| Variable | Description | Non-dimensional |
|---|---|---|
| Do | Orifice diameter | _ |
| Dt | Tube diameter | DT/Do |
| to | Orifice plate thickness | to/Do |
| L1 | Upstream length | L1/Do |
| L2 | Downstream length | L2/Do |
| La | Absorption thickness | La/Do |
| Um | Mean flow velocity | Orifice Mach number (Mo = Um/c*) |

c denotes speed of sound at the laboratory temperature c = (γRT)0.5.
P0 denotes the reference pressure: P0 = 2 × 10−5 Pa.
