Nonlinear gas oscillations in pipes. II - ExperimentThe problem of forced acoustic oscillations in a pipe was experimentally investigated, taking into account the response of both open and closed tubes to near-resonant excitation by large amplitude oscillations of a piston at one end of the tube. Attention was given to the effect of the orifice area on shock waves. By comparing the experimental results with nonlinear theory, wave reflection coefficients of the orifice plates were determined at both closed-tube and open-tube resonant frequencies. This approach can even be used when the terminating elements are subjected to intense periodic pressure pulses.
