Abstract

An acoustic device includes: a perforated plate that has a plurality of holes penetrating in a plate thickness direction of the perforated plate and in which a main flow is to flow on a first side of the perforated plate in the plate thickness direction; and a housing that is on a second side of the perforated plate in the plate thickness direction and partitions a space between the housing and the perforated plate, wherein a part of each of the plurality of holes on the first side in the thickness direction is inclined to at least one of the first side and a second side of a flow direction of the main flow.

Claims (28)

1. An acoustic device comprising:

a perforated plate that has a plurality of holes penetrating in a plate thickness direction of the perforated plate and in which a main flow is to flow on a first side of the perforated plate in the plate thickness direction; and

a housing that is on a second side of the perforated plate in the plate thickness direction and partitions a space between the housing and the perforated plate,

wherein:

the main flow is a combustion gas flow;

each of the plurality of holes is inclined from an upstream side toward a downstream side of a flow direction of the main flow while directed from the first side of the perforated plate toward the second side of the perforated plate in the plate thickness directions;

the perforated plate has an inner plate facing toward the first side in the plate thickness direction, the inner plate facing the main flow, and an outer plate stacked on the second side of the inner plate in the plate thickness direction; and

each of the plurality of holes includes:

an inner hole portion that penetrates the inner plate in the plate thickness direction and is inclined from the upstream side toward the downstream side of the flow direction of the main flow; and

an outer hole portion that aligns continuously with the inner hole portion to communicate with the inner hole portion, penetrates the outer plate in the plate thickness direction, and extends in the plate thickness direction.

2. The acoustic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein an opening size of the inner hole portion is larger than an opening size of the outer hole portion.

3. The acoustic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein an opening size of the inner hole portion is smaller than an opening size of the outer hole portion.

4. The acoustic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a convexo-concave shape is at least one of a convex portion or a concave portion and is formed on the upstream side of each of the plurality of holes on a surface of the perforated plate which is configured to be in contact with the main flow.

5. A gas turbine comprising:

a compressor configured to generate pressurized air;

a combustor configured to generate a combustion gas by mixing a fuel with the pressurized air and burning the fuel and the pressurized air which have been mixed;

the acoustic device according to claim 1 ; and

a turbine configured to be driven by the combustion gas,

wherein the acoustic device is mounted on the combustor.

6. The acoustic device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the convexo-concave shape is the concave portion, and the concave portion has a triangular cross section.

7. The acoustic device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the convexo-concave shape is the convex portion, and the convex portion has a semicircular cross section.

8. The acoustic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a Thermal Barrier Coating layer is on an inner surface of the inner plate which is a surface on the first side of the perforated plate in the plate thickness direction.
