Is there a publication on the speed of sound assuming heat conduction is taken into account?

Is there a publication (possibly a very old one, as the topic is no longer of interest) in which the frequency dependence of the speed of sound is derived assuming heat conduction rather than purely ...

Except for COMSOL Multiphysics, what is the dedicated simulation tool (free version) that can simulate arrayed acoustics?

Using units and horns, we now have individual replicas. I'm trying to calculate the sound pressure level by arranging hundreds of these in a simulation 1m in front, but when I do it with COMSOL ...

Where can I learn about the reflection/refraction of sound waves and acoustic impedance in a way similar to quantum tunnelling? [duplicate]

I have learnt about the reflection and transmission of a particle at a potential barrier in quantum mechanics. I vaguely remember there is something similar in acoustics - things such as acoustic ...

Which book would you recommend for a dummy wanting to start studying acoustics, out of interest?

I've been very into acoustics lately, specifically the harmonic series. I find it fascinating how the harmonic series works as a sort of guideline to harmony, and how we base tuning systems on trying ...

How to acoustically model an irregular woodwind instrument (such as this specific case)?

I'll explain what I mean by "irregular". Most woodwinds simply have a mouthpiece at one end where the sound enters, and another end where the sound leaves, while tone holes along the instrument shape ...
