Sound waves whose geometry is determined by a single dimension, plane waves, obey the wave equation

∂2u∂r2−1c2⋅∂2u∂t2=0

where c designates the speed of sound in the medium. The monochromatic solution for plane waves will be taken to be

u(r,t)=sin(kr±ωt)

where ω is the frequency and k=ω/c is the wave number. The sign chosen in the argument determines the direction of movement of the waves.

Here is a plane wave moving on a three-dimensional lattice of atoms:

Here is a plane wave moving through a three-dimensional random distribution of molecules:

Sound waves whose geometry is determined by two dimensions, cylindrical waves, obey the wave equation

∂2u∂r2+1r⋅∂u∂r−1c2⋅∂2u∂t2=0

The monochromatic solution for cylindrical sound waves will be taken to be

u(r,t)=sin(kr±ωt)r

Sound waves whose geometry is determined by three dimensions, spherical waves, obey the wave equation

∂2u∂r2+2r⋅∂u∂r−1c2⋅∂2u∂t2=0

The monochromatic solution for spherical sound waves will be taken to be

u(r,t)=sin(kr±ωt)r

The mathematical description of sound waves can be carried to higher dimensions, but one needs to wait for Four.js and its higher-dimensional successors to attempt visualizations.
