Nowadthis system can be found in the harmonica and the harnium, for example. The accordion reed is a thin metal plriveted at one end to a support plate.

The fluctuating force associated with the periodic mmentum injection can be ignored. Finally, the reedmodeled by a simple mass-spring-damping system. Coquently, a coupled system of three equations~the impedancerelation, the Bernoulli equation and the simple harmoniccillator equation! and three unknown variable@x2(t),q(t),pac(t)# can be written. With the same approacthe influence of the internal acoustic impedance of thesupply system~the player’s lungs, vocal tract and mouth! canbe taken into account.1 Because of the impedance relatiomost calculations are performed in the frequency domain1,2

But the frequency–domain approach is not advantageoustrongly nonlinear equations such as the Bernoulli equatTime–domain solutions6,4 and hybrid methods7 have alsobeen proposed.

For a constant surface of contact between the flowthe reed, the dynamic excitation force is a combinationacoustic pressure and pressure induced by velocity variadue to the variation in the aperture area. The velocinduced pressure fluctuations are found by applying thetionary Bernoulli equation which associates a decrease opressure with an acceleration of the fluid. But, without othphysical mechanisms such as acoustic feedback, thesesure fluctuations cannot induce self-oscillations. Forample, if we suppose a constant volume flow throughreed aperture, it is straightforward to show that the foinduced by fluid velocity variation is in phase with the diplacement. Energy transfer between the constant supply psure and the reed oscillation is not possible if we consionly the stationary Bernoulli equation. Titze8 explained thatan asymmetry of the pressure force during the cycle is nessary for reed excitation. In case of resonator-coupled rethe pressure asymmetry is provided by the acoustic respof upstream and/or downstream volumes. In case of thecordion reed, there is no acoustic feedback. By suppothat the stationary Bernoulli equation well describesaerodynamic flow through the reed aperture, other physmechanisms have been proposed to explain the phase shthe total force with regard to the reed displacement. Forample, a complex evolution of the channel geometry durthe cycle can lead to the asymmetry of the total force. Tapproach is used to model voice production because vfold oscillations are not considered to be driven by tacoustic impedance of lungs and vocal tract. Titze8 used awave motion model to describe the movement of the tissand Pelorsonet al.9 added a second mechanical oscillatorphase delay of the total pressure force is obtained becthe shape variations of the channel are not the same duclosing and opening of the glottis.

The effect of separation and reattachment of the flowthe reed channel has also been studied. Indeed, the flow sration at the inlet of the clarinet reed channel leads to a loacceleration of the flow5 ~vena-contracta effect!. Moreover,the total pressure force can also depend on the possibletachment of the air flow on the reed further in the reed chnel. The vena-contracta factor and the location of the re

tachment point may vary as a function of the reed positand produce a force in phase with the reed velocity. Anample of the modeling of these viscous effects can be foin the study of Pelorsonet al.9 At the outlet of the vocal foldchannel, he studied the movement of the point where theflow separates from the glottis. In this case, the total pressforce fluctuates because the reed surface in contact withunsteady flow fluctuates. Although the consequences offlow separation are qualitatively and quantitatively signcant, it was not shown whether this phenomenon couldduce self-oscillation without the presence of the two-mmodel.

The separation points of the accordion reed flowfixed at the sharp edge of the reed. As shown in Sec. II ofpaper, there is no flow reattachment on the other side ofreed, therefore the surface of the reed immersed in the floconstant. The flow separation/reattachment effects are ncandidate for a possible excitation mechanism of the acdion reed.

If we discard the supposition that the unsteady flow cbe described by the stationary Bernoulli equation, it appethat the energy transfer from the flow to a free reed canobtained by two other physical mechanisms. First, the vorshedding behind a solid obstacle10 induces a periodic forceon the structure. Thanks to their experimental investigatioSaint Hilaireet al.11 concluded that vortex shedding is nresponsible for the excitation of his harmonium reed. Tresult has been also confirmed in a recent study12 for ablown-open reed.

At last, the inertial effect of the upstream flow has beproposed to be the excitation mechanism of free reeds11 inthe absence of acoustic coupling. The verification of tassumption is one of the purposes of the present work.analysis of the flow around the accordion reed~Sec. II!shows that the flow can be modeled as an unsteady potetwo-dimensional flow. In Sec. III, the aerodynamic forcwhich excites the vibration of the reed is calculated underincompressible flow hypothesis. From aerodynamic datamodel for the calculation of the aeroacoustic source basean acoustic analogy is proposed~Sec. IV!. Flow and aeroa-coustic models are solved in the time domain and resultscompared with experimental data~Sec. V!. Since the atten-tion of this paper is turned to the analysis of the exact natof both the excitation force and acoustic source, empirihypotheses or adjustable parameters must not be usedcause of the complexity of flow equations, the calculationanalytical expressions is only possible with a very simplifirepresentation of the accordion reed. Therefore quantitavalues of physical variables are not expected to agree wthe actual ones. Only waveforms and spectra are comparemeasurements.

II. FLUID MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE FLOW

The geometry of the accordion reed is slightly differefrom the reed geometry used by Saint Hilaireet al.11 in theirflow visualizations. The initial distancex0 between the vi-brating reed and the support plate is smaller for the accdion reed than for the Saint Hilaire arrangement.

The reed mountedits supply cavity is immersed in a discharge tank. The heiof the free surface of water in the discharge tank is matained constant thanks to an overflow pipe. The water wsupplied to the reed cavity through a narrow flexible tufrom a large supply tank. The average supply pressure ofreed ~the difference between the upstream and the dostream pressures! was simply set by varying the distancbetween the free surfaces of water of the supply andcharge tanks. A honeycomb flow straightener ensureseven upstream flow. This system is visible in the backgrouof the photography given later in Fig. 4. Visualization of thflow field was accomplished by the injection, via a capillatube, of a dye stream at various locations upstream ofreed.

For a supply pressure ofP052000 Pa, self-sustained oscillations of the reed can be observed. The mean velocitVof the flow through the reed gaps can be evaluated usingstationary Bernoulli equation. The Reynolds number baon the reed widthh is about Reh5Vh/n'6000 wheren is thekinematic viscosity of water. For self-sustained oscillatioin air at normal playing pressure, the Reynolds number offlow is slightly inferior to that observed in water but has tsame order of magnitude. Thus, we can suppose thatexcitation mechanism and the flow characteristics in waare the same as that in air flow. The frequency of reed oslation under water flow is 142 Hz. The stroboscopic imagthat are not reported here clearly show that the reed oscillon the first mode of the cantilever beam. The great differebetween the oscillation frequency and the natural frequeof the reed in air is a consequence of the added mass eof water ~see Sec. III C!.

that it is consistent to model the upstream flow by potensinks. Moreover, for injection points far enough from thegap, streamlines lie in planesx35constant, wherexi is thecoordinate along the axeei ~see Fig. 1!. Thus, the flow up-stream of the reed seems to be two-dimensional. Thissumption is used in the proposed flow model to describenear-field potential flow. The outflow is turbulent. In photgraphs, we see the mixing and the diffusion of the dyedownstream of the reed. However, the characteristic sizethe turbulent structures are small compared to the reed wh. There are no large coherent vortices that could have bresponsible for the reed excitation. Because of the very smgap sizes compared to the reed width and to the thicknesthe support plate, the downstream flow does not havecharacteristics of a wake.

The addmass effect is reduced in comparison with the first confiration because only one side of the reed is immersed inter. Thus, it is not surprising to find a vibration frequency206 Hz that is superior to that obtained when the upstreand downstream fluid is water. The flow view of Fig.shows that the downstream flow can be considered as pjets, which do not interact with the downstream side ofreed. Even though this configuration is unrealistic, it is intesting because it definitively shows that the downstream fldoes not take part in the reed oscillation mechanism.

In this analysis, the invistwo-dimensional flow is described in a section perpendicuto the length of the reed~planex35constant). This section issupposed to be far enough from the tip of the reed to avthree-dimensional effects. Using the superposition propeof potential flows,13 the total flow could be found by thesummation of the identical potential flows created by the tlateral gaps drawn in Fig. 5. However, in order to obtain tmost simple mathematical expressions, it is reasonablesuppose that the physics of reed excitation can be descrconsidering simply one-gap flow.

The expressions of adimensional parametersA1(t),A2(t) andA3(t) are given in Appendix B. The first term othe right hand side of Eq.~8! is the classical so-called Bernoulli force in quasi-stationary modeling. In this term,A1(t)is the parameter that represents the pressure fluctuationsociated with volume flux fluctuations due to the reed apture variations. This kind of time-dependent contraction prameter is found in all oscillating reed models.1,5,2,4 It isinteresting to note that the force fluctuations induced bycontraction effect are not responsible for the reed excitamechanism. Indeed, it is possible to show from mathematexpressions given in Appendix B that at the first ordA1(t), is proportional toe2(t). Therefore the force assocated with the aperture variation is in phase with the redisplacement: it does not transfer energy to the reed mot

The Bernoulli force also depends onV2(t). These ve-locity fluctuations, given by Eq.~5!, are generated by theinertial loading of the upstream fluid.

C. Reed motion and reciprocal flow

It has been previously shown that the motion of a frreed14,15 is almost perfectly sinusoidal. Laser vibrometer sytem measurements that are not reported here have alsomade on our accordion reeds and the results are consiwith the previous observations. Thus the reed can be meled by a mass-spring-damping single oscillator system.reed motion leads to a reciprocal fluid current that isdependent on the main unsteady flow. The contribution ofreed surface vibration to the total pressure can be stuusing the radiation impedance of a baffled rectangular pisZm(v)5F2(v)/u(v), whereu(v) is the normal velocity ofthe reed andF2(v) is the reaction force of the fluid back othe driving piston for an angular frequencyv. For v l /c0

!1, wherec0 is the speed of sound, the largest term inZm isits imaginary part, the reactance. Morse and Ingard16 calcu-lated the expression of the reactance of a baffled rectangpiston for one of its faces,

This forceF2 is in an opposite phase with the reed aceleration and it describes that the fluid entrained byreed side has an apparent mass ofmf . Consequently, theeffective fluid mass 2mf must be added to the acceleratreed massm in the two-dimensional reed motion equation

wherec andk are the equivalent damping and stiffness of treed. The added mass causes a decrease of the naturaquency of the reed. In air, this effect is very small but inheavier fluid such as water the difference between the intsic natural frequency and the measured natural frequencybe very large. The reed oscillator coefficients have beentermined by a classical experimental procedure basedstatic stiffness evaluation and free decay behavior. Thmeasurements are not detailed in this paper. The oscillmass is determined from the measurement of the naturalquency of the reed in air. The experimental effective mthen includes both the intrinsic massm and the added masof air 2mf . In fact, the study of the reed-induced reciprocflow is only useful for the estimation of the near-field resuant pressure that is added to the aerodynamic pressureP1(t)for comparisons with experimental data~Sec.

A fourthorder Runge–Kutta algorithm is used for the numerical stem solving. The nonconstant coefficients of the differensystem are updated at each step of the Runge–Kutta prdure.

IV. AEROACOUSTIC MODEL

As for other wind instruments, the sound producedthe accordion is a consequence of the unsteady flow throthe reed apertures. But unlike resonator-coupled instrumewe cannot deduce the sound from the analysis of the restor response to the inlet unsteady flux. For the accordreed, we can consider that the fluctuating fluid flow actsrectly as a source of sound on the free acoustic mediTherefore we neglect in the model all contributions of refletion or diffraction of acoustic waves on the neighboring sowalls.

A. Lighthill’s acoustic analogy

The problem of sound production by flow was first ivestigated by Lighthill17 in 1952. His theory is based on thcomparison between the exact equations of fluid motion wthe equations of sound propagation in a medium at rest.mass and momentum conservation equations are rewritteform the most general inhomogeneous wave equation,

Forhigh Reynolds, low Mach number flows and in the absenof thermal sources the Lighthill stress tensor canreduced17 to Ti j 'r0uiuj . With this simplification, thesource term of Eq.~12! expresses the variation of the ratemomentum flux which is induced by turbulent processThe upstream sink flow is not turbulent and, arguing thatupstream and downstream acoustic waves are the samwith an opposite sign, it becomes evident that the turbulsources are not important in the generation of an accordreed sound for both the blowing and drawing notes. Hoever, the physics of aeroacoustic sources can only belyzed by using the mathematical expressions of theacoustic field. The far-field acoustic pressure is calculausing the convolution product of Lighthill’s source with thfree-space Green’s function. In this case, the spatial dertives of Lighthill’s tensor with respect to the source positimust be rewritten in terms of derivatives with respect toobserver’s position. By a careful mathematical analysis18,19

of the bounded volume integration of Lighthill’s tensor, maand momentum sources appear as residual terms ofLighthill tensor flux through the surface that bounds the vume. These monopole and dipole terms on the surface adthe quadrupole source generated by turbulence in the covolume. This analysis was first proposed by Curle,18 and

Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings20 gave a rigorous mathematical framework in order to take into account solidfictitious ~permeable! control surfaces and moving solid bodies.

B. Application of the permeable FfowcsWilliams–Hawkings integral method

The Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings~FW–H! integralmethod20 was first used for the calculation of noise generaboth by turbulence and moving impenetrable surfaces,recently the FW–H equation has been validated as an igral formulation with permeable surfaces.21,22

The derivation of the FW–H formulation is based on tmathematical technique of generalized functions. A geneized function is formed with the aid of Heavisides’s functioH( f ) defined to be unity wheref .0 and zero wheref ,0.The equationf 50 defines the control surfaceS.

The Navier–Stokes equations are written for the genalized densityH( f )r8, momentumH( f )rui , and pressureH( f )p8. As for Lighthill’s equation~12!, an inhomogeneouswave equation can be expressed from the mass and motum conservation equations. Details of the derivation ofFW–H equation from conservation laws are given by Brener and Farassat.23 For a nonmoving permeable surface, tinhomogeneous wave equation is

Generally, the control surfaceS is supposed to enclosall the volume sources described by Lighthill’s tensorTi j .Then, Ti j H( f )50 for f >0. Moreover, as the free-fieldGreen’s function is used for the calculation of the far-fieacoustic pressure, all the possible flow/acoustic interactand acoustic wave reflections on solid walls must be tainto account as flow variables on the control surface. Bcause of our incompressible approach, all these effectsneglected in the source terms. Finally, neglecting the viscstress tensor in the second term of the right hand side ofFW–H equation, we see that the acoustic sources candivided into a monopoleQ and a dipoleFi that are calculatedon the permeable control surface,

V. EXPERIMENTS AND MODEL VALIDATION

A. Experimental study in air

The experimental setup for air measurements is simto that used for water visualizations~Fig. 2!. The water sup-ply tank is replaced by a low-impedance pressure sourceinsures a constant blowing pressure inside the reservoprobe microphone measures the aerodynamic pressurefew millimeters from the upstream face of the reed. A vaable capacitance transducer is used for the motion ofreed. This transducer is based on a condenser microphthe membrane of which is electrically replaced by the reedwater manometer measures the average supply pressura microphone captures the radiated sound. This microphis located at 25 cm downstream of the reed.

In Fig. 7, displacement, aerodynamic pressure aacoustic pressure are represented for a reed with a nafrequency of f 05795 Hz. The characteristic dimensionsthe valve arel 522.9 mm,h52.5 mm, a50.14 mm, andx0

50.2 mm. The supply pressure isP0540 Pa. As expectedwe see in Fig. 7~a! that the reed motion is composedsinusoidal oscillations around a displaced equilibrium potion. We note that for low playing pressure, the steady dplacement of the reed is small and we can consider thatequilibrium position is aboutx0 . Figure 7~b! shows a sharpaerodynamic pressure spike at the moment when theenters the slot. Since the equilibrium position is not sofrom the planex250, the force induced by this strong presure variation is nearly in phase with the reed velocity. Thit provides energy to the oscillator. Similarly at the reopening, a negative pressure variation occurs but it isviolent. The downstream acoustic signal shown in Fig. 7~c!

B. Application of the model

For the calculation, the model variables are initializedzero and the reed position is set tox0 . The differential equa-tion system, Eqs.~5! and~10!, is solved using Eq.~8! for theexcitation force. After the transient, self-sustained sinusooscillations are observed at the natural frequency of the r@see Fig. 9~a!#. Using the computed fluid variablesq(t) andV(t), the aerodynamic pressure at point C of Fig. 6 is coputed from the Bernoulli equation~3! with the complete ex-pression of the potential derivative, Eq.~A3!. For a compari-son with the probe microphone signal, the contributionP2(t)of the reciprocal flow is added to this aerodynamic excitatpressure. The total signal is plotted in Fig. 9~b!. The agree-ment with the measured waveform is good.

Since the downstream flow model is very simplifiecompared to the actual development of turbulent spreadjets, the acoustic pressure is calculated in the upstreamgion. The symmetry property of the produced sound is uto compare the calculated signal to the acoustic measuremperformed in the downstream region. The modeled acoupressure is the external acoustic pressure that would be msured if the reed oscillated in its sucking configuration. Tfluid variables calculated on the control surfaceS defined inFig. 6 are introduced in the integral equation~17!. The resultis plotted in Fig. 9~c!.

Moreover, it is shown in Fig. 10 that todd harmonics of the modeled sound spectrum are mpowerful than the even ones, which is a characteristic ofaccordion reed sound.

C. Analysis of the aerodynamic excitation

From the previous comparisons, we can suppose thaphysics of both reed excitation and acoustic emissionwell reproduced by the model. The calculation results canused to highlight some details of the physical mechanism

For example, Fig. 11 shows the components of the adynamic pressure forceF1(t) associated with the Bernoulforce @the first term of Eq.~8!# and inertial force@second andthird terms of Eq.~8!#. This figure clearly demonstrates ththe inertial force is a negligible part of the total force.most reed models,1,5,2,4 inertial forces are neglected. Thsimplification can also be done for the accordion reed moand from Eq.~8!, the average excitation pressure on the ustream face of the reed is now

This relation looks like an impedance relation giving tpressure as a function of the volume flux. In this case,impedance is inertial. The value of the equivalent ‘‘acoustinertia M (t)5r0K0(t)„12A1(t)… is time-dependent.

Unlike traditional theoretical approaches of oscillatinvalves1 based on acoustic impedances of upstreamdownstream volumes, Eq.~20! is related to the impedance othe orifice. M (t) can be interpreted as the mass ecorrection16 of the upstream side of the gap. The mass ecorrection depends on the detailed form of the potential fland gap geometry. Thus, the time dependence ofM (t) is dueto the variation of gap size. In particular,K0(t) is related tothe total quantity of fluid that takes part in the inertial mechnism. For the calculation presented in this paper, the avevalue of the parameterK0 is 4.5. This corresponds to a verlarge distance of the reference pointB where the pressure isupposed to be constant and the fluid velocity is zero. Tchoice of pointB is arbitrary but first applications of theaerodynamic model show that the influence ofK0 on theresult becomes small above a certain value that dependdimensions and characteristics of the simulated reed.

D. Analysis of the sound production

In addition, the presented model allows us to analyzemechanism of sound production. The monopole and dipsources of Eq.~17! are represented in Fig. 12. It appeaimmediately that the sound of the reed is dominated bydipolar component. This observation is in opposition to tphysics of the reed coupled to a resonator. Indeed, as mtioned in the Introduction, the acoustic source exciting thecolumn of the resonator is modeled as the variation ofvolume flux through the reed gaps. In the case of a free rethe monopolar source associated with unsteady volumeat the orifice is negligible, the acoustic waves are excitedthe violent changes of momentum flux through the orifice

model is associated with the inertial load of the upstrefluid. The delay in the variation of upstream fluid velocidue to the inertia leads to a velocity fluctuation in the reopening. Unlike for resonator-coupled reeds, the pressuvelocity relationship is not driven by the impedance of ustream and downstream volumes but by an equivalent itial impedance of the gaps. One of the difficulties arises frthe time-dependence of the orifice geometry which leadstime-dependent mass inertia.

This work also provides the first model of the sourcesound generated by a free reed in the absence of a resonDespite the numerous simplifications made in the calcution, the qualitative agreement of the synthesized pressignal with the measured one in terms of waveform and sptrum is quite good. The model is based on the applicationan acoustic analogy that allows the derivation of the acoupressure in the far-field as a function of the aerodynavariables known in the source region. In our case, the actic source is calculated in the time domain but it is apossible to perform the calculation in the frequency doma
