Abstract:

This research program was concerned with an attempt to resolve the controversy surrounding the description of the vent of the T-burner. That controversy, whether there arises a gain or a loss of acoustic energy through the vent, is fundamental to an understanding of the evaluation of T-burner results. The research program was to have involved developing an improved analysis along with a small experimental program to verify that analysis. The program has been terminated. Author
