Time-Domain Characterization Of Nonlinear Propagation In Military Aircraft Jet Noise, Brent Owen Reichman Jul 2018

Time-Domain Characterization Of Nonlinear Propagation In Military Aircraft Jet Noise, Brent Owen Reichman

Theses and Dissertations

Nonlinear propagation and shock formation are shown in noise radiated from full-scale military jet aircraft. Perception of sound is not only affected by the overall sound pressure level of the noise, but also characteristics of the sound itself. In the case of jet noise, acoustic shocks within the waveforms result in a characteristic commonly referred to as"crackle." The origin of shocks in the far-field of jet noise is shown to be through nonlinear propagation. Metrics characterizing the shock content of a waveform are explained and given physical significance, then applied to jet noise at various distances and engine conditions to …


Characterization Of Military Aircraft Jet Noise Using Wavepacket Analysis And Other Array Processing Methods, Blaine M. Harker Oct 2017

Characterization Of Military Aircraft Jet Noise Using Wavepacket Analysis And Other Array Processing Methods, Blaine M. Harker

Theses and Dissertations

Sound generation and radiation properties are studied of full-scale tactical jet engine noise. This is motivated by the high sound exposure levels from jet noise, particularly for tactical engines. Acoustic source reconstruction methods are implemented computationally on existing jet noise data. A comparative study is performed using numerical simulations to understand the capabilities of more advanced beamforming methods to successfully estimate the source properties of a distributed, partially correlated source distribution. The properties and limitations of each beamforming method are described. Having validated the methods, beamforming with regularization—via the Hybrid Method—is implemented on linear array measurements near an installed tactical …
