An improved multimodal approach for non-uniform acoustic waveguides

Résumé

This paper explores from the point of view of numerical analysis a method for solving the acoustic time-harmonic wave equation in a locally non-uniform 2D waveguide. The multimodal method is based on a spectral description of the acoustic field in each transverse section of the guide, using Fourier-like series. In the case of sound-hard boundaries, the weak point of the method lies in the poor convergence of such series due to a poor approximation of the field near the boundaries. A remedy was proposed by Athanassoulis & Belibassakis (1999, J. Fluid Mech., 389, 275-301), where the convergence is improved thanks to the use of enhanced series. The present paper proposes a theoretical analysis of their idea and studies further improvements. For a general model which includes different kinds of non-uniformity (varying cross section, bend and inhomogeneous medium), a hybrid spectral/variational formulation is introduced. Error estimates are provided for a semi-discretized problem which concerns the effect of spectral truncation. These estimates are confirmed by numerical results. © The Author 2008.
