The study of the three-dimensional acoustic field inside an exhaust muffler is usually performed through the
numerical solution of the linearized equations. In this paper, an alternative procedure is proposed, in which the
full equations are solved in the time domain. The procedure is based on the CFD simulation of an impulsive
test, so that the transmission loss may be computed and compared with measurements and other numerical
approaches. Also, the details of the flow inside the muffler may be studied, both in the time and the frequency
domains. The results obtained compare favorably with a conventional FEM calculation, mostly in the ability of
the procedure to account for dissipative processes inside the muffler.

A Helmholtz resonator with a uniform, flexible end plate is studied in this work. This work
shows that the flexible plate modifies the frequency response characteristics of the resonator,
providing multiple distinct resonant frequencies instead of a single resonant frequency.
Therefore, acoustical transmission loss will increase at each of the multiple resonant
frequencies of the resonator and plate assembly versus at a single frequency for the
unmodified Helmholtz resonator. By using receptance coupling as the modeling approach, the
receptance of the Helmholtz resonator and flexible plate assembly is predicted by coupling
receptance models of an unmodified Helmholtz resonator and a clamped plate. Finally, the
predicted receptance of the Helmholtz resonator and flexible plate assembly is compared
against experimental results.
