摘要

In this paper, a model is presented to simulate wave propagation in straight and curved tunnels with arched cross section with imperfectly conducting walls. The model is based on treating the tunnels as a rectangular waveguide with imperfectly conducting walls, where the arched cross section of the tunnels is approximated with equivalent rectangular cross section. A scenario is considered to check the accuracy of this model. This scenario is verified by comparing experimental and numerical simulation results. Good agreement between the proposed model and the experimental results is obtained.
