Abstract

The present work delineates the applicability of the boundary-condition-transfer algorithm for analyzing the performance of the acoustic wedge. The theoretical model, based on the plane wave acoustical coupling between two interacting ducts of variable cross-sectional area, outlines the simplicity as well as the usefulness of the current approach. The proposed model assumes bulk reaction and hence a wave propagation in the wedge material. An asymptotic solution using the Peano-Baker series of matrix calculus is derived with the aid of an inherently stable boundary condition transfer (BCT) algorithm. The proposed method is validated extensively against the available literature in order to establish the utility of this elemental approach over its much more complex and time consuming counterparts like FEM and BEM.
