INTERACTION OF A SLOT-TONE WITH A PIPE Alexis Billon, Vincent Valeau and Anas Sakout L.E.P.T.A.B., University of La Rochelle, France
Summary Experimental apparatus Overview of the operating range of the self-sustained tones Evolution of the slot-tone with the jet velocity and the system geometry Identification of the amplified instability Comparison of the acoustic fields within and outside the pipe Conclusion
Experimental apparatus Length parameter: Fundamental frequency of the tones
Overview of the self-sustained tones Typical pressure spectrum f0 2f0 f0/2 f0+f0/2 Operating range of the self-sustained tones: Velocity : from Re0=2400 Geometric : 1.1<L/H<7.5 S.P.L.max = 115 dB
Influence of the plate distance (Re0=11.104)
Calculation of the shear-layer natural frequency Michalke’s formula : Where : fn = 1350 Hz Calculated frequency : Conclusion : same order of magnitude than the self-sustained tones
Influence of the jet velocity (L/H=3.0)

Conclusion Strong self-sustained tones occur over Re0=2400 and 1.1<L/H<7.5 The self-sustained tones are the result of the shear-layer instabilities Below Re0~7000, the inner and the outer acoustic fields of the duct are weackly coupled. The hydrodynamic feedback is dominant. Above Re0~7000, the pipe acoustic field reinforces and controls the self-sustained tones. The acoustic feedback is dominant.
