管道模态波入射下HQ管降噪机理研究

随着涡扇发动机风扇直径增大转速降低,低频噪声控制问题引发格外关注。HQ管作为一种抗性降噪结构,在低频段拥有良好的降噪效果。本文首先建立了带HQ管的管道风扇噪声数值模型,并对声传播特性进行了细致的仿真分析,获得了与前期实验数据对比一致性良好的预测结果。最后通过不同HQ管排布螺旋角下降噪效果和声模态分解结果的对比分析,对HQ管降噪机理进行了探讨,发现HQ管对模态波降噪的主要模式是模态的反射与散射,并且不同于将入射模态散射为截止模态的传统认知,将入射模态散射为不占优的可传播模态可以大幅削弱占优模态的幅值,同样具有较为明显的降噪效果。

轴向掠是叶片的径向成型方法之一.本文基于Fluent软件分别对具有前10°、后掠10°和径向0°动叶的三种风扇模型进行了定常流场和非定常流场的数值模拟,然后基于FW-H积分完成了风扇流动噪声的远场辐射计算,研究动叶的轴向掠对小尺寸轴流风扇气动与声学性能的影响.结果表明,前掠叶片和后掠叶片使风扇的全压在大流量工作区域低于0°径向风扇,内效率也略有降低.在气动声学性能方面,研究结果表明前掠不利于本文所研究的微型轴流风扇气动噪声的抑制,但后掠动叶降低了风扇的噪声,相比径向风扇,后掠风扇的远场噪声总声压级约下降1. dB.

多翼离心风机叶片短、流道窄,叶轮出口流速分布不均,引起叶轮与蜗壳干涉作用加剧。本文探讨流场与声场非定常耦合机理,根据声类比理论分析其偶极子声源产生的气动噪声。利用直接边界元声学求解方法建立以蜗壳为界的内外声学模型,分析蜗壳对声传播的散射作用,内部噪声通过蜗壳的进出口传播到风机外部。结果表明:从监测点声压级频谱及A计权声压级分布观察,声压级分布在低频段呈宽频分布,在基频与其倍频处出现波峰并呈逐渐衰减趋势,说明该多翼离心风机气动噪声受叶片周期性旋转压力脉动影响较大。对比噪声测试结果,相对误差为2%以内,分析计算与试验相符。     

重放自由场虚拟源距离信息的动态双耳Ambisonics方法

双耳重放的目标之一是在耳机重放中产生不同方向和距离的虚拟源感知。本文研究了动态双耳Ambisonics重放自由场虚拟源方向和距离信息的简化信号处理方法。该信号处理方法包括两步:第1步是基于目标声场的球谐函数分解,合成采用扬声器的近场Ambisonics重放中逐级重构目标声场的信号;第2步是采用虚拟扬声器重放的方法,用动态头相关函数滤波处理将Ambisonics的扬声器重放信号转换为双耳重放信号并用耳机重放。进一步研究了动态双耳Ambisonics的阶数对定位效果的影响,为简化信号处理提供依据。对重放产生的双耳声压分析表明,5阶动态双耳Ambisonics重放足以提供听觉方向定位和距离感知的重要信息。同时心理声学的实验结果表明,结合声源距离相关的响度因素,5阶动态双耳Ambisonics重放可产生不同方向和1.0 m以下不同近场距离的自由场虚拟源的听觉感知。本文的方法仅需要固定距离的48个均匀空间方向的远场非个性化HRTF处理,实现了信号处理的简化。

Near-field characteristics of the parametric loudspeaker using ultrasonic transducers

A parametric speaker is a device for generating and focusing highly directional sound beams. It is essentially a by-product that comes with the nonlinearity of ultrasound. It is noteworthy that this directional beam was controlled and utilized mostly for far-field applications in the past. We empirically study the directivity and attenuation characteristics of the parametric loudspeaker in the near-field where we desire to use it. Physical parameters for experiments are imported from a theoretical model based on the far-field approximation. The findings are that increases in aperture size and modulation frequency cause higher directivity, but have more than twice the beamwidth of the far-field approximation. The attenuation also does not obey the inverse-square law which describes far-field spreading from acoustic sources. The results conclusively explain a series of formation and attenuation of the virtual sound sources and define limitations of use in the near-field.     

Distance rendering and perception of nearby virtual sound sources with a near-field filter model

Headphone rendering of nearby virtual sound sources represents to date an open issue in 3-D audio, due to a number of technical challenges and temporal requirements involved in the measurement of individual Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs). In order to tackle this problem, we propose a filter model of near-field effects based on the Distance Variation Function (Kan et al., 2009). Thanks to its simple structure and low order, the model can be applied to any far-field virtual auditory display to yield a realistic and computationally efficient near-field compensation of spectral and binaural effects. The model is subjectively evaluated in two psychophysical experiments where the relative distance of pairs of virtually rendered sound sources is judged. Results show that even though sound intensity overshadows subtler near-field effects when it is available as a cue for distance, the model is capable of offering relative distance information of near lateral virtual sources when intensity cues are removed. Furthermore, performances of the model in relative distance rendering are compared to those of alternative near-field rendering methods available in the literature.     

Design and validation on a multiple sound source fast-measurement system of near-field head-related transfer functions

Near-field head-related transfer functions(HRTFs) are essential to scientific researches of binaural hearing and practical applications of virtual auditory display. High efficiency, accuracy and repeatability are required in a near-field HRTF measurement. Hence,there is no reference which intents on solving the measuring difficulties of near-field HRTF for human subjects. In present work, an efficient near-field HRTF measurement system based on computer control is designed and implemented, and a fast calibration method for the system is proposed to first solve the measurement of near-field HRTF for human subjects. The efficiency of measurement is enhanced by a comprehensive design on the acoustic, electronic and mechanical parts of the system. And the accuracy and repeatability of the measurement are greatly improved by carefully calibrating the positions of sound source, subject and binaural microphones.This system is suitable for near-field HRTF measurement at various source distances within 1.0 m, for both human subject and artificial head. The time costs of HRTF measurement at a single sound source distance and full directions has been reduced to less than 20 minutes. The measurement results indicate that the accuracy of the system satisfies the actual requirements.The system is applicable to scientific research and can be used to establish an individualized near-field HRTF database for human subjects.     

近场头相关传输函数的多声源快速测量系统设计与验证

近场头相关传输函数(HRTF)是双耳听觉科学研究和虚拟听觉重放应用的重要基础数据。近场HRTF测量系统要求具有高的测量效率、精度和重复性,以至于目前未见文献解决真人受试者的近场HRTF测量困难。本文研究并实现了一种计算机控制的近场HRTF的高效测量系统,并提出系统的快速校准方法,首先实现了真人受试者的近场HRTF测量。通过声学、机械与电子硬件和软件的综合设计,提高了测量效率。通过准确校准声源、受试者和双耳传声器的位置,提高了测量精确度和重复性。系统可用于1.0 m范围内不同声源距离的真人受试者以及人工头的近场HRTF测量,单个声源距离的全空间近场HRTF测量时间减少至20 min以内。测量结果表明,系统测量精度满足实际需求,可用于科学研究和个性化近场HRTF测量及数据库建立。      

双声源位置和强度识别的三维声强方法

目前在远场识别声源空间位置和强度缺乏行之有效的方法。针对此问题,提出采用四传声器进行三维声强测量,从而构建出声强、声源坐标和声功率的非车线性方程组,求解方程得出声源空间坐标和强度的方法。以3个三维声强探头对两个同频率单极子声源的识别为例,分别利用数值仿真和半消声室内的实验进行方法验证,并对声源的识别空间分辨率做了测试,得出角度识别最大误差为3.83°,为真实值的8.5%,距离识别最大误差0.1 m,为真实距离的10%。结果表明采用该方法空间坐标和声功率识别均具有很高的准确度,双声源的空间位置分辨力也优于远场声全息方法。      

稳态和动态虚拟听觉重放对近场距离感知的影响*

虚拟听觉重放是研究距离感知的一种重要工具,它可分为传统的稳态虚拟听觉重放和动态虚拟听觉重放。然而,稳态虚拟听觉重放经常会产生头中定位而影响距离感知的判断,从而影响最终的实验结果。过去的实验大多采用稳态虚拟听觉重放,因此其结论也存在较大的争议性结论。本文对比研究稳态和动态的虚拟听觉重放对绝对距离感知效果的影响。实验采用非个性化HRTF进行双耳合成,将分布在水平面0.20 m至1.00 m的七个距离、0°至180°的七个方位角下的信号通过耳机进行虚拟重放。心理声学实验结果表明,在稳态虚拟听觉重放条件下,受试者不同程度地报告了存在头中定位。而动态虚拟听觉重放系统能够利用动态因素,从而产生头外化的听觉感知。统计分析表明动态虚拟听觉重放下的距离感知效果与稳态重放存在明显的差异。由于动态虚拟重放更接近真实声源的感知效果,应选用这种方法作为实验工具。同时,在实际的空间声应用中,也应该采用动态虚拟听觉重放产生不同的距离感知。     

Effect of Sound Source Scattering on Measurement of Near-Field Head-Related Transfer Functions

A simple spherical head and pulsating spherical sound source model are proposed to investigate the effect of multiple scattering between the head and the sound source on near-field head-related transfer function (HRTF) measurement. Multipole expansion method is used to calculate HRTFs of the model, then the relationships among the magnitude error of HRTF with frequency, source direction, source size, and the distance between the head centre and the sound source are analysed. The results show that to ensure the magnitude error of HRTF within 1.0dB up to 20kHz, for source distance not less than 0.15m or 0.20m, the radius of the sound source should not exceed 0.03m or 0.05m, respectively. The conclusion suggests an appropriate size of sound source in near-field HRTF measurement.     

The effects of spatial separation in distance on the informational and energetic masking of a nearby speech signal

Although many studies have shown that intelligibility improves when a speech signal and an interfering sound source are spatially separated in azimuth, little is known about the effect that spatial separation in distance has on the perception of competing sound sources near the head. In this experiment, head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) were used to process stimuli in order to simulate a target talker and a masking sound located at different distances along the listener's interaural axis. One of the signals was always presented at a distance of 1 m, and the other signal was presented 1 m, 25 cm, or 12 cm from the center of the listener's head. The results show that distance separation has very different effects on speech segregation for different types of maskers. When speech-shaped noise was used as the masker, most of the intelligibility advantages of spatial separation could be accounted for by spectral differences in the target and masking signals at the ear with the higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). When a same-sex talker was used as the masker, the intelligibility advantages of spatial separation in distance were dominated by binaural effects that produced the same performance improvements as a 4-5-dB increase in the SNR of a diotic stimulus. These results suggest that distance-dependent changes in the interaural difference cues of nearby sources play a much larger role in the reduction of the informational masking produced by an interfering speech signal than in the reduction of the energetic masking produced by an interfering noise source.
