Cross section changes in a wave guide (1)
Let us consider an acoustic wave guide whose cross section changes from to as shown below:
The continuity phenomena at the interface between the two elements (small tube, big tube) are expressed via:
a continuity of pressure and volume velocity on either side of the interface (red line between the blue zone and yellow zone),
a volume velocity of zero over the rest of (yellow zone without taking into account the blue zone) which has a perfectly rigid wall.
