Acoustic Standing Wave Simulator

Visualize acoustic standing waves and mode shapes in closed, open, and half-open tubes with real-time animation. Adjust tube length, temperature, and boundary conditions to intuitively understand natural frequencies and sound pressure distribution.

$$f_n = \frac{n \cdot c}{2L}, \quad c = 331.3\sqrt{\frac{T}{273.15}} \text{ [m/s]}$$

Closed / Open Tube (Equivalent)

$$f_n = \frac{n \cdot c}{2L}, \quad n = 1,2,3,\ldots$$

Closed tube: pressure antinodes at both ends. Open tube: pressure nodes at both ends. Mode shapes differ.

Half-Open Tube (One Open, One Closed)

$$f_n = \frac{(2n-1) \cdot c}{4L}, \quad n = 1,2,3,\ldots$$

Only odd harmonics exist. The 2nd harmonic (one octave up) is absent.

Temperature Dependence of Sound Speed

$$c = 331.3\sqrt{\frac{T[\text{K}]}{273.15}} \approx 331.3 + 0.607 \cdot t[\text{°C}]$$

Higher temperatures increase sound speed, raising resonance frequencies.

3D Room Modes

$$f_{n,m,l} = \frac{c}{2}\sqrt{\left(\frac{n}{L}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{m}{W}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{l}{H}\right)^2}$$

Three types: axial (1 axis), tangential (2 axes), and oblique (3 axes) modes.
