Numerical and experimental investigation of the axi-symmetric fluid transportation device

A noise reducing apparatus in the form of a hollow body comprising two or more passage groups consisting of a plurality of passages. The length of each passage is determined such that the sound waves emitted from the passages of the adjacent passage groups form plane waves which are shifted by a half wavelength so that plane waves interfere each other. The apparatus can be secured to an opening of construction and reduce the level of sound pressure from a sound source without any closed shield construction surrounding the sound source.
