The aero-acoustic resonance behavior of partially covered slender cavities

The present investigation focuses on the aero-acoustic resonance of cavities with a width much larger than their length or depth and partially covered, as often encountered in automotive door gaps. The cavities are under influence of a low Mach number flow with a relatively thick boundary layer. Under certain conditions, these cavities can...

Investigation of higher spanwise Helmholtz resonance modes in slender covered cavities

Cavity aeroacoustic noise is relevant for aerospace and automotive industries and widely investigated since the 1950s. Most investigations so far consider cavities where opening length and width are of similar scale. The present investigation focuses on a less investigated setup, namely cavities that resemble the door gaps of automobiles. These...
