Impedance-To-Scattering Matrix Method For Large Silencer Analysis, Peng Wang
Theses and Dissertations--Mechanical Engineering
Large silencers used in the power generation industry usually have a very large cross section at the inlet and outlet. Higher-order modes will populate the inlet and outlet even at very low frequencies. Although the silencer itself is often modeled by a three-dimensional analysis tool such as the boundary element method (BEM) or finite element method (FEM), a direct computation of the transmission loss (TL) from the BEM or FEM model can be challenging without incorporating certain forms of modal expansion.
A so-called “impedance-to-scattering matrix method” is proposed to extract the modes at the inlet and outlet from the BEM …
