The acoustic slot elements, CSLOTi, are applied to analyze two-dimensional enclosures with fixed or moving boundaries. The capability utilized to compute (a) the acoustic natural modes and frequencies of a rigid walled enclosure and (b) the sound pressure at any point inside an enclosure when the surrounding walls are forced to vibrate. Applications to an automobile passenger compartment illustrate the technique. The axisymmetric fluid elements, CFLUIDi, are used in conjunction with a suitable choice of symmetry planes and a model of the surrounding structure to approximate a two-dimensional enclosure with flexible walls. The enclosure walls are modeled using finite elements or structural modes. Illustrative examples include a comparison of rectangular cavity modes with those calculated using the acoustic slot element and the free vibration modes of two enclosures coupled through a flexible rectangular panel
