Abstract :
We present Helmholtz or Helmholtz like equations for the approximation of the time-harmonic wave propagation in gases with small viscosity, which are completed with local boundary conditions on rigid walls. We derived approximative models based on the method of multiple scales for the pressure and the velocity separately, both up to order 2. Approximations to the pressure are described by the Helmholtz equations with impedance boundary conditions, which relate its normal derivative to the pressure itself. The boundary conditions from first order on are of Wentzell type and include a second tangential derivative of the pressure proportional to the square root of the viscosity, and take thereby absorption inside the viscosity boundary layer of the underlying velocity into account.
The velocity approximations are described by Helmholtz like equations for the velocity, where the Laplace operator is replaced by $\nabla \Div$, and the local boundary conditions relate the normal velocity component to its divergence. The velocity approximations are for the so-called far field and do not exhibit a boundary layer. Including a boundary corrector, the so called near field, the velocity approximation is accurate even up to the domain boundary.
The boundary conditions are stable and asymptotically exact, which is justified by a complete mathematical analysis. The results of some numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the theoretical foundation.
