Translation of transient acoustic fields

Abstract

A method is presented for the translation of acoustic field data from a source to a target region. Field data are represented as spherical harmonic expansions on spheres surrounding the source and target regions respectively and expansions are translated using a ``point and shoot'' method using the Kirchhoff--Helmholtz integral to carry out an axial translation from one sphere to the other. The principal motivation for the method is its use in a time-domain Fast Multipole Method, and test cases reflective of this application are presented. The method converges to six digits for appropriate values of parameters and for the values of N considered here computational effort scales approximately as N2 where N is the order of spherical harmonic expansion for the field data. The method is causal and thus avoids artifacts generated in methods which are not based on intrinsically causal formulations.

AB  - A method is presented for the translation of acoustic field data from a source to a target region. Field data are represented as spherical harmonic expansions on spheres surrounding the source and target regions respectively and expansions are translated using a ``point and shoot'' method using the Kirchhoff--Helmholtz integral to carry out an axial translation from one sphere to the other. The principal motivation for the method is its use in a time-domain Fast Multipole Method, and test cases reflective of this application are presented. The method converges to six digits for appropriate values of parameters and for the values of N considered here computational effort scales approximately as N^2 where N is the order of spherical harmonic expansion for the field data. The method is causal and thus avoids artifacts generated in methods which are not based on intrinsically causal formulations.
