The dents break the symmetry in y, so the full modal basis is used: 200 and 400 modes at 8 mm, 400 and 600 at 4 mm. The 8 mm cells barely resolve the dents and stiffen the high modes spuriously (the 400-mode basis reaches 24 kHz at 8 mm against 13.5 kHz at 4 mm), so the 8 mm members should be read as coarse. The hole is closed (a stated approximation); the bell flank exceeds the shallow-shell range; the staircase boundary makes the radiated ring converge only at first order; and the response is chaotic beyond about 0.15 s, so errors between any two solutions have a floor of roughly 0.6 (waveform) and 0.5 (spectrogram).", "code_url": "https://vault1.magland.org/challenges/cymbal-solutions/blob/main/solvers/vonkarman-modal-disk/vk_modal_disk.py", "viz_url": "https://vault1.magland.org/challenges/cymbal-solutions/site/", "solutions": [ { "solution_id": "vk-g8-w200-a200-m2", "output": "vonkarman-modal/vk-g8-w200-a200-m2.wav", "method": "Marguerre shallow shell (Airy form) on a Cartesian grid masked to the disk, modal method on shell modes built from Bogner-Fox-Schmit plate modes, Gautschi-type integrator exact in the linear part, retarded Rayleigh-type integral with cubic fractional delays", "parameters": { "grid_spacing_m": 0.008, "cells": 2024, "n_dof": 8500, "transverse_modes": 200, "basis_even_in_y": false, "airy_modes": 200, "oversampling": 2, "dt_s": 1.0416666666666666e-05, "highest_transverse_mode_hz": 12082.2 }, "timing_seconds": 73.17, "more_accurate_than": [], "hardware": "Intel(R) Xeon(R) w5-3435X (32 threads), numpy/scipy for the setup; coupling tensor and time stepping on NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation (PyTorch 2.14.0+cu130)" }, { "solution_id": "vk-g8-w400-a400-m2", "output": "vonkarman-modal/vk-g8-w400-a400-m2.wav", "method": "Marguerre shallow shell (Airy form) on a Cartesian grid masked to the disk, modal method on shell modes built from Bogner-Fox-Schmit plate modes, Gautschi-type integrator exact in the linear part, retarded Rayleigh-type integral with cubic fractional delays", "parameters": { "grid_spacing_m": 0.008, "cells": 2024, "n_dof": 8500, "transverse_modes": 400, "basis_even_in_y": false, "airy_modes": 400, "oversampling": 2, "dt_s": 1.0416666666666666e-05, "highest_transverse_mode_hz": 23854.7 }, "timing_seconds": 399.012, "more_accurate_than": [ "vk-g8-w200-a200-m2" ], "hardware": "Intel(R) Xeon(R) w5-3435X (32 threads), numpy/scipy for the setup; coupling tensor and time stepping on NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation (PyTorch 2.14.0+cu130)" }, { "solution_id": "vk-g4-w400-a400-m2", "output": "vonkarman-modal/vk-g4-w400-a400-m2.wav", "method": "Marguerre shallow shell (Airy form) on a Cartesian grid masked to the disk, modal method on shell modes built from Bogner-Fox-Schmit plate modes, Gautschi-type integrator exact in the linear part, retarded Rayleigh-type integral with cubic fractional delays", "parameters": { "grid_spacing_m": 0.004, "cells": 8112, "n_dof": 33268, "transverse_modes": 400, "basis_even_in_y": false, "airy_modes": 400, "oversampling": 2, "dt_s": 1.0416666666666666e-05, "highest_transverse_mode_hz": 13492.4 }, "timing_seconds": 481.535, "more_accurate_than": [ "vk-g8-w400-a400-m2" ], "hardware": "Intel(R) Xeon(R) w5-3435X (32 threads), numpy/scipy for the setup; coupling tensor and time stepping on NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation (PyTorch 2.14.0+cu130)" }, { "solution_id": "vk-g4-w600-a600-m2", "output": "vonkarman-modal/vk-g4-w600-a600-m2.wav", "method": "Marguerre shallow shell (Airy form) on a Cartesian grid masked to the disk, modal method on shell modes built from Bogner-Fox-Schmit plate modes, Gautschi-type integrator exact in the linear part, retarded Rayleigh-type integral with cubic fractional delays", "parameters": { "grid_spacing_m": 0.004, "cells": 8112, "n_dof": 33268, "transverse_modes": 600, "basis_even_in_y": false, "airy_modes": 600, "oversampling": 2, "dt_s": 1.0416666666666666e-05, "highest_transverse_mode_hz": 18458.4 }, "timing_seconds": 1366.943, "more_accurate_than": [ "vk-g4-w400-a400-m2" ], "hardware": "Intel(R) Xeon(R) w5-3435X (32 threads), numpy/scipy for the setup; coupling tensor and time stepping on NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation (PyTorch 2.14.0+cu130)", "fields": { "path": "vonkarman-modal/vk-g4-w600-a600-m2.h5", "format": "hdf5" } } ] }
