It is a 1-D frequency domain propagation code that can handle various boundary conditions and inputs. The propagation modeling is done using planar 1-D wave equations. An element is a continuous section of the system for which the cross-sectional area, density of the fluid, thermodynamic sound speed, duct's elastic modulus, and wall thickness parameters do not change. It automates the entire theoretical process by writing, internally, the equations for the system. The user only needs to set up four input files for the system and does not have to have a highly technical background in acoustics.
Automation further reduces the risk of mathematical errors and the time it takes to solve a problem.
A coefficient matrix is created so that a solution for any variable is possible. Additional Resources Open Channel Software runs entirely on Open Source Software.
