Abstract
The acoustic metamaterial in the form of a petal-shaped channel embedded Helmholtz resonator (P-CEHR) is proposed for perfect sound absorption. According to theoretical predictions, numerical simulations, and experiments, the P-CEHR achieves perfect low-frequency (e.g., 200 Hz) sound absorption across a deep subwavelength thickness (e.g., 1/34 of the corresponding acoustic wavelength). Compared with the circular-shaped channel embedded Helmholtz resonator, the sound absorption peak and bandwidth of P-CEHR are significantly improved (e.g., increased by 20.9% and 60.0%, respectively) under fixed overall dimensions. Physically, the introduction of the petal shape changes the fluid dynamic characteristics of the channel, resulting in the periodic distribution of particle velocity along the circumferential direction and the expansion of the area of the viscous boundary layer. By adjusting the morphology of the embedded channel, the tortuosity ratio and the relative static flow resistance of the channel can be regulated appropriately, so that the resonator can meet the acoustic impedance matching condition and achieve excellent sound absorption performance. This work provides a method for improving the performance of acoustic absorption metamaterials with built-in air channels and has guiding significance for the control of low-frequency noise.
