Abstract:Lock-in flow tones can occur for many different types of flow instabilities and structural-acoustic resonators at low Mach number. This paper examines the interaction between a shear layer instability generated by flow over a shallow cavity and the modes of an elastic cantilevered beam containing the cavity. A describing function model indicates that a cavity shear layer instability capable of producing lock-in with acoustic pipe resonances cannot achieve lock-in with equivalent structural beam resonances, par… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
