amplification/attenuation of the acoustic wave

Muu (ω, T(x)) = 0. (2) A solution (ω, T) of Eq. (2) represents an operating point of the system. In the Fourier domain (ω ∈ R), it describes an equilibrium point : either unstable (onset threshold),

  • r stable (steady state),

corresponding to an acoustic wave which is neither amplified, nor attenuated in both cases.

Experiments Theory Simulations of transient regimes Conclusion

Conclusion

A quarter-wavelength thermoacoustic prime mover has been studied and measurements of transient regimes show an “overshoot” before stabilization and periodic “on-off” of the acoustic wave for particular exciting conditions. A model describing amplification and saturation of the acoustic wave has been developped and applied to this prime mover, including two non-linear effects : thermoacoustic heat flux in the stack, and acoustic streaming in the heated part

  • f the resonator.

The “overshoot” is reproduced by both effects. Saturation seems to be mainly due to thermoacoustic heat pumping in the stack Complete switch-off of the wave would be linked to different time scales (stabilization time of acoustic streaming seems to play an important role).
