On the sound sources of screech tones radiated from choked circular jets

The generation mechanism of the screech tone in the helical oscillation mode is mainly investigated using a series of instantaneous schlieren photographs. From the photographs, five evanescent sound sources are observed as prominent points along the jet axis. The sound source for the dominant helical oscillation mode is found to be the second prominent point which moves along a circular orbit in a plane perpendicular to the jet axis and just downstream of the rear edge of the third shock cell. It is shown that the speed of a moving sound source is supersonic and that the Mach cone generated by the moving sound source forms the helical-shaped wave front of the screech tone for the helical oscillation mode of the jet. This idea of the moving sound source is well supported by a measured directionality of the screech tone. Sound sources of the other oscillation modes appearing in the other pressure ratio ranges are also described.     

Development and calibration of acoustic video camera system for moving vehicles

In this paper, a new acoustic video camera system is developed and its calibration method is established. This system is built based on binocular vision and acoustical holography technology. With binocular vision method, the spatial distance between the microphone array and the moving vehicles is obtained, and the sound reconstruction plane can be established closely to the moving vehicle surface automatically. Then the sound video is regenerated closely to the moving vehicles accurately by acoustic holography method. With this system, the moving and stationary sound sources are treated differently and automatically, which makes the sound visualization of moving vehicles much quicker, more intuitively, and accurately. To verify this system, experiments for a stationary speaker and a non-stationary speaker are carried out. Further verification experiments for outdoor moving vehicle are also conducted. Successful video visualization results not only confirm the validity of the system but also suggest that this system can be a potential useful tool in vehicle's noise identification because it allows the users to find out the noise sources by the videos easily. We believe the newly developed system will be of great potential in moving vehicles' noise identification and control.     

A note on moving multipole sources of sound

The object of this note is to draw attention to the need, when speaking of a moving multipole source of sound, to state whether it is based on the wave equation for the velocity potential or the wave equation for the perturbation pressure. The theory of moving multipole sources of sound is firmly established, but, owing to lack of precision, some seemingly contradictory results are to be found in the literature. The reasons for these seemingly contradictory results are examined, and various basic relationships between a moving multipole sound field and its method of generation are established.

Wave field synthesis of moving virtual sound sources with complex radiation properties

An approach to the synthesis of moving virtual sound sources with complex radiation properties in wave field synthesis is presented. The approach exploits the fact that any stationary sound source of finite spatial extent radiates spherical waves at sufficient distance. The angular dependency of the radiation properties of the source under consideration is reflected by the amplitude and phase distribution on the spherical wave fronts. The sound field emitted by a uniformly moving monopole source is derived and the far-field radiation properties of the complex virtual source under consideration are incorporated in order to derive a closed-form expression for the loudspeaker driving signal. The results are illustrated via numerical simulations of the synthesis of the sound field of a sample moving complex virtual source.

Acoustic pursuit of invisible moving targets by cats.

Head movements evoked by an invisible acoustic target were used as a metric to analyze localization of moving sources of sound in naive cats. The target was presented in the lateral sound field and moved along an arc at constant angular speeds. Head-movement trajectories were characterized by a large-magnitude orienting component that undershot the target, and a tracking component elicited by the target during acoustic pursuit. The tracking component was characterized by a succession of stepwise head movements that maintained a relatively close alignment of the median plane of the head with the moving acoustic target.     

Quantitative measurement of pass-by noise radiated by vehicles running at high speeds

It has been a challenge in the past to accurately locate and quantify the pass-by noise source radiated by the running vehicles. A system composed of a microphone array is developed in our current work to do this work. An acoustic-holography method for moving sound sources is designed to handle the Doppler effect effectively in the time domain. The effective sound pressure distribution is reconstructed on the surface of a running vehicle. The method has achieved a high calculation efficiency and is able to quantitatively measure the sound pressure at the sound source and identify the location of the main sound source. The method is also validated by the simulation experiments and the measurement tests with known moving speakers. Finally, the engine noise, tire noise, exhaust noise and wind noise of the vehicle running at different speeds are successfully identified by this method.

Image reconstruction of moving acoustic sound sources by temporal reference holography

The feasibility of applying temporal reference holography to detection of moving acoustic radiation sources are examined theoretically and experimentally. Temporal reference holography is proved to be used for the purpose if the width of amplitude spectrum of sound is within a certain range, because the point spread functions of temporal reference hologram coincide with amplitude spectra of sound waves used for recording them.     

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.     

On the simple-source theory of sound from statistical turbulence

A theory for the generation of aerodynamic sound, stated in terms of convected simple sources and dipoles, is presented. The sources are found to depend upon convective derivatives of the hydrodynamic pressure within the turbulent source region. The results are similar to earlier efforts involving simple sources, sometimes called dilatational sources. The results are modified for effects involving measurements on moving flows. The theory shows explicitly the refractive effects of shear flow within the source region, as well as of temperature changes (if any) within the source region. The oscillating cylinder problem is discussed and the results of the present theory are found to agree with those obtained by Lauvstad using a matched asymptotic expansion for the same problem. The theory is used to predict the temperature dependence of sound power for hot jets.Consultant for Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc.

Spectrogram and localization of a sound source in shallow water

The paper describes an approach to detecting a sound source and estimating the radial velocity and distance from the receiver, based on repeat Fourier transformation of the interference pattern formed during motion. The obtained spectrogram contains localized domains of the spectral density of single modes. We estimate the localization domain and spectral density distribution and discuss the resolution of moving sound sources. We present the results of a field experiment and consider the interference immunity of the approach for localizing a source using a single receiver.
