Numerical study on sound vibration of an air-reed instrument with compressible LES

Abstract

Acoustic mechanics of air-reed instruments is investigated numerically with compressible Large-eddy simulation (LES). Taking a two dimensional air-reed instrument model, we have succeeded in reproducing sound oscillations excited in the resonator and have studied the characteristic feature of air-reed instruments, i.e., the relation of the sound frequency with the jet velocity described by the semi-empirical theory developed by Cremer & Ising, Coltman and other authors based on experimental results.
