AbstractIn this paper we propose a semi-analytic one-dimensional acoustic model of a duct which has a continuously varying cross-sectional area under the non- zero mean flow condition. Our idea is to approximate the region of varying area as a sequence of abrupt area change. It is shown that the commonly employed approximation method in which the area varying zone is replaced with one abrupt area change can result in significant errors in terms of acoustic transfer matrix.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    A precise acoustic model of a duct with a continuously varying cross-sectional area, such as the interval [x1, x2] in an acoustic model of a gas turbine engines in Fig. 1, is a difficult task. The acoustic model of the area con- tracting part [x1, x2] should represent physical behaviors but at the same time it need be mathematically simple and explicit to be integrated for an acoustic analysis of the whole system.

    [x1, x2] is not significant [1]. In addition, some recent results can handle more general cases but the model is too complicated and implicit, e.g. see [2], [3].

    An intuitively appealing and commonly used approach in practice is to approximate the area varying region [x1, x2] as having an abrupt area change at xe [x1, x2] as depicted in Fig. 2. This approach can be naturally generalised to introduce a sequence of tiny area jumps as shown in Fig. 3 instead of one.

    A fundamental question is whether or not the acous- tic model corresponding to n-jump approximation con- verges to a certain model in an appropriate sense as the number of jumps n increases. In addition, assuming that the many-jump model converges, our next question is whether or not it is possible to cleverly choose the fictitious area jump position xe in Fig. 2 of the single jump model such a way that the associated model can be reasonably close to multi-step model. These two questions are investigated in this paper.

  2. ACOUSTIC MODEL

    1. Single step model

      In one-dimensional acoustic model of a duct in Fig. 2, we need to characterize the relations between pressure and volume velocity perturbations between x1 and x2.

      For the intervals [x1, xe) and (xe, x2], acoustic waves

      We divide the interval [x1, x2] into n sub-intervals [x1(k1), x1k)] for k = 1, , n where x1 = x10 and x1n = x2 as shown in Fig. 3. Each sub-interval is composed of a wave propagation for a distance := (x2 x1)/n and then a sudden area contraction. This can be written as

      simply propagate over a duct of a constant area and thus it follows that

    Fig. 7: Bode plot of M22(n, s) for n [2, 10] and u1 = 0

    We have computed the Bode plots of four component Mij(n, s) of the acoustic transfer matrix in (14). Thehorizontal axis in Fig. 4-7 denotes the normalized fre- quency w/Lc (w = 2f ) , L = x2 x1 and the arrows

    indicates the direction of increasing n [2, 10].

    The overall results strongly suggests that the multiple

    step model quickly converges to a limit model as the

    Fig. 5: Bode plot of M12(n, s) for n [2, 10] and u1 = 0

    number of steps increases.

    B. Resonance frequency shift

    The anti-resonance frequency around w/Lc 1 in Fig. 4 was zoomed with a larger n [5, 30] in Fig. 8. An interesting observation here is that, as n increases, the anti-resonance frequency slightly decreases toward w/Lc = 0.968 roughly. Another way of looking at this

    result is that the area variation gave rise to an increased duct length L L/0.968 = 1.03L (3%) effectively.

    the one-jump model (7) such that the resulting model becomes similar to the multi-jump model (14) ?

    Seeking an answer to this question, we have compared the Bode plot of S(, s) with M (10, s) in Fig, 10-13 with a zero-mean flow. The thick cyan lines in those

    C. Mean flow effect

    One of the most surprising result in this paper is that the acoustic transfer matrix significantly depends on mean flow.

    One can see this clearly in the Bode magnitude plot of M11(n, s) (upper) and M12(n, s) (lower) in Fig. 9 where n = 10 and the Mach number M1 := u0/c [0, 0.02].

    Note that the tiny mean flow u0 = 6.9 (meter/sec) of the case M1 = 0.02 can virtually eliminate the anti- resonance peak around w/Lc = 1. Our computation revealed, but not included here, that the mean flow dependency however is less significant in the cases of another two components M21(n, s) and M22(n, s).

    D. Dependency on jump position

    Let us consider the next question ; Is it possible to cleverly choose a fictitious area jump position xe of

    figures denote the Bode plot of M (10, s).

    { }

    An interesting fact is that, in the case of S11, S22 shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 13, both and 1 give the same results.

    Note from Fig. 10 that either a small = 0.1 or a large = 0.9 results in S11(, s) close to M11(10, s). In contrast, in other three cases in Fig. 11-13, the single step model becomes similar to multiple step model with a moderate choice 0.5 in overall.

    These observation suggest that the single step model is an intrinsically different from the multiple step model and thus it is an inaccurate acoustic model, irrespectively of how to choose a step location.

  4. CONCLUSION

We developed a semi-analytic one-dimensional acous- tic model of a duct with a continuously varying cross- sectional area under the non-zero mean flow condition. Our numerical case study suggests that the acoustic transfer matrix of a multiple step approximation for
