结合CFD(Computational fluid dynamics)方法和FW-H(Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings)方程,建立了一套适合于悬停状态下共轴刚性双旋翼气动噪声特性计算方法。为了准确模拟共轴旋翼流场的涡干扰现象和非定常特性,基于运动嵌套网格技术与双时间推进方法,采用积分形式的可压雷诺平均Navier-Stokes(RANS)方程作为双旋翼非定常流场求解控制方程,湍流模型选用Baldwin-Lomax模型。通过Farassat 1A公式计算双旋翼气动噪声特性,每个声源微面的位置和载荷信息直接从桨叶表面网格中获取。然后,对水平面内和竖直面内观测点处共轴双旋翼厚度噪声、载荷噪声和总噪声的声压时间历程和频谱特性做了细致对比。模拟结果表明:上旋翼和下旋翼反向旋转的特点对声压时间历程影响显著,不同方向观察点的声压波形峰值对应的相位不同;共轴旋翼流场中存在的文丘里效应、桨-涡干扰现象以及下洗流的作用使得桨叶气动载荷呈现明显的非定常特征,导致共轴双旋翼的载荷噪声辐射强度较大;在低频段,总噪声受厚度噪声主导,而在高频段则受载荷噪声主导。      

Numerical solutions of the orbital equations for diatomic molecules

A basis of Hermite splines is used in conjunction with the collocation method to solve the orbital equations for diatomic molecules. Accurate solutions of the Hartree-Fock equations are obtained using iterative methods over most regions of space, while solving the equations by Gaussian elimination near the nuclear centres. In order to improve the speed and accuracy of our iterative scheme, a new self-adjoint form of the Hartree-Fock equation is derived. Using this new equation, our iterative subroutines solve the Hartree-Fock equations to one part in 10⁶. The Gaussian elimination routines are accurate to better than one part in 10⁸.     

Design of a reverberant chamber for noise exposure experiments with small animals

Previous work on the acoustic design of small reverberant chambers for studies on laboratory animals has paid, in general, more attention to the frequency response at certain points in their interior. These designs aimed to provide a frequency response as flat as possible at the receivers, thus avoiding unpleasant spectral coloration effects. However, an equally important, and frequently neglected, aspect is to set an acoustic field as spatially uniform as possible inside the zone where the animals are to be placed during the exposure to noise. Here, an optimization procedure is described to calculate the proportions of the chamber dimensions that confers the highest sound level with the minimum mean squared deviation averaged in a given area inside the chamber. In addition, new stimuli have been designed with a high-pass filtering and linear with frequency gain. These stimuli were intended to adapt the characteristics of the exposing noise to the rodent hearing spectrum, displaced toward higher frequencies than the hearing frequency band of humans.

An Exact Solution for Acoustic Simulation Based Transmission Loss Optimization of Double-Chamber Silencer

The optimization of the acoustic silencer volume is very important to develop it and to get high-performance, the importance of the silencer was appeared in industrial field to eliminate the noise of the duct by efficient and economical method. The main goal of this research is to optimize the transmission loss (TL) by analytical method of the Double-Chamber Silencer (DCS), the TL has been selected as the main parameter in silencer because it does not based on the source or the termination impedances. First we calculated the power transmission coefficient (PTC) and the TL of an acoustic silencer, then used the Lagrange method to optimize the silencer length. All calculation of silencer data is obtained by solving the governing equations in commercial software Matlab^®. A several calculations for different silencer length at many frequency ranges were performed simultaneously. Finally, this research supports the efficient and rapid techniques for DCS optimal design under narrow space. The results show that the acoustic TL is maximized at the desired frequency.     

Leak location in gas pipelines using cross-time–frequency spectrum of leakage-induced acoustic vibrations

The correlation-based location methods are widely used in leak detection of the pipelines assuming that the acoustic speed has been known and constant. In practice, the acoustic speed is frequency-varying due to the dispersions of gas-leak-induced acoustic waves, and thus the assumption is not supported. In this work, a location scheme based on cross-time–frequency spectrum (CTFS) is intended for the gas-leak-induced acoustic waves with frequency-varying acoustic speed. In the scheme, the CTFS is obtained by the one-dimensional Fourier transform of the time domain convolution between the kernel function in correlation domain and the instantaneous cross-correlation of the two spatially separately collected acoustic signals on either sides of a leakage. Then, the time difference of arrival (TDOA) and the corresponding frequency information are extracted simultaneously when the CTFS reaches the maximum value. The resulting peak frequency is used to online determine the frequency-dependant acoustic speed in combination with the known dispersive curve of gas-leak-induced dominated mode. Finally, the gas leakage is located by the TDOA and the frequency-dependant acoustic speed of real-time determination instead of constant acoustic speed. Consequently, for the proposed scheme, the constant acoustic speed is no longer a prerequisite. The proposed scheme has been experimentally validated in leak detection of gas pipelines and results demonstrate that the average relative location errors are reduced by six times compared with the commonly used correlation-based location method.     

Numerical inverse method predicting acoustic spinning modes radiated by a ducted fan from free-field test data

Spinning modes generated by a ducted turbofan at a given frequency determine the acoustic free-field directivity. An inverse method starting from measured directivity patterns is interesting in providing information on the noise sources without requiring tedious spinning-mode experimental analyses. According to a previous article, equations are based on analytical modal splitting inside a cylindrical duct and on a Rayleigh or a Kirchhoff integral on the duct exit cross section to get far-field directivity. Equations are equal in number to free-field measurement locations and the unknowns are the propagating mode amplitudes (there are generally more unknowns than equations). A MATLAB procedure has been implemented by using either the pseudoinverse function or the backslash operator. A constraint comes from the fact that squared modal amplitudes must be positive which involves an iterative least squares fitting. Numerical simulations are discussed along with several examples based on tests performed by Rolls-Royce in the framework of a European project. It is assessed that computation is very fast and it well fits the measured directivities, but the solution depends on the method and is not unique. This means that the initial set of modes should be chosen according to any known physical property of the acoustic sources.     

GA-based optimization of a MIMO ANC system considering coupling of secondary sources in a telephone kiosk

In this paper a multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) active noise control system with the aim of global reduction of broadband noise in a telephone kiosk is addressed. The model selected for this optimization problem is the acoustic environment of an enclosure taking into account the effect of coupling of secondary sources used for control purpose. This optimization involves finding the best locations for loudspeakers and microphones inside the enclosure as well as optimizing the control signals considering secondary source coupling.Previous results show that in order to be able to reduce acoustic noise globally inside the enclosure, the frequency range of 50-300 Hz must be selected for control purpose. The mean of acoustic potential energy of the enclosure, when excited in this frequency range, is adopted as a performance measure. This performance index is penalized with the power of the signal required to excite secondary loudspeakers, in order to avoid placements that may need high voltage power amplifier for a desired performance. To find the solution of this problem, i.e. the global minimum of the performance index, several genetic algorithms are proposed and compared. In order to attain the best achievable performance in reaching the global minimum, the parameters of these genetic algorithms are tuned, and used for optimization purpose. Numerical simulations of the acoustical potential energy as well as the sound pressure at different heights of the kiosk, when active noise control (ANC) system operates, confirm the optimality of the locations proposed by the genetic algorithm.     

COMBINATION OF FINITE AND BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHODS IN INVESTIGATION AND PREDICTION OF LOAD-CONTROLLED NOISE OF POWER TRANSFORMERS

A recently developed calculation scheme for the computer modelling of the load-controlled noise of oil-insulated three-phase power transformers is presented. This modelling scheme allows the precise and efficient computation of the coupled electromagnetic, mechanical and acoustic fields. The equations are solved using the finite element method (FEM) as well as the boundary element method (BEM), resulting in a separation of the calculation of the winding and tank surface vibrations (using FEM) and the computation of the acoustic free-field radiation (using BEM). The complex dynamic behaviour of the loaded transformer can then be studied and, furthermore, an appropriate computer-aided design including an investigation and optimization of design parameters can be established.The validity of the computer simulations has been verified by means of appropriate measurements. Simulated and measured values for winding and tank surface vibrations as well as sound power levels of the loaded transformer are found to be in good agreement. The applicability of the calculation scheme with respect to the computer-aided design of power transformers is demonstrated by reporting two practical applications: the influence of the stiffness of winding supports and the influence of the tap changer positions.     

NOISE GENERATED BY A COANDA WALL JET CIRCULATION CONTROL DEVICE

An analysis is made of the production of sound by a hydrofoil with a Coanda wall jet circulation control (CC-) device. Three principal sources are identified in the vicinity of the trailing edge of the hydrofoil. The radiation at very low frequencies is dominated by “curvature noise” generated by the interaction of boundary layer turbulence with the rounded trailing edge of the CC-hydrofoil; this is similar in character and magnitude to the low-frequency component of the conventional trailing edge noise produced by a hydrofoil of the same chord, but with a sharp trailing edge. Higher frequency sound is produced principally at the Coanda jet slot. “Passive slot noise” is caused by the “scattering” by the slot lip of nearfield pressure fluctuations in the turbulent boundary layer of the exterior mean flow past the slot. This is of comparable intensity to high frequency, sharp-edged trailing edge noise. However, the acoustic spectrum is greatly extended to much higher frequencies if the Coanda jet is turbulent; the sound produced by the interaction of this turbulence with the lip tends to dominate the spectrum at frequencies f (Hz) greater than about U_j/h, where h is the slot width and U_jthe Coanda jet speed. Sample numerical results are presented for a typical underwater application that indicate that at this and higher frequencies the slot noise can be 20 dB or more greater than conventional trailing edge noise, although the differences become smaller as the thickness of the slot lip increases.     

Noise performance of a feed-forward scheme for carrier-envelope phase stabilization

The noise performance of a feed-forward scheme for carrier-envelope phase stabilization is discussed. This scheme uses an acousto-optic frequency shifter to directly correct for fluctuations of the carrier-envelope phase in a pulse train emitted by a mode-locked laser without manipulating the intracavity dispersion. Generation of zero-offset frequency combs is demonstrated. Furthermore, it is shown that pump laser noise has only a minor effect on the achievable performance. Limited only by the travel time of the acoustic wave in the shifter, pump laser noise can be corrected up to near-megahertz frequencies, which yields superior noise performance compared to traditional feedback operation. Residual phase jitters down to 45 mrad are experimentally verified.

Noises generated by nonlinear autoregression

A nonlinear generalization of autoregressive scheme of first order is suggested as approximate model for 1/f^k noises. The iterative generation makes use of reducing function instead of a constant. Computer simulations – carried out over three decades of frequency – have demonstrated that there is such a family of these functions that to any function of the family there exists a unique value of standard deviation of white noise source such that the noise generated by the iterative scheme has the spectral factor k ≈ 1. Implications of the results for understanding the origin, structural stability and ubiquity of 1/f noise are discussed.     

Application of RANS-based method to predict acoustic noise of chevron nozzles

Passive noise control devices for jet flows, such as chevron nozzles, have been studied for a long time due to their large application in turbofan engines. The main purpose of their usage is the reduction of low-frequency noise generation and thus decreasing the noise perceived at the far field. This work is a numerical study of acoustic noise generated by jet flow operating at Mach number 0.9 and Reynolds number 1.38 × 10⁶, considering two chevron nozzle geometries that differ from each other by the penetration angle into the flow. The main aim was to demonstrate that Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes (RANS)-based methods are reliable means to obtain acoustical noise predictions for the industry with a considerably low computational cost. In order to achieve this objective, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) RANS simulations were performed with a cubic k-ɛ model and the acoustic noise spectrum for different angles of radiation was obtained via the Lighthill ray-tracing (LRT) method. The numerical results for the acoustic and flow fields were seen to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental data, suggesting that this methodology can be used as a fast and useful option to predict acoustic noise of jet flows from chevron nozzles.     

Simulation study on active noise control for a 4-T MRI scanner

The purpose of this work is to study computationally the possibility of the application of a hybrid active noise control technique for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acoustic noise reduction. A hybrid control system combined with both feedforward and feedback loops embedded is proposed for potential application on active MRI noise reduction. A set of computational simulation studies were performed. Sets of MRI acoustic noise emissions measured at the patient's left ear location were recorded and used in the simulation study. By comparing three different control systems, namely, the feedback, the feedforward and the hybrid control, our results revealed that the hybrid control system is the most effective. The hybrid control system achieved approximately a 20-dB reduction at the principal frequency component. We concluded that the proposed hybrid active control scheme could have a potential application for MRI scanner noise reduction.     

The effect of turbulence damping on acoustic wave propagation in tubes

The attenuation of sound due to the interaction between a low Mach number turbulent boundary layer and acoustic waves can be significant at low frequencies or in narrow tubes. In a recent publication by the present authors the acoustics of charge air coolers for passenger cars has been identified as an interesting application where turbulence attenuation can be of importance. Favourable low-frequency damping has been observed that could be used for control of the in-duct sound that is created by the engine gas exchange process. Analytical frequency-dependent models for the eddy viscosity that controls the momentum and thermal boundary layers are available but are restricted to thin acoustic boundary layers. For cases with cross-sections of a few millimetres a model based on thin acoustic boundary layers will not be applicable in the frequency range of interest.In the present paper a frequency-dependent axis-symmetric numerical model for interaction between turbulence and acoustic waves is proposed. A finite element scheme is used to formulate the time harmonic linearized convective equations for conservation of mass, momentum and energy into one coupled system of equations. The turbulence is introduced with a linear model for the eddy viscosity that is added to the shear viscosity. The proposed model is validated by comparison with experimental data from the literature.     

Design, simulation and structural optimization of a longitudinal acoustic resonator for trace gas detection using laser photoacoustic spectroscopy (LPAS)

The design of the acoustic resonator is critical for the optimization of the sensitivity of laser photoacoustic spectroscopy (LPAS) in trace gas detection applications. In this paper, an LC circuit model is used for the simulation of a 1D acoustic resonator. This acoustic resonator is designed for CO photoacoustic spectroscopy. The effects of the structural parameters, quality factor and resonant frequency on the performance of the device are theoretically analyzed. The role of the buffer volume as an acoustic filter is investigated and optimized dimensions of the buffer volume, to achieve minimum noise transmission coefficient, are calculated. The effects of the ambient temperature, variety of pressure and gas flow velocity on the resonant frequency of photoacoustic resonator and PA signal are simulated. The temperature dependence of the microphone sensitivity is also introduced.
