 If we manually extend the computational domain and include all the apertures, results agree with the analytical results also for small number of apertures.

 +So far the result is not the expected value, which needs to be investigated first. Many of the convergence studies, or studies of impact of different simulation settings on the results were performed already or could be easily re-run when this is more clear.
  
 The sensitivity of 2D calculations results on the settings (computational domain size, time step, near-to-far field transformation,​ et.c) is in the order of few percent, the dominant effect of this uncertainty is the near-to-far field transformation. This does not affect the cases when these conditions are kept same in a series of calculations (so relative changes can be calculated with much higher accuracy), however it certainly affects the absolute values, e.g. when comparing a single calculation to completely different calculation or experimental data. The sensitivity of 2D calculations results on the settings (computational domain size, time step, near-to-far field transformation,​ et.c) is in the order of few percent, the dominant effect of this uncertainty is the near-to-far field transformation.
