EN The paper presents a numerical analysis of pressure drop and acoustic attenuation performance (transmission loss) of two identical acoustic helicoidal resonators arranged in parallel ducts with different rotation angles. The air stream is divided from one cylindrical duct of a diameter D=140mm to a two parallel cylindrical ducts of diameter d=125mm with two helicoidal resonators inside – one per one duct. The ratio of helicoidal pitch s of helicoidal resonators to a cylindrical duct diameter d equals s/d=1,976. Other geometrical relationships of helicoidal resonators, as a mandrel diameter dm to duct diameter ratio dm/d=0.024, thickness g of helicoidal profile g/d=0.0024, and the number of helicoidal turn n=0,695 for both resonators. The investigated range of rotation angles covered the three characteristic positions of helicoidal resonators gaps, when considering the air stream distribution from central large duct with diameter D. The value of normal inflow velocity v[m/s] equaled 1 for all investigated cases.
