You can model it in HornResp. They're called 'scoops' as they resemble an old-time sugar scoop. Eliminate the driver chamber and mount the driver near the horn exit rather than on a separate baffle and it becomes a tapped horn. Its disadvantage is that somewhere there will be a major response dip where the front and rear waves are 180 degrees out of phase, though with a tapped configuration as a sub-woofer you can get the dip to occur above the nominal passband, where its presence is moot.
