Abstract

In this paper the benchmark problem of radiation from a semi infinite duct is discussed. The duct is modeled by an infinitesimal thin wall. Comparisons are made between the analytic solutions of R. M. Munt and the 2nd CAAWorkshop with our CAA-code. In all cases a 3D axisymmetric approach is chosen to describe the propagation of a single mode. The procedure consists of two steps. Step 1 concerns a numerical simulation of the near-field-region. Step 2 calculates the farfield-solution by means of the acoustic-analogy of FfowcsWilliams and Hawkings. Since the wall is of infinitesimal thickness, the edge needs to be treated in a special way. Two different approaches are persecuted and the results are compared. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
