Abstract

In this talk the numerical simulation of the sound spectrum and the propagation of the acoustic noise inside and around a three-dimensional recorder model is presented. The fluid inside and close to the recorder is meshed by Lagrangian tetrahedral finite elements. Complex conjugated Astley-Leis infinite elements are used to obtain results in the far field of the recorder. When playing a recorder, the air column inside the instrument starts to oscillate due to the inserted air flow. The musician is able to influence the frequency of a note by varying the blowing pressure and therewith a fine-tuning of the sound is possible. The sound propagation in fluids with a non-uniform flow can be described by the Galbrun equation. We present the influence of the flow on the eigenfrequencies. Furthermore, it is possible to represent the excitation mechanism for a sound propagation inside and around the recorder with quadrupole sources, which occur in the surroundings of the labium. The numerical results are compared to measurements on the recorder. Copyright
