OPTIMIZATION OF COMPLEXLY SHAPED DISSIPATIVE SILENCERS

The article is about a comprehensive study of dissipative silencers of complex shapes. Analyzed the acoustic efficiency of such silencers. The sound absorption coefficient determined from experimental data. The acoustic properties of plate silencers take into account that coefficient. Presented the results of verification of models with plates of constant thickness. Considered the plates of complex shapes: uniform thickness change, convex and concave. Obtained results of modeling the acoustic efficiency of silencers with complex shape plates. These results are for different values of the mean integral thickness for the octave bands frequencies. Determined the dependence of the length of complex shapes silencers on their mean integral thickness. Presented the results of mathematical modeling of the airflow in silencers to determine their aerodynamic drag. The calculations showed that there is an optimal shape and mean integral thickness of the plates. Under which conditions the aerodynamic resistance of the silencer is minimal.
