This book presents a three-dimensional analysis of acoustic wave propagation in an elliptical waveguide, and applies the equations and concepts to design axially short elliptical end-chamber muffler configurations which are an important component of a complex multi-pass muffler used in a modern-day automotive exhaust system. A general solution of the Helmholtz equation in elliptical cylindrical co-ordinates is presented in terms of the Mathieu and modified Mathieu modal functions. This is followed by the tabulation and analysis, for the first time, of the non-dimensional resonance frequencies of the transverse modes of a rigid-wall elliptical waveguide for a complete range of aspect ratio. The modal shape patterns of the first few circumferential, radial and cross-modes are examined with particular attention to the pressure nodal ellipses and hyperbolae. An analytical formulation is then outlined for characterizing a single-inlet and single-outlet elliptical muffler with the inlet located on the end face and the outlet located either on the end face or side-surface. The ensuing chapter is devoted toward analyzing the Transmission Loss (TL) performance of different short end-chamber mufflers, namely (a) the straight-flow configuration having ports located on the opposite face, (b) the flow-reversal configuration with ports located on the same end face and (c) configuration with inlet port on the end face and outlet on the side surface. Design guidelines are formulated in terms of the optimal location of inlet and outlet ports which suppresses the deteriorating influence of certain higher-order modes, thereby delivering a broadband TL performance. Directions for future work are discussed toward the end.
In summary, this book is a one-stop solution for a practicing automotive engineer designing mufflers, for an applied mathematician studying wave propagation in elliptical geometries, and also as a niche area within noise control engineering.
AKHILESH MIMANI is an Assistant Professor at Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK), Uttar Pradesh India. Akhilesh received his PhD (2012) in Mechanical Engineering from the prestigious Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore specializing in muffler and duct acoustics. He has completed research associate positions at The University of Adelaide (2016), University of New South Wales Sydney (2017) and University of Technology Sydney (2018) before joining IITK in 2018. Akhilesh has 10 years of experience in the analysis and design of mufflers for automotive and industrial applications which includes consultancy. His other research interests include computational and experimental aeroacoustics, array processing techniques such as time-reversal and beamforming for source localization, and application of the finite element method to acoustic wave propagation problems. Akhilesh's work has been published in reputed international journals and conference proceedings, and he has received funding from both government and industry, in addition to travel grants.
