Abstract
Acoustic liners are often perforated screens backed by sound-absorbent material. Turbulence can interact with these screens to generate additional sound. The dynamics of the generation process is examined in this paper, where the liner is modelled as an infinite rigid plane boundary with a homogeneous array of circular orifices or rigid pistons. The acoustic properties of these boundaries are derived in the long wavelength limit. Small-scale turbulence is scattered by individual apertures into sound. Acoustically transparent surfaces support dipole scattering centres while more ‘opaque’ surfaces have monopoles at the apertures which convert turbulence into sound more effectively. It is shown that the process can be described once the response of an individual aperture in an infinite baffle is known. At low Mach numbers the screen can increase the sound radiated by adjacent turbulence by a factor equal to the inverse fourth power of the Mach number. Mean-flow effects are ignored but they are thought to increase the effects deduced in this preliminary study.
