The decrease of the\u0000wave speed is associated with the spatial variation of acoustic impedance,\u0000while the absorption properties are linked to thermoviscous losses induced by\u0000the local resonances of the structure. While most of the developments in the\u0000field of sonic black holes are dedicated to one-dimensional structures, the\u0000current study is concerned with their two-dimensional counterparts.
