The low frequency response of orifices (slit, circular diaphragm, and perforated plate) in the presence of mean flow is well predicted by a quasisteady theory. A refinement is brought to the theory by considering a Mach number dependent vena contracta coefficient. The measurements of the vena contracta coefficient of a slit agree well with the simple analytical expression existing in the case of the Borda tube orifice. The measured scattering matrix coefficients do not depend strongly on the geometry of the element. If the frequency is increased the moduli remain relatively unaffected while the arguments exhibit a complex behavior which depends on the geometry. From these considerations an anechoic termination efficient at high mass flow is designed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
