ABSTRACT

To study acoustic properties of dissipative silencers, a simulation of sound propagation in two-medium region is considered. The first medium is an ideal compressible fluid with density ro and sound velocity c. The second one is a sound-absorbing material with acoustic properties determined by flow resistivity r. In this case, the non-dimensional frequency characteristic of the silencer efficiency depends on a ratio between linear dimension of the structure and characteristic scale L=ro*c/r only. Universal characteristics of lengthy dissipative silencers with fibrous absorbers are obtained within the given approach. Two-parameter model, which takes into account the relation between channel width and sound-absorbing panel thickness, is analysed. The validity of the one-parameter model that describes a non-dimensional frequency characteristic in dependence of the channel width is confirmed for thick panels. Calculations for both cellular and isotropic packing of sound-absorbing material in the silencer in case of thick panels are performed.
