Noise predictions in acoustic cavities lead to different formulations in low or high frequency ranges. In the case of fast calculations, we propose a mixed formulation based on a finite element mesh including a "high frequency energy degree of freedom" to predict high frequency phenomena. The mesh size is planned for studying low-(medium) frequency range phenomena through a classical finite element method. The same mesh is used to build energy elements to take into account the (medium)-high frequency range phenomena. The method aims at performing low-cost calculations in medium-high frequency ranges using low-frequency-based existing meshes, i.e. without re-meshing the system.
