On Webster’s horn equation and some generalizations
نویسنده
چکیده
Sound waves along a rigid axisymmetric tube with a variable cross-section are considered. The governing Helmholtz equation is solved using power-series expansions in a stretched radial coordinate, leading to a hierarchy of one-dimensional ordinary differential equations in the longitudinal direction. The lowest approximation for axisymmetric motion turns out to be Webster’s horn equation. Fourth-order differential equations are obtained at the next level of approximation. Comparisons with existing asymptotic theories for waves in slender tubes are made. © 2004 Acoustical Society of America. @DOI: 10.1121/1.1775272#

When the degree of saturation at intersection approaches one, Webster’s optimum cycle length equation becomes inapplicable, because the cycle length will becomes very big when the degree of saturation approaches one and will be fully unrealistic when the degree of saturation becomes greater than one. This is not a problem for HCM2000 method. But optimum cycle length calculation in this method h...
متن کاملWebster's Horn Equation Revisited
The problem of low-frequency sound propagation in slowly varying ducts is systematically analyzed as a perturbation problem of slow variation. Webster’s horn equation and variants in bent ducts, in ducts with nonuniform soundspeed, and in ducts with irrotational mean flow, with and without lining, are derived, and the entrance/exit plane boundary layer is given. It is shown why a varying lined ...
متن کاملWebster’s equation with curvature and dissipation
Wave propagation in curved tubular domains is considered. A general version of Webster’s equation is derived from the scattering passive wave equation. More precisely, it is shown that planar averages of a sufficiently smooth solution of the wave equation satisfy the corresponding Webster’s equation when the latter includes additional control signals determined by the solution.
متن کاملAcoustic waves in slender axisymmetric tubes
Acoustic waves in a rigid axisymmetric tube with a variable cross-section are considered. The governing Helmholtz equation is solved using Neumann series (expansions in Bessel functions of various orders) with a stretched radial coordinate, leading to a hierarchy of one-dimensional ordinary differential equations in the longitudinal direction. The lowest approximation for axisymmetric motion in...
متن کاملAcoustic wave guides as infinite-dimensional dynamical systems
We prove the unique solvability, passivity/conservativity and some regularity results of two mathematical models for acoustic wave propagation in curved, variable diameter tubular structures of finite length. The first of the models is the generalised Webster’s model that includes dissipation and curvature of the 1D waveguide. The second model is the scattering passive, boundary controlled wave...
