An effective algorithm for simulating acoustical wave propagation

Abstract In this paper, the acoustical wave propagator scheme is implemented in Fortran for predicting sound propagation in a one-dimensional duct. Example calculations are performed for a semi-infinite duct and a duct with a solid blockage. Numerical accuracy of our results is examined and compared with the finite-difference time-domain method. This scheme is found to be highly accurate and computationally effective for describing the time-domain evolution of acoustic waves. Multiple reflections with...
