Generalized Solutions of Webster's Horn Theory
Osman K. Mawardi · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1949
Webster's equation for the approximate formulation of the propagation of sound waves in horns is solved using two methods of approach. The first method considers a transmission line with variable parameters as the electrical analogue of the horn. This approach is specially useful in yielding generalized solutions for horns of finite length. The second method, based on an investigation of the singularities of Webster's differential equation, leads to the discovery of a great number of new families of horns.
