Abstract:
Acoustic resonances are generated by air moving past a plate with a semi-circular leading edge located in a duct. The sound stimulates the small separation bubble near the leading edge to shed vortices into the boundary layer at the sound frequency. The acoustic energy required to sustain the resonances is generated as these vortices pass the trailing edge of the plate.
