Extraneous Frequencies Generated in Air Carrying Intense Sound Waves*

Abstract: The exact equation of the propagation of plane sound waves in air is not linear and consequently harmonics and combination tones are generated. The pressure of these extraneous frequencies in terms of the fundamental pressure, frequency, and distance from the source has been mathematically determined by Rayleigh, Lamb and others. These equations have been applied to an exponential horn. Measurements of the second harmonic and combination tones have been made at various points within a long tube, and in front o… Show more

“…Excess attenuation at high amplitudes arises from increased flow resistance as well as energy shifted into higher, odd harmonics. Amplitude saturation occurs at high amplitudes when excess attenuation balances increased amplitude, as documented in air by Thuras et al 32 and in porous materials by Kuntz. 1 The collection of parameters KA 10 /Q 1 corresponds to the Gol'dberg number À in the familiar solution to Burgers' equation.…”

“…The need to investigate this aspect is that several disciplines are interesting in this aspect, disciplines as medicine, engineering, etc. The first fluid that was investigated was air [ 16 ]. After that, some investigators studied nonlinearity in other fluids.…”
