A porous media model for the numerical simulation of acoustic attenuation by perforated liners in the presence of grazing flows (2021)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Rubini, P., & Qin, Q. (2021). A porous media model for the numerical simulation of acoustic attenuation by perforated liners in the presence of grazing flows. Applied Sciences, 11(10), Article 4677. https://doi.org/10.3390/app11104677

In this paper, a novel model is proposed for the numerical simulation of noise-attenuating perforated liners. Effusion cooling liners offer the potential of being able to attenuate combustion instabilities in gas turbine engines. However, the acousti...
