Comments

PAABSF is referenced by a CAABSF entry only.
If only one grid point is specified on the CAABSF entry, the impedance $Z (f) = Z_{R} + i Z_{i}$ $Z (f) = Z_{R} + i Z_{i}$ is the total impedance at the point. If two grids are specified, then the impedance is the impedance per unit length. If three or four points are specified, then the impedance is the impedance per unit area. $Z_{R} (f) = T Z R E I D (f) + B$ $Z_{R} (f) = T Z R E I D (f) + B$ and $Z i (f) = T Z I M I D (f) = K / (ω)$ $Z i (f) = T Z I M I D (f) = K / (ω)$ .
The resistance represents a damper quantity B. The reactance represents a quantity of the type $(ω M - K / ω)$ $(ω M - K / ω)$ . The impedance is defined as:
(1)
$Z = p / u$ $Z = p / u$

Where,

$p$ $p$

Pressure

$u$ $u$

Velocity
The impedance scale factor S is used in computing element stiffness and damping terms as:(2)
$\begin{array}{l} k = \frac{A}{S} \frac{2 π f Z_{i} (f)}{S_{R}^{2} + Z_{i}^{2}} \int (of shape functions) \\ b = \frac{A}{S} \frac{2 π f Z_{R} (f)}{Z_{R}^{2} + Z_{i}^{2}} \int (of shape functions) \end{array}$
To create a non-reflecting boundary, set the values of the TABLEDi entry referenced by the TZREID field (Resistance-real part of Impedance) to be equal to ( $(ρ_{f l u i d}) * (c_{f l u i d})$ for all frequencies. This will allow the acoustic wave to propagate normally through the boundary, without reflection. This condition is called the Sommerfeld boundary condition.
Where,

$ρ_{f l u i d}$
