INTERACTION OF UNSTEADY-FLOW WITH AN ACOUSTIC LINER

The effects of a mean grazing flow on the energy exchanges involved in the interaction of a bias-flow acoustic liner with, respectively, incident sound and boundary layer turbulence are contrasted. The analysis of model problems which make use of a line vortex to simulate large scale, unsteady boundary layer structures indicates that, whereas acoustic waves may be effectively attenuated, dissipation caused by jetting" in the apertures of the liner can result in a net transfer of energy from the mean flow to the turbulence in the boundary layer. © 1979."
