Abstract

A combined technique is presented to evaluate the acoustic attenuation performance of splitter silencers. A large silencer can be divided into several substructures for analysis purposes. The boundary element method (BEM) and the numerical point collocation approach (NPCA) are employed respectively to calculate the impedance matrices of the substructures. Due to the existence of higher-order modes at the inlet and outlet, the resultant impedance matrix of the whole silencer is converted into the scattering matrix for transmission loss (TL) calculation. The combined technique is verified by comparing to existing numerical and experimental results.
