As a stepping stone towards understanding acoustic resonances in axial flow compressors, acoustic resonances are computed numerically in fixed single and tandem plate cascades in an infinitely long annular duct. Applying perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary conditions in the form of the complex scaling method of atomic and molecular physics to approximate the radiation condition the resonance problem is transformed into an eigenvalue problem. Of particular interest are resonances with zero radiation damping (trapped modes) or very small radiation damping (nearly trapped modes). Such resonances can be excited by wakes from compressor cascades or struts. If the shedding frequency is sufficiently close to an acoustic resonant frequency, the latter may control the vortex shedding causing high-intensity tonal noise or occasionally even blade failure. All resonances are computed for zero mean flow approximating low-Mach-number flows. The influence of various cascade parameters on the resonant frequencies is studied and, whenever possible, our numerical results are compared with published experimental findings.

Acoustic resonances of simple three-dimensional finite-length structures in an infinitely long cylindrical pipe are investigated numerically by solving an eigenvalue problem. To avoid unphysical reflections at the finite grid boundaries placed in the uniform cross-sections of the pipe, perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary conditions are applied in the form of the complex scaling method of atomic and molecular physics. Examples of the structures investigated are sound-hard spheres, cylinders, cavities and closed side branches. Several truly trapped modes with zero radiation loss are identified for frequencies below the first cutoff frequency of the pipe. Such trapped modes can be excited aerodynamically by coherent vortices if the frequency of the shed vortices is close to a resonant frequency. Furthermore, numerical evidence is presented for the existence of isolated embedded trapped modes for annular cavities above the first cutoff frequency and for closed side branches below the first cutoff frequency. As applications of engineering interest, the acoustic resonances are computed for a ball-type valve and around a simple model of a high-speed train in an infinitely long tunnel.

Low- and high-frequency acoustic resonances are computed numerically via a high-order finite-element code for a generic two-dimensional high-lift configuration with a leading-edge slat. Zero mean flow is assumed, approximating the low-Mach-number situation at aircraft landing and approach. To avoid unphysical reflections at the boundaries of the truncated computational domain, perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary conditions are implemented in the form of the complex scaling method of atomic and molecular physics. It is shown that two types of resonance exist: resonances of surface waves which scale with the total airfoil length and longitudinal cavity-type resonances which scale with the slat cove length. Minima exist in the temporal decay rate which can be associated with the slat cove resonances and depend on the slat cove geometry. All resonances are damped owing to radiation losses. However, if coherent noise sources exist, as observed in low-Reynolds-number experiments, these sources can be enhanced acoustically by the above resonances if the source frequency is close to a resonant frequency.

In contrast to completely open systems, laterally confined domains can sustain localized, truly trapped modes with nominally zero radiation loss. These discrete resonant modes cannot be excited linearly by the continuous propagating duct modes due to symmetry constraints. If the symmetry of the geometry is broken the trapped modes become highly localized quasi-trapped modes which can interfere with the propagating duct modes. The resulting narrowband Fano resonances with resonance and antiresonance features are a generic phenomenon in all scattering problems with multiple resonant pathways. This paper deals with the classical scattering of acoustic waves by various obstacles such as hard-walled single and multiple circular cylinders or rectangular and wedge-like screens in a two-dimensional duct without mean flow. The transmission and reflection coefficients as well as the (complex) resonances are computed numerically by means of the finite-element method in conjunction with two different absorbing boundary conditions, namely the complex scaling method and the Hardy space method. The results exhibit the typical asymmetric Fano line shapes near the trapped-mode resonances if the symmetry of the geometry is broken.

AbstractRevisiting the classical acoustics problem of rectangular side-branch cavities in a two-dimensional duct of infinite length, we use the finite-element method to numerically compute the acoustic resonances as well as the sound transmission and reflection for an incoming fundamental duct mode. To satisfy the requirement of outgoing waves in the far field, we use two different forms of absorbing boundary conditions, namely the complex scaling method and the Hardy space method. In general, the resonances are damped due to radiation losses, but there also exist various types of localized trapped modes with nominally zero radiation loss. The most common type of trapped mode is antisymmetric about the duct axis and becomes quasi-trapped with very low damping if the symmetry about the duct axis is broken. In this case a Fano resonance results, with resonance and antiresonance features and drastic changes in the sound transmission and reflection coefficients. Two other types of trapped modes, termed embedded trapped modes, result from the interaction of neighbouring modes or Fabry–Pérot interference in multi-cavity systems. These embedded trapped modes occur only for very particular geometry parameters and frequencies and become highly localized quasi-trapped modes as soon as the geometry is perturbed. We show that all three types of trapped modes are possible in duct–cavity systems and that embedded trapped modes continue to exist when a cavity is moved off centre. If several cavities interact, the single-cavity trapped mode splits into several trapped supermodes, which might be useful for the design of low-frequency acoustic filters.

Abstract Diffusion-type problems in (nearly) unbounded domains play important roles in various fields of fluid dynamics, biology, and materials science. The aim of this paper is to construct accurate absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) suitable for classical (local) as well as nonlocal peridynamic (PD) diffusion models. The main focus of the present study is on the PD diffusion formulation. The majority of the PD diffusion models proposed so far are applied to bounded domains only. In this study, we propose an effective way to handle unbounded domains both with PD and classical diffusion models. For the former, we employ a meshfree discretization, whereas for the latter the finite element method (FEM) is employed. The proposed ABCs are time-dependent and Dirichlet-type, making the approach easy to implement in the available models. The performance of the approach, in terms of accuracy and stability, is illustrated by numerical examples in 1D, 2D, and 3D.
