Abstract

This paper presents a variational formulation for the study of the acoustic propagation and radiation of a vibrating membrane coupled to a cavity filled with a visco-thermal fluid. This formulation is obtained by combining a variational formulation by integral equations of both internal and external fluids, which takes account of acoustic and entropic waves coupling, with a classical variational formulation of the membrane. Numerical results obtained by this new formulation are compared to those obtained when the viscous and thermal effects are not considered.
