Power dissipated per absorber

acoustics.extra_results.dissipation Step 07 · Run Settings

The sound power absorbed in every perforate and every packing at every swept frequency, in watts and as a fraction of the incident power.

Last updated

Theory

Every perforate and packing enters the system as a complex coefficient times a real matrix; the power it absorbs follows from the solved pressure. The total over all absorbers equals the incident power minus the power leaving through all ports. Details and the check: Additional acoustic results: receivers, section power, dissipation, flow effect.
