Laminar Flow

The term Laminar Flow is typically found used in the field of Fluid Dynamics wherein a fluid of higher viscosity flows smoothly along a channel. The fluid flowing near the center of the channel moves with the highest velocity, and predictably decreases as it approaches the channel walls.
During our thirty years of research and development we’ve discovered that a very important aspect of sound wave behavior is that it, when left to freely develop, will travel along wall surfaces in laminar flow patterns or tendency. As sound waves of varying frequencies impact a surface the wave’s natural response is to reflect back into the space and if it’s a singular sonic event it will do just that. However, if there are multiple sustained sound waves continuously impacting the surface the oncoming waves force reflected waves along the wall surface creating laminar flow conditions for a large portion of the energy. At laminar flow conditions, there is a linear relationship between pressure drop and flow velocity. This is true in fluid dynamics and partially true in sound wave behavior however, across the sound spectrum frequencies differ in physical size and also travel at rates through the air or along surfaces at different rates. This means, as it relates to drops in pressure, it does happen in the laminar flow of sound energy but not always at a constant rate.
We have determined that depending on the sound pressure levels we’re able to control and contain the laminar energy in specific areas or pressure zones with a proprietary technology known as Halo Barricade Control. This approach or method of acoustic control is very effective and provides us the opportunity for custom solutions specific to a client’s surroundings or decor giving us the ability to hide or build in the control in such a way as to be less noticeable or hidden entirely in some cases. Another key element to the end result of Halo Barricade Control is that it controls the excess energy without over dampening the space or leaving it unnaturally dead. This is often times the end result when utilizing the direct dampening method of control.
