- This work presents an experimental investigation of the acoustic properties of a slit in the presence of a bias flow under moderate- and high-acoustic excitations. Impedance tube experiments are discussed for a geometry inspired by deep punching resulting in a cut in the plate. The acoustic transfer impedance of the plate is discussed for several bias flow velocities, acoustic excitation, and different frequencies. In the range considered for this study, a bias flow appears to have two main effects, globally enhancing the sound absorption of the plate and creating a protective layer downstream of the plate due to the interaction between the slits. A maximum of the enhancement factor is found at a specific ratio between the acoustic velocity and the bias flow velocity. Two simple asymptotic behaviors are found, dominated by the flow or by the acoustic excitation, respectively. The behavior of the inertance is complex. Globally the inertance decreases with decreasing flow Strouhal number while its dependency on the amplitude of the acoustic velocity is less obvious.

- In this paper, the design, construction and results of experiments performed on a generic combustion system are presented. The setup is supplemented by various weakly frequency-dependent variable reflection coefficient (RC) devices as upstream and downstream acoustic terminations. The main objective of building such terminations is to provide a method to study burner/flame stability when it is placed between various acoustic configurations (RC: 0.1-0.9) and to determine the figure of merit of a burner based on the evaluation of its map of (in-)stability. Furthermore, burner design parameters such as the burner perforation pattern (holes diameter, pitch, perforation area, etc.) which will provide combustion stability for the widest range of burner's acoustic embedding conditions are identified. The experimental setup comprises of an upstream acoustic termination, a telescopic tube with adjustable length is placed after the upstream termination followed by the burner and the quartz tube. On the top of the quartz tube, the replaceable downstream terminations are installed. Nine downstream terminations are constructed by stacking plates of 0.25 mm thickness separated by spacers ranging from 0.1 to 1 mm thickness. Particularly, for the burners tested in this setup, the smallest hole diameter burner (with the largest perforation area) results in the largest stable region on the stability map in the parameter space. An increase in the flow velocity leads to an increase in the frequency of instability and makes a stable system tend to become unstable, while an increase in the equivalence ratio contributes to stabilizing system instability
