Measurements of Energy Losses Associated with Interactions Between Acoustic Waves and a Steady Flow Field

Abstract

An experimental program has been conducted to study interactions between acoustic waves and non-uniform flow fields. Data have been taken in an impedance tube, modified to accommodate an average flow, and in a resonance tube. Results are given for the influence of flow through a subsonic exhaust vent on an acoustic field. Measurements for circular and slot vents of several sizes and for two frequencies show that the flow through the vent causes a transfer of energy from the average flow field to the acoustic field: The vent acts as a source or gain of acoustic energy.
