The article is about an application of a discrete method for analyzing acoustic attenuation performance of perforated tube mufflers. Acoustic transfer matrix of a tiny perforated tube section which contains one single hole is deduced based on basic hydromechanics equations. Then the work is developed into a general formula for resolving sound transmission loss of one perforated silencer unit consisting of multiple parallel perforated pipes. Result of the calculation formula is compared with that of acoustic finite element method. One more example is presented on influential factors analysis for noise elimination performance of a practical complex perforation muffler.

The one-dimensional analytical solutions are derived and three-dimensional substructure boundary element approaches are developed to predict and analyze the acoustic attenuation characteristics of straight-through perforated tube silencers and folded resonators without mean flow, as well as to examine the effect of nonplanar waves in the silencers and resonators on the acoustic attenuation performance. Comparisons of transmission loss predictions with the experimental results for prototype straight-through perforated tube silencers demonstrated that the three-dimensional approach is needed for accurate acoustic attenuation performance prediction at higher frequencies, while the simple one-dimensional theory is sufficient at lower frequencies. The BEM is then used to investigate the effects of geometrical parameters on the acoustic attenuation characteristics of straight-through perforated tube silencers and folded resonators in detail.

The finite element method is employed to calculate the transmission loss of three-pass perforated reactive and hybrid mufflers. The effects of perforated tubes and bulkheads on the transmission loss of three-pass reactive mufflers are investigated numerically. Two types of hybrid mufflers are considered, and the effects of sound-absorbing material filling and packed outlet tube on the acoustic attenuation performance of mufflers are analyzed. The perforations of the tubes and bulkheads and sound-absorbing material filling are demonstrated to have significant influence on the acoustic attenuation behaviors of the mufflers. The perforation of the tubes and bulkheads may shift the resonance from the low- to middle-frequency range. The sound-absorbing material filling in the middle chamber improves the acoustic attenuation performance at middle to higher frequencies and provides a relatively flat and broadband acoustic attenuation. It is found that the solid inlet or outlet tube replacing the perforated tube and sound-absorbing material filling in the middle chamber increases the pressure drops, while the rest configurations change the pressure drops slightly.

The 3D time-domain computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach is used to calculate the acoustic attenuation performance of perforated tube silencers without and with flow. For the crossflow perforated tube silencer and straight-through perforated tube silencers, the transmission loss predictions agree well with the experimental measurements available in the literature. Then, the 3D time-domain CFD approach is employed to investigate the effects of flow velocity and temperature on the acoustic attenuation performance of perforated tube silencers. The numerical results demonstrated that the transmission loss is increased at most frequencies for the crossflow perforated tube silencer as the air flow increases, while the air flow has little influence on the acoustic attenuation in the plane wave range and increases the acoustic attenuation at higher frequencies for the straight-through perforated tube silencers. Increasing the air temperature shifts the transmission loss curve to higher frequency and lowers the resonance peaks somewhat. The pressure drops of perforated tube silencers are predicted by performing the 3D steady flow computation using CFD. The pressure drop of the crossflow perforated tube silencer is much higher than those of the straight-through perforated tube silencer at the same flow conditions, and the pressure drop of the straight-through perforated tube silencer increases gradually as the porosity increases.
