Abstract:The two-dimensional acoustic wave equation for inviscid compressible boundary layer flows, i.e. the Pridmore-Brown equation with an exponential velocity profile for homentropic flows, is studied for the reflection and over-reflection of acoustic waves based on the exact solution in terms of the confluent Heun function. The reflection coefficient
$R$
, which is the ratio of the amplitude of the reflected to that of the incoming acoustic wave, is determined as a function of the streamw… Show more
