Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of acoustic supersurfaces, in particular to a gradient acoustic supersurface model. Background Art

[0002] Acoustic metasurface is a low-dimensional acoustic metamaterial structure, which is generally composed of multiple microstructure units arranged in a special sequence to form a planar metamaterial system with subwavelength thickness. It can flexibly and effectively control the amplitude, phase, polarization and propagation mode of longitudinal waves, and has great potential and broad application prospects.

[0003] In the prior art, the research on acoustic metasurfaces is mainly in the form of simple folded space or designed resonant cavity, mainly including the following models:

[0004] (1) An acoustic metasurface model composed of a group of meta-atoms with a thickness of about 1 / 100 wavelength. Each structure contains a group of membranes and a cavity filled with air, which can achieve high-efficiency sound transmission between water and air. Based on this acoustic metasurface model, a special acoustic metasurface phase compensation method can be used to realize the design of an acoustic stealth cloak.

[0005] (2) The aeroacoustic metasurface model with a single port opening and closing has good sound absorption effect in the low frequency range;

[0006] (3) Ultra-thin labyrinth-type acoustic metamaterials based on curling theory can achieve the control of sound transmission and the amplitude and phase of the acoustic wavefront;

[0007] The above acoustic metasurface models have the advantage of being simple to manufacture. However, this type of acoustic metasurface model is extremely dependent on the parameters of the folded space structure, and the calculation and simulation process is relatively complicated, making it difficult to expand to the underwater field with water as the background medium. Moreover, the sound wave reflection control model is mostly seen in media with air as the background medium. It is urgent to propose an acoustic metasurface model that can perform underwater reflected sound wave control. Summary of the invention

[0019] The medium height h2 of the second uniform medium unit is 0.15m;

[0020] The medium height h3 of the third uniform medium unit is 0.1 m;

[0021] The medium height h4 of the fourth uniform medium unit is 0.05 m.

[0022] The fifth uniform dielectric unit covering the bottom of the second uniform dielectric unit has a dielectric height h 5a 0.05m;

[0023] The fifth uniform dielectric unit covering the bottom of the third uniform dielectric unit has a dielectric height h 5b 0.1m;

[0024] The fifth uniform dielectric unit covering the bottom of the fourth uniform dielectric unit has a dielectric height h 5c It is 0.15m.

[0028] The impedance Z4 of the fourth uniform dielectric unit is 1.54×10 6 Pa·s / m;

[0029] The impedance Z5 of the fifth uniform dielectric unit is 16.9×10 6 Pa·s / m.

[0030] The partition is made of steel, the width p of the partition is in the range of 0.005m-0.025m, and the height h6 of the partition is 0.2m.

[0031] The bottom plate is made of steel, and the thickness t of the bottom plate is 0.025m.

[0032] The cross-sectional shapes of the first uniform dielectric unit, the second uniform dielectric unit, the third uniform dielectric unit, the fourth uniform dielectric unit, the fifth uniform dielectric unit and the partition are all rectangular.

[0033] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0034] The present invention has a compact and reasonable structure and is easy to operate. By adjusting the relationship between the period width and wavelength of the gradient acoustic metasurface model, the angle of underwater sound wave reflection can be effectively controlled. The variable parameters are small and the control is simple and effective, providing a new design guidance direction for ship stealth design.

[0089] According to Snell's law, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, that is, when the angle of incidence is 0, the theoretical angle of reflection is 0°;

[0090] According to the generalized Snell's law, the angle of scattered sound waves generated by the gradient acoustic metasurface model can be theoretically calculated, that is,

[0091] The theoretical calculation formula for the scattering angle at any angle of incidence is θ r =arcsin(sinθ i +λ / d),

[0092] In the above formula, θ r Indicates the scattering angle of sound waves;

[0093] θ i represents the incident angle of the sound wave;

[0094] λ represents the wavelength of the sound wave;

[0095] d represents the period width of the gradient acoustic metasurface model, and in this embodiment, d=0.6m;

[0096] The theoretical calculation formula of the scattering angle can be transformed into θ r =arcsin(λ / d), according to which the theoretical scattering angle of the gradient acoustic metasurface model in this embodiment can be calculated to be 30°;

[0097] The simulation calculation is performed using COMSOL Multiphysics software, such as Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the upper boundary of the gradient acoustic metasurface model is located at x=0, and the plane acoustic wave is incident on the gradient acoustic metasurface model from the upper boundary and exits from the upper boundary;

[0098] according to Figure 6-Figure 8 It can be seen that for the vertically incident plane wave, the outgoing sound wave has an obvious deviation, which proves that the sound wave has an abnormal reflection phenomenon on the surface of the gradient acoustic metasurface model of this embodiment, and the scattering angle obtained by simulation is 30°;

[0099] The simulation value is in good agreement with the theoretical value. Therefore, the gradient acoustic metasurface model of this embodiment can realize arbitrary control of the angle of underwater reflected sound waves.
