Port-Hamiltonian fluid–structure interaction modelling and structure-preserving model order reduction of a classical guitar

Abstract

ABSTRACTA fluid–structure interaction model in a port-Hamiltonian representation is derived for a classical guitar. After discretization, we combine the laws of continuum mechanics for solids and fluids within a unified port-Hamiltonian (pH) modelling approach by adapting the equations through an appropriate coordinate transformation on the second-order level. The high-dimensionality of the resulting system is reduced by model order reduction. The article focuses on pH-systems in different state transformations, a variety of basis generation techniques as well as structure-preserving model order reduction approaches that are independent from the projection basis. As main contribution, a thorough comparison of these method combinations is conducted. In contrast to typical frequency-based simulations in acoustics, transient time simulations of the system are presented. The approach is embedded into a straightforward workflow of sophisticated commercial software modelling and flexible in-house software for multi-physics coupling and model order reduction.
