Flow rate through a long channel with a rotating damper at the end

The experimental data on the flow rate (velocity) of a fluctuating air flow are presented on a wide fluctuation frequency range at a constant pressure difference between the channel entry and exit. The superimposed flow fluctuations were produced by periodic cut-off of the exit section by a rotating damper. A considerable dependence of the mean flow rate (velocity) on the wave structure of the flow is established. A flow rate minimum corresponds to resonance flow modes with a maximum relative amplitude of the flow velocity fluctuations.
