Coupled-mode theory for stationary and nonstationary resonant sound propagation

Abstract

In this paper, we present a complete analytical derivation of the equations used for stationary and nonstationary wave systems regarding resonant sound transmission and reflection described by the phenomenological coupled-mode theory. We calculate the propagating and coupling parameters used in coupled-mode theory directly by utilizing the generalized eigenwave-eigenvalue problem from the Hamiltonian of the sound wave equations for the problem of a one-dimensional isolated on-channel resonance. This Hamiltonian formalization could be beneficial and could potentially model and parameterize a broad range of acoustic wave phenomena. We demonstrate how to use this theory as a basis for perturbation analysis of complex resonant scattering scenarios. In particular, we form the effective Hamiltonian and coupled-mode parameters for the study of sound resonators with background moving media. Finally, we provide a comparison between coupled-mode theory and full-wave numerical examples, which validate the Hamiltonian approach as a relevant model to compute the scattering characteristics of waves by complex resonant systems.

Waveguide filter
A waveguide filter is an electronic filter constructed with waveguide technology. Waveguides are hollow metal conduits inside which an electromagnetic wave may be transmitted. Filters are devices used to allow signals at some frequencies to pass (the passband), while others are rejected (the stopband). Filters are a basic component of electronic engineering designs and have numerous applications. These include selection of signals and limitation of noise.
Resonator
A resonator is a device or system that exhibits resonance or resonant behavior. That is, it naturally oscillates with greater amplitude at some frequencies, called resonant frequencies, than at other frequencies. The oscillations in a resonator can be either electromagnetic or mechanical (including acoustic). Resonators are used to either generate waves of specific frequencies or to select specific frequencies from a signal. Musical instruments use acoustic resonators that produce sound waves of specific tones.
Acoustic wave
Acoustic waves are a type of energy propagation through a medium by means of adiabatic loading and unloading. Important quantities for describing acoustic waves are acoustic pressure, particle velocity, particle displacement and acoustic intensity. Acoustic waves travel with a characteristic acoustic velocity that depends on the medium they're passing through. Some examples of acoustic waves are audible sound from a speaker (waves traveling through air at the speed of sound), seismic waves (ground vibrations traveling through the earth), or ultrasound used for medical imaging (waves traveling through the body).
