Abstract

The paper studies the propagation of sound in an elliptic duct, which is of considerable interest in the field of jet-engine noise reduction. The cutoff frequencies of the higher-order circumferential modes in an elliptic duct are calculated for various duct eccentricities. The results indicate that, if equal inlet area is retained, even major deformations of the inlet shape will have virtually no influence on the cutoff conditions of the radiated sound.
