So I understand the objective function is: -10*log10(0.5*realdot(pm,pm)/2e-5^2) which makes sense when reading literature but when looking at the definition of 'pm':
pm=intop1(r*besselj(0,acpr.k*r*sin(theta))*pz)
(where intop1 is the integration over the boundary on the outlet; bessel is the bessel function and pz is the z derivative of pressure)
I have no idea what this translates into for my design which does not have radial symmetry. What would this equation be for say a horn built into a 2D slab on the outlet boundary? I am new to acoustics, sorry.
Also, is there any benefit to using this objective function over say taking the maximum sound pressure level in the ambient?
Thank you for any help
