Abstract
The proximity of obstacles in a ventilation network can result in a significant increase of the noise production. In this paper, a tandem diaphragm inserted in a rigid duct with rectangular cross section is investigated and compared to a single diaphragm obstruction. The disturbed flow which reaches the second obstacle causes an amplification of the radiated noise which goes beyond a simple doubling of the power. Experimental results, carried with various spacing between the two diaphragms and bulk velocity, allows identifying other aeroacoustic source mechanisms which does not appear with a single diaphragm. Depending on the configuration, the broadband level can increase by more than 10 dB and feedback phenomena can appear at low frequency. Explanations and illustrations of those phenomena are given thanks to compressible-fluid simulations.
