In this study, acoustic metasurfaces are optimized to suppress the broadband frequencies of unstable modes in a Mach 6 boundary-layer (BL) flow. The metasurface is cut into five pieces, and the geometrical parameters of each piece are optimized to afford a comprehensive admittance response to the local frequencies of the first and second modes. It shows the designed broadband metasurface not only is advantageous for stabilizing disturbances above the metasurface region but also inhibits the fast growth rate of low-frequency disturbances on the downstream smooth wall.
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.
