Abstract (en)

The process involves the insertion of at least one transducer into the wall of a pipe belonging to this circuit. The transducer causes the wall to vibrate, thus creating an active moving wall whose radial displacements are in phase opposition to the local acoustic pressure. This produces a condition in which the acoustic waves are not propagated so that waves coming from the pipe towards the transducer are reflected. <IMAGE>
