other half into account, i.e some correction factors.
thanks for your help in advance.

If you use libAcoustics Curle, you can set lRef = 0.5, so whole aerodymanic force will be doubled and then p' will be calculated.

Thanks Ilya,
Actually this is what came to my mind, but I needed an expert opinion.

Look into the Curle.C code

I did Ilya, before posting my thread, that's why I said what I said.

Is it the same for FWH? I could not find it in the code.
