Matching of Asymptotic Expansions for a 2-D eigenvalue problem with two cavities linked by a narrow hole

Abstract : One question of interest in an industrial conception of air planes motors is the study of the deviation of the acoustic resonance frequencies of a cavity which is linked to another one through a thin slot. These frequencies have a direct impact on the stability of the combustion in one of these two cavities. In this work, we aim is analyzing the eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using the Matched Asymptotic Expansions technique, we derive the Asymptotic Expansion of this eigenmodes. Then, these results are validated through error estimates. Finally, we show how we can design a numerical method to compute the eigenvectors of this problem. The results are compared with direct computations.
