Abstract

The problem of the resonant response of a gas contained in a two-dimensional rectangular cavity to periodic (sinusoidal) velocity excitations at the walls of the cavity is investigated. It is found that in some neighbourhood of each resonant frequency there are discontinuous pressure disturbances (shock waves). The present theory is an extension of Chester's theory on resonances in closed tubes.
