Abstract
One important factor in the efficiency of thermoacoustic engines is acoustic streaming, which causes convective heat transfer between high and low temperature reservoirs. Most experimental and numerical studies performed so far have focussed on Rayleigh streaming. Less work has been done on acoustic streaming due to stack. Most numerical studies of Rayleigh streaming were performed using Navier-Stokes based numerical methods. In this study, direct numerical simulations were performed using schemes based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Acoustic streaming in a simplified thermoacoustic refrigerator was modelled as a rectangular standing wave resonator with a flat plate. Low-amplitude results obtained for Rayleigh streaming velocity magnitudes were compared with linear acoustic theory for verification. High amplitude recirculated streaming flow structures around the edges of the flat plate spoiler were identified. These are likely to contribute to heat transfer much more than Rayleigh streaming. The results confirm that vertical edge streaming flows play a significant role in thermoacoustic heat transport.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
