声波作用下铜球传热特性实验*

针对频率为500 Hz～3000 Hz和声压级为110 d B～133 d B的声场作用对铜球在空气中自然冷却的传热特性的影响,通过热电偶测温的方法,分析铜球温度梯度的分布与声场声压级、频率以及铜球直径的关系。结果表面,当频率f一定时,随着声压级的增加,铜球的传热效果得到明显增强,对于直径为5 mm的铜球,在133 d B声场中传热系数最大增加了25%。当声压级一定时,在频率范围中存在某一频率,此时铜球的传热系数最大,此特殊频率随着声压级的增大而增大。当铜球的直径为5 mm时,可以在低频段观测到声流效应的影响,而当铜球的直径为10 mm、15mm时,很难在低频段辨别出声流效应的影响。所得结论为声波应用于电站锅炉中,强化煤颗粒燃烧提供了依据。

利用声辐射模态重构任意目标的散射声场

水下目标散射声场的重构可以作为水下目标散射特性的研究基础。本文主要利用声辐射模态对水下目标进行散射声场重构研究。首先,在借助声传递矩阵给出的任意结构声辐射模态的流体域求解方法基础上,通过理论证明了目标的散射声压与声辐射模态具有函数关系。其次,借助声场分布模态的概念,同时考虑到声场分布模态病态及声压测量易受噪声污染,提出基于声辐射模态的正则化散射声场重构算法。仿真结果表明,波数越低,重构所需声辐射模态阶数越少,在较高波数时仅需总模态数的大约20%即可对声场进行重构。与基于边界元的声场重构算法相比,计算量减小了至少80%,且克服了赫姆霍兹积分方程最小二乘法仅对球壳结构的重构效果较好而不适用于长条形结构重构的缺陷。

Effects of acoustic source and filtering on time-of-flight measurements

Time-of-flight (TOF) measurements are valuable in the estimation of distances, displacements and velocities of moving objects, phase differences of wave pulses, temperature of the atmosphere, and so on. The effects of sound source on time-of-flight measurements have been investigated in this paper. The sound sources considered are: electric horn, impact noise source, aerodynamic noise from a free jet, and the Hartmann whistle. The focus of the present study is to highlight the advantage of using Hartmann whistle for TOF measurements as this device is simple and attractive, without any moving parts. Time-of-flight of sound waves is calculated by cross-correlating the signals received by two microphones. Further, the effect of signal filtering on TOF measurements is demonstrated. The results indicate that the sound source has considerable effect on TOF measurements, and the accuracy can be significantly enhanced by appropriate signal conditioning. Hartmann whistle proves to be a good candidate as an acoustic source for TOF measurement.     

Acoustic characteristics of chamfered Hartmann whistles

Experimental studies are conducted to investigate the effect of internal chamfer at the mouth of Hartmann resonators. Studies involve a range of nozzle pressure ratios from 4 to 6, and chamfer angles 15°, 30°, and 45°. Further, the effects of cavity length and stand-off distance are also considered. The spectra, directivity, and acoustic power characteristics are studied in detail. Detailed numerical simulations are carried out to capture the flow oscillations inside as well as at the outside of the mouth of the chamfered cavities. Computations show flow diversion in chamfered cavities and explain the shift in the directivity observed experimentally. The fundamental frequency of cavities with 15° and 30° chamfers is observed to be higher than that of regular cavities. Resonance is intensified by the presence of chamfer resulting in higher overall sound pressure levels of chamfered whistles. Thus, chamfered Hartmann whistles are found to emit more than twice the acoustic power of a regular cylindrical whistle. The tonal quality of sound is analyzed using a new metric termed as “resonance index”.

Down-mixing of multi-channel audio for sound field reproduction based on spatial covariance

This article describes a method for automatic down-mixing multi-channel audio content on the basis of spatial covariance. Such a down-mixing method should be able to convert the signal of the original multi-channel audio system into that for an alternative system with the lesser number of channels, while maintaining the spatial impression of sound. Moreover, it should take into account the listener’s position and transfer function. Wave surface control and convolving the head related transfer function are techniques used in sound field control or reproduction. We consider that the spatial impressions of a sound field, which we perceive through our ears, are reproduced by preserving the relative relationship between observation points even if the wave surface is not completely controlled. Takahashi et al. proposed a new sound field reproduction method that we named “SOund field Reproduction based on sPAtial Covariance” (SORPAC). SORPAC can control the point-to-point covariance in a sound field. We expect that this sound field reproduction method based on spatial covariance can be applied to down-mixing of multi-channel content because SORPAC does not require the listener’s position or transfer function. This article describes SORPAC and its characteristics. We used SORPAC for down-mixing audio content. We confirmed that SORPAC-based down-mixing could accurately reproduce the interaural cross correlation (IACC) in relation to the listener’s position.     

Neural time and movement time in choice of whistle or pulse burst responses to different auditory stimuli by dolphins

Echolocating dolphins emit trains of clicks and receive echoes from ocean targets. They often emit each successive ranging click about 20 ms after arrival of the target echo. In echolocation, decisions must be made about the target--fish or fowl, predator or food. In the first test of dolphin auditory decision speed, three bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) chose whistle or pulse burst responses to different auditory stimuli randomly presented without warning in rapid succession under computer control. The animals were trained to hold pressure catheters in the nasal cavity so that pressure increases required for sound production could be used to split response time (RT) into neural time and movement time. Mean RT in the youngest and fastest dolphin ranged from 175 to 213 ms when responding to tones and from 213 to 275 ms responding to pulse trains. The fastest neural times and movement times were around 60 ms. The results suggest that echolocating dolphins tune to a rhythm so that succeeding pulses in a train are produced about 20 ms over target round-trip travel time. The dolphin nervous system has evolved for rapid processing of acoustic stimuli to accommodate for the more rapid sound speed in water compared to air.     

Who is whistling? Localizing and identifying phonating dolphins in captivity

Acoustic communication through whistles is well developed in dolphins. However, little is known on how dolphins are using whistles because localizing the sound source is not an easy task. In the present study, the hyperbola method was used to localize the sound source using a two-hydrophone array. A combined visual and acoustic method was used to determine the identity of the whistling dolphin. In an aquarium in Mexico City where two adult bottlenose dolphins were housed we recorded 946 whistles during 22 days. We found that a dolphin was located along the calculated hyperbola for 72.9% of the whistles, but only for 60.3% of the whistles could we determine the identity of the whistling dolphin. However, sometimes it was possible to use other cues to identify the whistling dolphin. It could be the animal that performed a behavior named “observation” at the time whistling occurred or, when a whistle was only recorded on one channel, the whistling dolphin could be the animal located closest to the hydrophone that captured the whistle. Using these cues, 15.4% of the whistles were further ascribed to either dolphin to obtain an overall identification efficiency of 75.7%. Our results show that a very simple and inexpensive acoustic setup can lead to a reasonable number of identifications of the captive whistling dolphin: this is the first study to report such a high rate of whistles identified to the free swimming, captive dolphin that produced them. Therefore, we have a data set with which we can investigate how dolphins are using whistles. This method can be applied in other aquaria where a small number of dolphins is housed; though, the actual efficiency of this method will depend on how often dolphins spend time next to each other and on the reverberation conditions of the pool.

An inversion modelling method to obtain the acoustic power of the noise sources in a large factory

A common problem for large factories that wish to decrease their environmental acoustic impact on neighbouring locations is to find out the acoustic power of every noise source. As these factories cannot stop their activity in order to measure each source individually, a procedure is needed to obtain the acoustic powers with the factory under normal operating conditions. Their contribution to the overall sound pressure level at each neighbouring location can then be found and it is possible to calculate the improvements obtained after any modification of the sources. In this paper an inversion modelling method is used to do so. Acoustic powers are obtained by means of field sound pressure level measurements and with the use of a sound propagation software. A careful analysis of the solution has been carried out by simulating errors on the measured data in order to detect possible correlations between the acoustic power of different sources and avoid misleading interpretations of the results. The whole methodology has been applied to a liquid-gas production factory.
