Vh. Gupta et al., A MODIFIED SEGMENTATION APPROACH FOR ANALYZING PLANE-WAVE PROPAGATIONIN NONUNIFORM DUCTS WITH MEAN FLOW, Journal of sound and vibration, 182(5), 1995, pp. 697-707
A numerical approach which involves discretization of the duct into a
series of large number of short ducts called segments has been in vogu
e for analyzing wave propagation in non-uniform ducts of general shape
s. In this paper, an improved segmentation approach for analyzing one-
dimensional wave propagation in varying area ducts carrying a homentro
pic subsonic flow is presented. The results are compared with the anal
ytical, experimental and computational results published elsewhere in
the literature.
