Abstract

When a pipe, connected to reservoirs at both ends, is subjected to an oscillating compression and expansion, fluid is alternately squeezed into and out of the reservoirs, causing a considerable amount of dissipation. This and two other related geometries (involving a symmetrical channel, and a pair of circular disks) are analysed for their flow patterns and energy dissipation, as a function of frequency. It is found that, under certain circumstances, the impedance due to transverse flow can greatly exceed the acoustical impedance (due to longitudinal flow).
