Abstract
An acoustic duct with external sonic black hole (E-SBH) insertion differs from the widely studied conventional configuration in which SBH components are located inside the duct. The E-SBH has the foreseeable benefit of avoiding flow obstruction inside the conduit while preserving the desired SBH effects. The characterizations of such SBH configurations alongside the wave propagation properties along the duct, however, have been less investigated. In this study, we analyze an E-SBH with perforation-modulated boundaries by means of theoretical, numerical and experimental methods. Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) solutions and their applicable ranges are first developed, allowing for a comprehensive characterization of slow-wave phenomena in both bare E-SBH and perforation-modulated E-SBH (PME-SBH) configurations. These solutions, verified against numerical simulations, provide a complete and analytical description of wave speed variations and define theoretical slow-wave limits for a given set of system parameters. By incorporating perforated boundaries and optimizing the perforation parameters, PME-SBH is shown to entail enhanced wave retarding effect, maintaining slow-sound with fewer inner rings. Finally, time-domain experiments confirm the predicted slow-wave effects in both external SBH configurations.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
