Collocation for an integral equation arising in duct acoustics

A mathematical model is developed to describe the effect of aircraft-engine inlet geometry on the reflected and radiated acoustic field without flow, as studied experimentally using a spinning-mode synthesizer by Silcox (1983). The acoustic pressure in the inlet interior and exterior is modeled by a pure cylindrical azimuthal mode for the Helmholtz equation with hardwall boundary and by the Helmholtz equation and the radiation condition at infinity, respectively. The analytical approach to the solution of the resulting boundary-value problem and the program implementation are explained; numerical results are presented in tables and graphs; and the uniqueness of the problem is demonstrated.

A noise source identification technique using an inverse Helmholtz integral equation method

A technique is developed which utilizes numerical models and field pressure information to characterize acoustic fields and identify acoustic sources. The numerical models are based on boundary element numerical procedures. Either pressure, velocity, or passive boundary conditions, in the form of impedance boundary conditions, may be imposed on the numerical model. Alternatively, if no boundary information is known, a boundary condition can be left unspecified. Field pressure data may be specified to overdetermine the numerical problem. The problem is solved numerically for the complete sound field from which the acoustic sources may be determined. The model can then be used to idenfify acoustic intensity paths in the field. The solution can be modified and the model used to evaluate design alternatives. In this investigation the method is tested analytically and verified. In addition, the sensitivity of the method to random and bias error in the input data is demonstrated.

I-BIEM, an iterative boundary integral equation method for computer solutions of current distribution problems with complex boundaries: A new algorithm. I - Theoretical

A new algorithm for an iterative computation of solutions of Laplace's or Poisson's equations in two dimensions, using Green's second identity, is presented. This algorithm converges strongly and geometrically and can be applied to curved, irregular, or moving boundaries with nonlinear and/or discontinuous boundary conditions. It has been implemented in Pascal on a number of micro- and minicomputers and applied to several geometries. Cases with known analytic solutions have been tested. Convergence to within 0.1 percent to 0.01 percent of the theoretical values are obtained in a few minutes on a microcomputer.
