Shape Optimization of an Acoustic Demultiplexer

Application ID: 71971


This model shows how shape optimization can be used to design an acoustic demultiplexer. A demultiplexer is a data distributing device, in this case it will distribute acoustic energy. The geometry consists of a circular domain with one input port and two output ports. The domain has the structure of a sonic crystal, it has 19 circular cavities which are deformed such that the energy goes to one output port for one frequency band and to another output port for another frequency band.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
