4.6  Conclusion

As stated in the introduction of Chapter 4, the solution of the interior boundary value problem by the boundary element method is well-established. The results in Figures 4.A, 4.B, 4.D, 4.E and 4.F show the accuracy of the method on the three test boundaries by comparing computed and exact solutions.

The results from the two-dimensional car show a series of peaks in the sound pressure. The peaks are the outcome of acoustic resonances. The determination of the frequencies at which the peaks occur in this type of problem is the subject of Chapter 6.
