Abstract
En 中文
High-fidelity lattice–Boltzmann very-large-eddy simulations are performed to describe the noise dissipation mechanisms in a single cavity acoustic liner subjected to grazing turbulent flow at a centreline Mach number of 0.3 and plane acoustic waves. The study examines the effects of sound pressure level (SPL; ranging from 130 to 160 dB) and source frequency; as well as of the direction of acoustic-wave propagation relative to the grazing flow. The acoustic energy dissipation mechanisms are the viscous losses within the shear layer forming along the internal walls of the orifice and the vortex shedding. The latter is quantified through Howe’s energy corollary. In the absence of grazing flow; acoustic energy is dissipated almost equally during both inflow and outflow phases; with vortex shedding dominating at high SPL and viscous losses at low SPL. The introduction of a grazing flow alters the flow topology; in particular; the shear layer past the orifice generates a quasi-steady vortex that confines the acoustic-induced flow to the downstream half of the orifice. This topological change alters the two noise dissipation mechanisms: viscous losses increase at low SPL because the grazing flow pushes the fluid towards the downstream lip of the orifice; vortex shedding becomes phase dependent; dissipating acoustic energy during the inflow phase and generating acoustic energy during the outflow phase. This explains why the net acoustic dissipation decreases in the presence of grazing flow; highlighting the crucial role of near-wall flow topology on liner performances.
