Numerical simulations of perforated plate liners: Analysis of the visco-thermal dissipation mechanisms

Zusammenfassung:In the linear regime and in the absence of mean flow, the impedance of perforated liners is driven by visco-thermal effects. In this paper, two numerical models are employed for predicting these visco-thermal losses. The first model is the linearized compressible Navier–Stokes equations (LNSE), solved in the frequency domain. The second model is the Helmholtz equation with a visco-thermal boundary condition, accounting for the influence of the acoustic boundary layers. These models are compared and validated against measurements. The quantitative analysis of the dissipation rate due to viscosity, computed from the LNSE solutions of four perforated plates, highlights significant differences between the edge effects of a macro- and a micro-perforated plate. In the latter case, a jet is present at the entrances of the perforation. In contrast, the proposed numerical method to calculate the impedance of perforated liners, based on the Helmholtz equation and a visco-thermal boundary condition, is found to be computationally cheaper and to provide reliable predictions.
