Scattering of a fluid-structure coupled wave at a flanged junction between two flexible waveguides

Abstract:
The scattering of a fluid-structure coupled wave at a flanged junction between two flexible waveguides is investigated. The flange is assumed to be rigid on one side and soft on the other; this enables a solution to be formulated using mode-matching. It is shown that both the choice of the edge conditions imposed on the plates at the junction and the choice of incident forcing significantly affect the transmission of energy along the duct. In particular, the edge conditions crucially affect the transmission of structure-borne vibration but have little effect on fluid-borne noise. Given the singular nature of the velocity field at the flange tip, particular attention is paid to the validity of the mode-matching method. It is demonstrated that the velocity field can be accurately reconstructed by incorporating the Lanczos filter into the truncated modal expansions. The mode-matching method is thus confirmed as an viable tool for this class of problem.
