Lined ducts often form a part of practical flow duct acoustic systems. The prediction of attenuation in such a duct has been a topic of research for many years. As far as the authors' knowiedge goes, the analysis of lined ducts with sheared mean flow has always been done numerically. In this paper,

โฆ Synopsis
A theoretical model describing acoustic attenuation in a flexibile walled duct (having neither internal acoustic treatment nor external lagging) which passes through a reverberant space is described. This model is kept as simple as possible, consistent with retaining the salient physical features of the problem. Both "breakout" and "breakin" sound power, as well as acoustic dissipation by damping in the duct walls, are taken into account. Predictions of attenuation, based on the model, are compared with published experimental data and are observed to embody the principal features of the measurements; quantitative agreement is reasonable, considering the sensitivity of the attenuation to system parameters. The composite nature of the attenuation mechanism is made clear by the results.

It is well known that flanking sound transmission can affect the acoustic attenuation in ducts lined with dissipative material. The exact nature of the flanking paths, ''air-borne'' (sometimes termed ''radiation by-pass'') through ''breakout'' and subsequent ''breakin'' of sound through the duct wal
This paper describes the development and application of a time-domain acoustic liner model which is suitable for the simulation of sound propagation and attenuation in lined ducts. The #uid #ow within the duct domain is represented by the non-linear, unsteady Euler equations while the liner model co
An investigation is made of the phase velocity of the sound wave propagating in a two-dimensional flexible duct that carries a uniform flow. The flexible duct considered herein is composed of two parallel, thin elastic plates. The outer surfaces of the duct are in contact with a stationary fluid med
