Abstract

Many important areas of aircraft engine noise concern regimes where frequencies are sufficiently high that corresponding approximations can be made. At such frequencies modal populations are high and approximate methods based on modal averaging can be applied. In this paper the normalised variance of the deviation of the modecount from its average value is examined for circular ducts. Periodic orbit theory, first developed in quantum physics, is used to provide a value for this normalised variance is found and compared with numerical predictions. The implications for concentric and eccentric annular ducts are examined. It is shown that as eccentricity is varied eigenvalues show ‘avoided crossings’.
