Acoustic Nanowave Absorption through Clustered Carbon Nanotubes Conveying Fluid

Absorption of acoustic nanowave in specific frequency region is important for the design of acoustic filter. This paper puts forward a meta material model made up of fluid-conveying carbon nanotubes (CNT), which can absorb acoustic nanowave in a given frequency range by adjusting the lengths and fluid velocities of themselves. Absorption coefficients are calculated out through the combination of the finite element method with the theoretical model, which are 0.4∼0.55 relating to different fluid velocities for the crossing-distributed model. Comparisons are made between the crossed model and the aligned one, which prove that the CNT forest with crossed distribution is more effective in acoustic wave absorption.
