Abstract
The boundary element–Rayleigh integral method (BERIM) is developed for the solution of acoustic problems consisting of a cavity with a single opening. The method is a hybrid of the interior boundary element method (BEM) and the Rayleigh integral method for the solution of the Helmholtz equation. FORTRAN codes for expressing the method for axisymmetric problems and general three-dimensional problems are developed. Both methods are applied to the problem of simulating the acoustic field produced by horn loudspeakers. The results are compared with measured data and the traditional exterior BEM. It is shown that the method can have significant computational advantages over the traditional BEM for problems consisting of an open cavity.
