Abstract

The article delves into the significance of uncertainty analysis in acoustics, particularly in the context of acoustic wave propagation in infinite domains. It discusses various uncertainty analysis techniques, with a focus on perturbation methods and isogeometric boundary element methods (IGABEM). The main contribution is the development of a generalized nth-order perturbation method for 3D acoustic scattering problems, which is applied to complex CAD geometries using Loop subdivision surfaces. The method is validated through numerical examples, showcasing its accuracy and efficiency in handling uncertainty in acoustic systems. Additionally, the article highlights the use of fast multipole methods to accelerate computations, making it a valuable resource for professionals seeking advanced techniques in acoustic analysis.
