Heated Supersonic Jet Characteristics From Far-Field Acoustical Measurements, Matthew Austin Christian
Heated Supersonic Jet Characteristics From Far-Field Acoustical Measurements, Matthew Austin Christian
Theses and Dissertations
In the field of supersonic jet noise, measurements of full-scale afterburning jet engines are infrequent and provide unique opportunities to better understand jet noise phenomena. This thesis represents a phenomenological jet noise analysis using far-field noise data collected from a T-7A-installed GE F404-103 turbofan engine. One issue with the far-field acoustic data from the T-7A was the effects of ground reflections present in the spectra generated from the measured waveforms. A previously developed ground reflection model was implemented into the data to account for this interference. This work represents the first time this model has been implemented in data collected …
Experimental Validation Of A Vibration-Based Sound Power Method, Trent P. Bates
Experimental Validation Of A Vibration-Based Sound Power Method, Trent P. Bates
Theses and Dissertations
A vibration-based sound power (VBSP) measurement method is appealing because of its potential versatility in application compared to pressure- and intensity-based methods. The VBSP method is based on the well-known elementary radiators approach and is reliant on the acoustic radiation resistance matrix. Previous research has developed and validated the VBSP method for flat plates and cylinders. This thesis details work on extending the VBSP method to arbitrarily-curved structures. The approach of computing surface normal velocities from 3D velocity data measured by a scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (SLDV) is presented. This approach is validated with experimental sound power results of a …
