Numerical Simulation of Acoustic Wave Propagating in a Spherical Object Filled with Insulating Oil

Abstract

Results of a numerical simulation of an acoustic wave that propagates in a spherical object filled with insulating oil are presented in the paper. The sinusoidal acoustic wave is generated by an electro-acoustic transducer mounted in the middle of the object. Presented results depict acoustic pressure distribution within the transient and the steady states in a two-dimensional object. Furthermore, comparison of short time simulations adapting different mesh element size is presented.
