Impedance
Use the Impedance condition to specify a specific (input) impedance on an exterior boundary. The impedance can be any expression and can, for example, be a function of the frequency (freq). The condition can be used to model a porous lining in a duct or specifying an outlet impedance. The condition is based on the Ingard-Myers condition, see Ref. 1 and About the Impedance Boundary Condition located in the Theory Background for the Aeroacoustics Branch section. The condition is a so-called low frequency approximation; the viscous boundary layer of the background flow is assumed infinitely thin at the impedance wall. Add this node from the Impedance Conditions submenu.
Impedance (Ingard-Myers)
Enter the value of the Specific impedance Zn (SI unit: Pa·s/m). This can be an analytical expression or data provided through an interpolation function. Click to select the Grazing flow conditions checkbox, if the impedance is at a boundary with no normal velocity component for the background flow, u0·n = 0. This simplifies the equations that are solved for in the boundary condition.

For systems with a trailing edge on an airfoil or with an edge singularity between a liner and a rigid wall, the exclude edges and points functionality can be used to set up an appropriate Kutta condition. See Suppressing Constraints on Lower Dimensions.
