Prediction of two-dimensional sound propagation over an arbitrarily-shaped barrier using the boundary element method

2D sound propagation over an arbitrarily-shaped barrier situated on a locally reacting infinite plane in a homogeneous medium is treated utilizing the BEM. The BIE is formulated so that the integral along an infinite homogeneous plane disappears if the half space Green's function is selected to satisfy the boundary condition of this plane. Comparison of the BEM results with test results by Habault and by Kearns shows good agreement of the sound field utilizing the BEM.

Two dimensional sound propagation over a ridge

The sound propagation over an arbitrarily-shaped ridge situated on an infinite plane is treated using the Boundary Element Method, for which the Helmholtz integral equation in two-dimensional half space is formulated. A previously developed computational scheme for the acoustic problem at wave length shorther than the characteristic dimension of the radiator or scatterer is applied to the propagation of relatively low frequency sound over large terrain features. The numerical results using the Boundary Element Method are compared to those using algorithms for the Matched Asymptotic Expansion technique.
