3D Calculation with Compressible LES for Sound Vibration of Ocarina
arXiv:0911.3567
Abstract
Sounding mechanism is numerically analyzed to elucidate physical processes in air-reed instruments. As an example, compressible large-eddy simulations (LES) are performed on both two and three dimensional ocarina. Since, among various acoustic instruments, ocarina is known as a combined system consisting of an edge-tone and a Helmholtz resonator, our analysis is mainly devoted to the resonant dynamics in the cavity. We focused on oscillation frequencies when we blow the instruments with various velocities.
