Solution

Let

ρ^{'}

and

p^{'}

be the density and pressure perturbations and let

u

be the velocity perturbation. The linear acoustics equations about a uniform quiescent state are

ρ_{t}^{'} + ρ_{0} \nabla \cdot u = 0, ρ_{0} u_{t} = - \nabla p^{'}, p^{'} = c_{0}^{2} ρ^{'} .

Taking the scalar product of the momentum equation with

u

gives

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} (\frac{1}{2} ρ_{0} ∣ u ∣^{2}) = - u \cdot \nabla p^{'} = - \nabla \cdot (p^{'} u) + p^{'} \nabla \cdot u .

The continuity and pressure relations imply

p^{'} \nabla \cdot u = - \frac{p ^{'} p _{t}^{'}}{ρ _{0} c _{0}^{2}} = - \frac{\partial}{\partial t} (\frac{p ^{'2}}{2 ρ _{0} c _{0}^{2}}) .

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} (K + W) + \nabla \cdot I = 0,

with

K = \frac{1}{2} ρ_{0} ∣ u ∣^{2}, W = \frac{p ^{'2}}{2 ρ _{0} c _{0}^{2}}, I = p^{'} u .
