Due to the often repetitive design patterns, these silencers can be efficiently modeled by the substructured boundary element method (BEM) in conjunction with the recently developed impedance-to-scattering matrix method. In this paper, we validate the BEM solution by comparing to a semi-analytical solution as well as a finite element method (FEM) solution.", }
