A new algorithm for nonlinear plane-wave propagation is presented. The algorithm uses a novel time domain representation to account for nonlinearity, while accounting for absorption in the frequency domain. The new algorithm allows for accurate representations of diffractive shockwave propagation in the framework of an existing nonlinear beam propagation model using far fewer harmonics (and thus time) than alternative algorithms based on a frequency domain solution to Burgers' equation. The new algorithm is tested against the frequency domain solution to Burgers' equation in a variety of cases and then used to model a focused ultrasonic piston transducer operating at very high source intensities.

The exact transient responses (e.g., reflection or transmission responses) of a transient point source above a stack of parallel acoustic homogeneous layers between two half‐spaces can be analytically obtained in the form of a finite integral strictly in the time domain. (The theory is presented in part II of this paper, this issue.) The transient acoustic potential of the point source is decomposed into transient plane waves, which are propagated through the layers at any angle of incidence as well in the time domain; finally, they are superposed to obtain the total point‐source response. The theory dealing with transient analytic plane wave propagation is described here. It constitutes an essential part of computing the synthetic seismogram by the new transient method proposed in part II. The plane‐wave propagation is achieved by an exact discrete recursion that automatically handles the conversion of homogeneous waves into inhomogeneous transient plane waves at layer boundaries. A particularly efficient algorithm is presented, that can be viewed as a natural extension of the popular normal‐incidence Goupillaud (1961)-type algorithm to the nonnormal incidence case.

The shape of the modal duct of an acoustic wave propagating in a muffling system varies with the internal geometry. This shape can be either as a result of plane wave propagation or three-dimensional wave propagation. These shapes depict the distribution of acoustic pressure that may be used in the design or modification of mufflers to create resonance at cut-off frequencies and hence achieve noise attenuation or special effects on the output of the noise. This research compares the shapes of acoustic duct modes of two sets of four pitch configurations of a helicoid in a simple expansion chamber with and without a central tube. Models are generated using Autodesk Inventor modeling software and imported into ANSYS 18.2, where a fluid volume from the complex computer-aided-design (CAD) geometry is extracted for three-dimensional (3D) analysis. Mesh is generated to capture the details of the fluid cavity for frequency range between 0 and 2000Hz. After defining acoustic properties, acoustic boundary conditions and loads were defined at inlet and outlet ports before computation. Postprocessed acoustic results of the modal shapes and transmission loss (TL) characteristics of the two configurations were obtained and compared for geometries of the same helical pitch. It was established that whereas plane wave propagation in a simple expansion chamber (SEC) resulted in a clearly defined acoustic pressure pattern across the propagation path, the distribution in the configurations with and without the central tube depicted three-dimensional acoustic wave propagation characteristics, with patterns scattering or consolidating to regions of either very low or very high acoustic pressure differentials. A difference of about 80 decibels between the highest and lowest acoustic pressure levels was observed for the modal duct of the geometry with four turns and with a central tube. On the other hand, the shape of the TL curve shifts from a sinusoidal-shaped profile with well-defined peaks and valleys in definite multiples of π for the simple expansion chamber, while that of the other two configurations depended on the variation in wavelength that affects the location of occurrence of cut-on or cut-off frequency. The geometry with four turns and a central tube had a maximum value of TL of about 90 decibels at approximately 1900Hz.
