Hole edges of a micro-perforate

perforate.mpp_edge Step 05 · Boundary Conditions

How much resistance the air moving over the plate surface adds to a micro-perforated plate with circular holes: the surface resistance RsR_s times 2α2\alpha.

Last updated

Theory

Besides the viscous losses inside the holes, the oscillating flow drawn into and out of each hole rubs on the plate surface. Maa (1998) adds 122ωρη\tfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{2\omega\rho\eta} in total, which is α=1/2\alpha = 1/2 in the notation of Allam and Abom (2011). Allam and Åbom fitted the factor to their measurements: α=4\alpha = 4 for sharp-edged holes and α=2\alpha = 2 for holes with rounded edges.

The hole impedance itself is the exact solution for the oscillating flow in a short tube Maa (1998) with the mass end correction 0.85 d0.85\,d; with grazing flow the resistance rises by KM/σK M/\sigma and the end correction falls by FδF_\delta Allam and Abom (2011).
