Whistling Potential of an In-Duct Orifice in the Presence of Flow
Application ID: 74041
This model studies a small orifice located in a duct. The transmission and reflection coefficients of the system are computed in the presence of a bias flow using the linearized Navier-Stokes equations. For certain frequencies the transmission coefficient shows amplification (T>1). This is due to the interaction between flow and acoustics where energy is transferred between acoustic and vorticity modes.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Tabella delle Funzionalità and make use of a free evaluation license.
