11 The Open Pipe Termination of an Unflanged Pipe
Let us consider a thin-walled pipe with a mean-flow velocity Uy directed to-
‘wards an unflanged open pipe termination. The pipe eress section has a radius
a. The speed of sound, ¢9, ig uniform. We will diseuss the reflection at the
pipe termination of harmonic waves with a low frequency, J, travelling down
the flow in the pipe. These acoustical plane waves induce (just) upstream of
the pipe termination a uniiorm acoustical velocity & = (ut.0,0) along the
pipe axis. As we eonsider low Helmholtz numbers, He = (af/eg) 1, tho
acoustical flow at the pipe exit is a locally incompressible potential flow as
sketched in Fig. 6. Near the sharp edges of the open pipe termination the
potential flow is singular, which implies very large ratios of the local aconsti-
cal velocity Ju| and the acoustical velocity ue al some distence upstream of
the pipe termination. At a distance of the order of the pipe radius « (dewn-
stream of the pipe outlet) the acoustical flow is alteady close to a spheri
symmetrical flow with a velocity decreasing quadratically with the distance
from the origin (locally incompressible flow). In the absence of mean flow,
the inertia ofthis acoustical ow just outside the pipe induces a difference in
tho scalar potential, which is often represented 2s an end correction (35).

plies following Howe"s forms (65) that there is a transfer of energy from the
acoustical flow to the vortical flow. We eecept this result easily. ‘The acousti-
cal flow generates « vortical perturbation, and should pay a price for it. We
also see that the interaction is strong beeanse the convective velocity w is
normal to the local acoustical velocity’ w. Furthermore, due to the singularity
of the acoustical (potential) flow we have locally relatively large acoustical
velocities at the sharp edge.
‘The big surprise comes from the fact that both w’ and v do not change
sign while w does change sign. Hence, afier half n period (Y= 1/f) of a
cillation the perturbation of vorticity which we have focused on produces
acoustical energy because (f/.2) > 0. As we travel away from the edge,
v retains approximately constant while w and the angle between w and &
both decrease with the distance from the pipe outlet. This implics that if!

lion has indicated that in the presence of a mean outflow, Uo, the net sound
absorption is the result of a combination of an initially large sound absorp-
tion upo followed by sound produetion half » pe
If we could reduce the initial absorption and increase the later produetion,
‘we can expect that a net sound production is possible (in order to reduce
sclE-sustained cseillations we can use spoilers to inerease the initinl sound ab-
sorption, [8)). ‘The whistler-nozzle configuration shown in Fig. 9 satisfies both
‘these requirements, and does produce sound at specifi Strouhal numbers [12].

Th the original papers on the whistler-noazle it was argued that the sound

free jet on the edges ofthe pipe termination at the end ofthe collar ({i8) (43).
Vortox-scnnd theory indieates that such an impingement és not necessary fo
sound production, ‘This is confirmned by the fact that rounding the edges

of such self-sustained eseillations is human whistling. Following Wilson [48]
human whistling is due to a coupling between vortex shedding, at our lips
and the Helmboltz resonance frequency of our mouth. This i ihustrated
in Fig. 12. The Stronhal condition for optimal whistling is easily observed
by first fixing the geometrical configuration (lip and tongue positions) and
then giadually increasing the volume flow, A certain critical flow velocity
has to be reached before whistling appears. Above a certain flow velocity,
whistling disappears again. Young children often blow too hard when they

the vortices are convected far outside the lips (horn) before they ean produce

to keep the Stroubal number as elese as possible to the optimal Stroubol

Consider the sound generated by a finite region of rotational flow in an
unbounded fluid at rest at infinity, Let us compare the equations for the
density fluctuations in the real flow with those for an ideal, linear acoustic
suedium which coincides with Ue real fluid at large distances from the sources.
‘The difference between these equations will be shown to be equivalent to a.
distribution of sources in the ideal acoustie medium, whose radiation field
is the same as that in the real flow and may therefore be calculated by the
methods of linear asoustics. ‘To do this, body forces are neglected, and the
‘momentum equation is written in the form.

Al low Mach numbers the velocity defining the Reynolds stress quadrupole
in Lighthill's equation can be determined by regarding the source flaw as
incompressible, and using the Biot-Savart induction law of hydrodynamics
to express v in terms of the vorticity w.
Consider an acoustically compact, homentropic vorticity distribution w of
seale f centered on the coordinate origin in a medium of density p, and sound
spoad e,. The velocity v = wt Vy, where m is the incompressible velocity field
defined in terms of w by the Biot-Savart induction formula, which implies
that a ~ O(L/Ix[?) as fc] = 00. Since div m=, the value of y is determined
by the compressibility of the fluid, in the souree region p—po ~ pot? and the
characteristic frequency of the source flow ~ u/?. Thus, Dp/Dt ~ ppi/t,
