Multi-mode sound transmission in ducts with flow

Exhaust mufflers, large exhaust stacks, and turbofan engines are common examples of ducted noise. The most useful measure of the sound produced by these noise sources is the sound power transmitted along the duct. When airflow is present, sound power flow can no longer be uniquely determined from the usual measurements of acoustic pressure and particle velocity.One approach to sound power determination from in-duct pressure measurement, and the one discussed in this paper, is to predict the relationship between the sound power and pressure based upon an assumed mode amplitude distribution. This paper investigates the relationship between acoustic pressure and power for a family of idealized source distributions of arbitrary temporal and spatial order. Incoherent monopole and dipole sources uniformly distributed over a duct cross-section can be obtained as special cases. This paper covers the sensitivity of the pressure-power relationship to source multipole order, frequency and, in particular, flow speed. It is shown that the introduction of flow in a hard-walled duct can have a substantial effect on the behavior of the pressure-power relationship for certain source distributions. Preliminary experimental results in a no-flow facility are presented in order to verify some of the main results.     

Automated measuring system for sound power measurement

It is sometimes important to know the sound power radiated from a sound source so that, for example, the solution noise abatement can be carried out on the basis of the sound power radiated.Measurement of the sound power in general is carried out in a reverberant enclosure. This measuring method is classed as an indirect one in that the sound power is obtained via the sound pressure level. Consequently, in order to determine the sound power radiated as precisely as possible, some measurement procedures for obtaining the space-average sound pressure have been devised. However, the procedure, which involves moving the measuring microphone from point to point, is extremely tedious. Accordingly, if the system from data acquisition to data processing is automated, the work required for obtaining the space-average sound pressure will be considerably reduced, as will the time required for processing the data.The development of an automatic measuring system for sound power is discussed and it is shown that the sound power obtained with the system devised agrees well with that obtained by more familiar means.     

Active noise control in ducts: some physical insights

The mechanisms of active noise control in a duct are examined. Acoustical measurements are used to determine directly the acoustic power flow associated with both primary and secondary sources as a function of secondary to primary source strength ratio and volume velocity relative phase angles. A complete analytical model is also developed which allows calculation of individual source power flows and total downstream power flow as a function of source strengths and relative phase angles for finite size sources. It is evaluated for monopole and dual secondary source arrangements, but can be extended easily to any number of secondary sources. The model considers a finite size primary source in the plane of the duct cross section and evaluates the effect that the secondary sources have on the primary source power output. Measurements of individual source output powers and total downstream acoustic powers agree well with theoretical predictions. It is demonstrated that, for the monopole system, sound attenuation is achieved primarily by suppression of the primary source acoustic power output, with a little remaining power being absorbed by the secondary source. For the dual secondary source system, it is shown that the power is primarily absorbed by the secondary sources, but that, at phase and amplitude values slightly different to optimum, noise reduction is achieved by a combination of energy absorption and primary source power suppression. The analysis also demonstrates the dependence of the achievable noise reduction on secondary source size and location with respect to the primary source.     

Spectral estimation method for noisy data using a noise reference

The development of array processing methods to extract the useful characteristics of acoustic sources such as their locations and absolute levels, starting from the measured sound field is one of the main issues in aero-acoustics. The conventional beamforming method is a very popular technique investigated to solve the power level estimation problem. It has the advantage of being robust, easy to implement and cheap in computation time. However, this technique is also known for having poor spatial resolution capabilities which prevents the correct source levels being obtained for numerous practical applications. Deconvolution techniques of the result computed with CBF, with the point spread function of the array manifold, may restore the power levels of the acoustic sources that would be observed in the absence of the array resolution effects. However, the accuracy of the results provided by deconvolution methods is very sensitive to background noise, always present in acoustic measurements. This process should be carried out after the additive noise has been suitably attenuated and, ideally, the deconvolution operator should amplify the noise as little as possible. Another approach is described in the article. It consists in using a noise reference and a new technique called spectral estimation method with additive noise to remove both the smearing effect produced by the array response and the background noise. The technique has been applied to computer and experimental simulations conducted both in an anechoic chamber and in the test section of an open wind tunnel involving acoustic sources radiating in a noisy environment. The levels of the sources were found with a good level of accuracy and the background noise greatly reduced, confirming the validity of the approach and the satisfactory performance of the method proposed.

Characterisation of valves as sound sources: Structure-borne sound

Taps and other valves are major sound sources in piping systems and can cause unacceptable noise levels in buildings. The noise results from the fluid-, structure- and air-borne sound emission. At present the acoustic emission of water appliances is tested according to a European standard, the shortcomings of which are apparent as a result of a round robin test of different European laboratories. As a result, there are currently neither acceptable measurement methods for water appliances available nor input data for prediction models. This paper considers methods of characterizing water appliances as sources of structure-borne sound. The concepts of mobility and free velocity are employed for a source characterisation based on power. Taps are considered alone and also in combination with a basin, where again the mobility and free velocity are used. A reception plate method is assessed as an alternative. The two methods each provide an independent characterisation of a structure-borne sound source as a single value. The values are on a power basis and provide input data suitable for prediction of the installed structure-borne power and thence the resultant sound pressure in adjacent rooms. Measured and predicted values of sound pressure level, caused by a wash-basin installed in an adjacent room, are compared.     

中国筝的声功率级测试

筝是中国古老的弹弦乐器。但迄今为止,对其声功率级一直未进行科学的测定。本文在一混响室内根据ISO及GB标准,对二十一弦筝的声功率级进行了首次测定。两位资深乐师在混响室内分别演奏各自的乐器,通过围绕乐师和乐器布置的四通道测试设备,对筝所辐射的声功率级和动态范围进行测定。测试结果表明,中国筝在以不同力度演奏单音、音阶和乐曲时所辐射的声功率级及其频率特性均有所不同。考虑到乐器演奏音阶时所辐射的声功率级及其动态范围与演奏乐曲时的声功率级接近,并且,音乐的空间感也大都在乐器以f力度演奏乐曲的强音标志乐段时最为显著,故此我们建议中国筝所辐射的声功率级用其以f力度演奏音阶时的平均声功率级表示。本文测试的两架中国筝以f力度演奏音阶时的平均声功率级为85.9dB。文中不仅首次公布了中国筝声功率级的测试结果,并且所介绍的测试方法对其它乐器声功率级测试也具有借鉴意义。民族乐器所辐射的声音性能的确定是民族音乐厅堂音质研究的基础。

Regularization for improving the deconvolution in real-time near-field acoustic holography

Near-field acoustic holography is a measuring process for locating and characterizing stationary sound sources from measurements made by a microphone array in the near-field of the acoustic source plane. A technique called real-time near-field acoustic holography (RT-NAH) has been introduced to extend this method in the case of nonstationary sources. This technique is based on a formulation which describes the propagation of time-dependent sound pressure signals on a forward plane using a convolution product with an impulse response in the time-wavenumber domain. Thus the backward propagation of the pressure field is obtained by deconvolution. Taking the evanescent waves into account in RT-NAH improves the spatial resolution of the solution but makes the deconvolution problem "ill-posed" and often yields inappropriate solutions. The purpose of this paper is to focus on solving this deconvolution problem. Two deconvolution methods are compared: one uses a singular value decomposition and a standard Tikhonov regularization and the other one is based on optimum Wiener filtering. A simulation involving monopoles driven by nonstationary signals demonstrates, by means of objective indicators, the accuracy of the time-dependent reconstructed sound field. The results highlight the advantage of using regularization and particularly in the presence of measurement noise.     

Equivalent source method for identification of panel acoustic contribution in irregular enclosed sound field

For the interior sound field formed by the complex vibrating structure,an identification approach of panel acoustic contribution based on equivalent source method(ESM)was presented.The normal velocity on the surface of vibrating structure was first reconstructed by using interior nearfield acoustic holography based on ESM and the prediction of whole interior enclosed sound field was realized.Then the sound pressure produced by each panel at the interested field point was respectively replaced by the radiated pressure of the enclosed interior sound field which is formed by the equivalent virtual sources located near the surface of the cavity.Combining with the reconstructed normal surface velocity,the acoustic contribution of each panel to any position in the cavity was obtained by transforming the complex enclosed non-free field into the simple interior free field.Numerical simulations and experiments are conducted,and the influences of the number of the equivalent sources and the distance between them and the reconstructed surface have been investigated.The results show that the proposed method is easier to be implemented with the same accuracy than the traditional analysis method.

On the role of glottis-interior sources in the production of voiced sound

The voice source is dominated by aeroacoustic sources downstream of the glottis. In this paper an investigation is made of the contribution to voiced speech of secondary sources within the glottis. The acoustic waveform is ultimately determined by the volume velocity of air at the glottis, which is controlled by vocal fold vibration, pressure forcing from the lungs, and unsteady backreactions from the sound and from the supraglottal air jet. The theory of aerodynamic sound is applied to study the influence on the fine details of the acoustic waveform of "potential flow" added-mass-type glottal sources, glottis friction, and vorticity either in the glottis-wall boundary layer or in the portion of the free jet shear layer within the glottis. These sources govern predominantly the high frequency content of the sound when the glottis is near closure. A detailed analysis performed for a canonical, cylindrical glottis of rectangular cross section indicates that glottis-interior boundary/shear layer vortex sources and the surface frictional source are of comparable importance; the influence of the potential flow source is about an order of magnitude smaller.     

Experimental Estimation of the Emission Directivity of a Moving Surface Vessel in Shallow Water

The possibility of constructing an acoustic model of a surface ship’s noise emission in the far field using monopole-type emitters uniformly distributed along the hull is investigated. Experimental data obtained in shallow water are used to calculate the characteristics of equivalent monopole emission sources that form a total sound field similar to the sound field from a moving surface ship. The powers of each monopole and the cross-correlations between them are calculated. For the selected discrete components and linear model of an extended source, the directivity patterns are constructed, reduced to the free space. In the experiments and calculations, technical tools and algorithms were used that ensure high-precision positioning of the vessel with respect to the receiving elements of the array. An equivalent model of the waveguide transfer function in the operations area was preliminarily obtained by acoustic waveguide calibration using specially developed equipment, experimental techniques, and processing algorithms. This made it possible to use adequate seafloor models and the waveguide transfer function when calculating the equivalent sound field and directivity pattern. Good agreement is shown between the calculated and experimental data, both of the directivity pattern and field distribution along the transit characteristics. Practical recommendations are given for developing methods to measure the noise fields of surface vessels.

A numerical study on the flow and sound fields of centrifugal impeller located near a wedge

Centrifugal fans are widely used and the noise generated by these machines causes one of the serious problems. In general, the centrifugal fan noise is often dominated by tones at blade passage frequency and its higher harmonics. This is a consequence of the strong interaction between the flow discharged from the impeller and the cut-off in the casing. However, only a few researches have been carried out on predicting the noise because of the difficulty in obtaining detailed information about the flow field and considering the scattering effect of the casing. The objective of this study is to understand the generation mechanism of sound and to develop a prediction method for the unsteady flow field and the acoustic pressure field of the centrifugal impeller. A discrete vortex method is used to model the centrifugal impeller and a wedge and to calculate the flow field. The force of each element on the blade is calculated by the unsteady Bernoulli equation. Lowson's method is used to predict the acoustic source. In order to consider the scattering and diffraction effects of the casing, Kirchhoff-Helmholtz boundary element method (BEM) is developed. The source of Kirchhoff-Helmholtz BEM is newly developed, so the sound field of the centrifugal fan can be obtained. A centrifugal impeller and wedge are used in the numerical calculation and the results are compared with the experimental data. Reasonable results are obtained not only for the peak frequencies but also for the amplitudes of the tonal sound. The radiated acoustic field shows the diffraction and scattering effect of the wedge.     

Excitation of the acoustic and leaky waves in the atmosphere by a sub-surface seismic source

We study excitation of acoustic, leaky, and surface waves by a time-harmonic force source located in a homogeneous isotropic elastic half-space contacting a homogeneous gas. The force acts in the normal direction to the interface between the media. We consider the case where the sound velocity in the gas is less than the velocity of the Rayleigh wave propagating along the surface of the solid. An expression is derived for the period-averaged radiation power of the surface Stoneley wave. The total radiation power is calculated for the acoustic wave in the gas and for the leaky pseudo-Rayleigh wave. Variations in the radiation powers of the surface and leaky waves are analyzed as functions of the source depth. If the velocities of compressional and shear waves in the elastic medium significantly exceed the sound velocity in the gas, then the radiation power of the Stoneley wave turns out to be a factor of 10⁶–10⁸ smaller than the radiation powers of other waves. The radiation power of the Stoneley wave decreases monotonically with increasing source depth, and the decrease becomes more pronounced with the increase in the difference between the acoustic impedances of the contacting media. If the shear-wave velocity in the solid is close to the sound velocity in the gas, then the radiation power of the Stoneley wave is comparable with the radiation powers of other waves and exhibits maximum at a certain source depth. For some parameters of the gas and the solid, and for certain source depths, the Stoneley wave carries away more than a half of the total radiation power. It is shown that, for certain relations between the parameters of the media, the radiation power of the Stoneley wave increases due to redistribution of the radiated power from the pseudo-Rayleigh leaky wave. The total power of these waves remains approximatly constant and, with accuracy of the order of 10⁻³, is equal to the radiation power of the Rayleigh wave at the vacuum-solid interface. It is shown that the acoustic-wave power which can be transmitted to the upper layers of the atmosphere during an earthquake does not exceed 0.01% of the total power radiated at a given frequency. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 49, No. 7, pp. 577–592, July 2006.
