III.D Further Thermoacoustic Features

In this section we list all the thermoacoustic segment types for completeness. More details on each can be found in Chapter V.

STKCIrc
A stack with circular pores. We use this to model hexagonal honeycomb stacks.
STKSLab
A stack with parallel-plate geometry.
STKREct
A stack with rectangular (box) pore geometry.
STKPIns
A stack comprised of an array of pins parallel to x.
STKDUct
A stack with lateral dimensions much larger than , computed in boundary-layer approximation.
HXFRSt
A heat exchanger that comes before one of the STK segment types.
HXMIDl
A heat exchanger that comes between STK segments.
HXLASt
A heat exchanger that comes after a STK segment.
INSDUct
An insulated duct; the work dissipated in it shows up in the nearest heat exchanger.
INSCOne
An insulated cone; the work dissipated in it shows up in the nearest heat exchanger.
