We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, that was the post that i referred to. I have tried to replicate that simulation but i cannot reproduce the results. Can you provide some information regarding that particular model?

I have made a 10 m long water "duct" with 0.2x0.2 m2 cross section area using Fluid220 elements, a pressure pulse is applied on one end, a radiation boundary is applied at the other end. I am comparing the regular Water liquid material with 1.003e-09 MPa*s visc to an adjusted Water liquid with 0.001 MPa*s visc, but the acoustic pressure at the radation boundary is the same. 

My specific case involves a much slower pulses at 10-20 Hz, at a wave speed of 300 m/s. I want to benchmark my calculation against an analytical simulation that we have, the analytical simulation uses a specified damping ratio and i think this visc parameter could be a good parameter to work with.
