In the Tuning Fork - Part 3 episode we seen how to setup a weak vibroacoustic coupling problem. We applied an harmonic body force to our tuning fork, and used its displacement field to wake the acoustic field within a coupled volume of air. In this episode we will review the results.

In the Tuning Fork - Part 1 and Tuning Fork - Part 2 we set up and solved an Elmer study for the modes of vibration of a tuning fork. We learned that the principal mode of the fork, the one related to the nominal frequency of the fork, is very marginally affected by boundary conditions affecting the handle of the fork. In this episode we will attempt studying the acoustic field emitted by the fork in the surrounding air. In other words, we will start exploring the coupling of vibration and acoustics.
