Aeolian tones of a plate cascade (Q1592075)

From author's summary: We suggest a model for aeroacoustic resonance effects (aeolian tones) excited around a plate cascade in a gas flow. Methods of calculating the frequencies of natural acoustic oscillations near the cascade are developed, and the effects of cascade geometry and Mach number on the frequencies, abundance, and modes of natural oscillations are investigated. We show that there exist anomalous acoustic oscillations near the cyclic plate cascade, together with no less than two natural oscillation frequencies in the gas flow. It also has been found that natural oscillation frequencies can be combined in bundles such that in the case where the number of plates is large, the frequencies pertaining to each bundle occupy a certain interval with arbitrary density. The natural oscillations are classified with respect to the form of eigenfunctions: the classification is based on the theory of representations of groups of locally plane symmetries of cyclic plate cascades in the solution space. The correctness of the proposed model is validated by a comparison with available experimental and theoretical data.
