  • Patent number: 10662876
    Abstract: A turbomachine vane includes an electroacoustic source including two membranes fixed on a support arranged such that the membranes and the support delimit a first cavity. The membranes are arranged on two opposite sides of the first cavity between the two aerodynamic surfaces of the vane. A first of the aerodynamic surfaces includes a first region arranged facing a first of the membranes for the passage of acoustic waves. The membranes and membrane vibration device are configured such that the membranes vibrate in phase opposition and along a same emission direction by applying forces to the support such that the resultant force is approximately zero. The mechanical energy lost in the form of vane deformations due to membrane vibrations can thus be minimized.
