Abstract:An analytical method is applied to predict the acoustic attenuation performance of expansion chambers with continuously varying cross-sectional area. A feature of the present method is the use of spherical coordinates whose origin is at the top of the cone that is tangent to the wall of the expansion chamber. By this means, the characteristic functions can be analytically determined despite the non-uniform geometry of the expansion chamber. Using the Galerkin method, a variational principle is transformed into… Show more
