A major issue in predicting and controlling (via design) absorption properties of rigid porous media is the determination of the frequency-dependent effective density and compressibility tensors. Unlike previous research efforts which employ in-house and, oftentimes, multiple numerical procedures for determining these two essential tensors, we formulate their solution in terms of a set of micro-scale governing equations (and associated boundary conditions) resulting from a multi-scale asymptotic analysis.

Incorporating the equations directly into COMSOL Multiphysics allows for arbitrary 3D model generation, unit cell meshing, and ultimate analysis using a single software package. We demonstrate the validity of this approach by comparing our numerical results with those published in the literature.
