Mourão Bento, H.F. (author), VanDercreek, Colin (author), Avallone, F. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Sijtsma, P. (author), Snellen, M. (author)Aeroacoustic tests in closed wind tunnels are affected by reflections in the tunnel circuit and background noise. Reflections can be mitigated by lining the tunnel circuit. The present study investigates if lining exclusively the most accessible segment of a closed wind tunnel circuit, in particular the test section, is an approach which...conference paper 2023

Sijtsma, P. (author), Brouwer, Harry (author), Snellen, M. (author)The fan-stator stage of turbofan engines is one of the main regions of broadband noise generation. The trend of increasing bypass ratios will make fan-stator broadband noise even more significant, as jet noise will decrease and nacelles will become shorter, thus leaving less space for liners. Within the fan-stator stage there are several...conference paper 2023

VanDercreek, Colin (author), Merino Martinez, R. (author), Sijtsma, P. (author), Snellen, M. (author)Aeroacoustic measurements performed by flush-mounted microphone arrays on the walls of closed-section wind tunnels are contaminated by the hydrodynamic pressure fluctuations of the wall's boundary layer. This study evaluates three different microphone cavity geometries for mitigating this issue. Their improvement to the signal-to-noise ratio ...journal article 2021

(author), Schram, Christophe (author)In this paper, the performance of four acoustic imaging methods: conventional frequency domain beamforming (CFDBF), functional beamforming (FUNBF), enhanced high resolution CLEAN–SC (EHR–CLEAN–SC) and generalized inverse beamforming (GIBF), is investigated in terms of accuracy and variability. Three experimental test cases are considered: 1)...journal article 2020

(author)Phased microphone arrays have become a well-established tool for performing aeroacoustic measurements in wind tunnels (both open-jet and closed-section), flying aircraft, and engine test beds. This paper provides a review of the most well-known and state-of-the-art acoustic imaging methods and recommendations on when to use them. Several...journal article 2019

Luesutthiviboon, S. (author), Malgoezar, A.M.N. (author), Merino Martinez, R. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Sijtsma, P. (author), Simons, D.G. (author)The recently introduced high-resolution (HR)-CLEAN-SC algorithm for acoustic imaging provides ‘super-resolution’, i.e. the ability to discern sound sources located closer than the Rayleigh resolution limit. This is achieved by allowing the source markers to be relocated from the actual source locations within a certain constraint to avoid the...journal article 2019

(author), Schram, Christophe (author), Simons, D.G. (author)Most acoustic imaging methods assume the presence of point sound sources and, hence, may fail to correctly estimate the sound emissions of distributed sound sources, such as trailing-edge noise. In this contribution, three integration techniques are suggested to overcome this issue based on models considering a single point source, a line...journal article 2019

VanDercreek, Colin (author), Sijtsma, P. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Simons, D.G. (author)A mathematical model is proposed that evaluates acoustic propagation of turbulent boundary layer waves on top of a cavity enclosing a microphone. The goal is to optimize these cavity geometries to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of acoustic measurements. This model predicts the attenuation of the turbulent boundary layer fluctuations...conference paper 2019

Luesutthiviboon, S. (author), Malgoezar, A.M.N. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Sijtsma, P. (author), Simons, D.G. (author)Beamforming performance can be improved in two ways: optimizing the location of microphones on the acoustic array and applying advanced beamforming algorithms. In this study, the effects of the two approaches are studied. An optimization method is developed to optimize the location of microphones for an acoustic array used in an open-jet...conference paper 2018

Sijtsma, P. (author), Merino Martinez, R. (author), Malgoezar, A.M.N. (author), Snellen, M. (author)In this article, a high-resolution extension of CLEAN-SC is proposed: high-resolution-CLEAN-SC. Where CLEAN-SC uses peak sources in ‘dirty maps’ to define so-called source components, high-resolution-CLEAN-SC takes advantage of the fact that source components can likewise be derived from points at some distance from the peak, as long as these...journal article 2017

(author)Assigning proper positions to microphones within arrays is essential in order to reduce or eliminate side- and grating lobes in 2D beamform images. In this paper an objective function is derived providing a measure for the presence of artificial sources. Using the global optimization method Differential Evolution an optimized microphone...conference paper 2016

Malgoezar, A.M.N. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Simons, D.G. (author), Sijtsma, P. (author)Conventional beamforming is a common method to localize sound sources with a microphone array. The method, which is based on the delay-and-sum beamforming, provides an estimate value for the source strength at a given spatial position. It suffers from low spatial resolution at low frequencies, high side lobe levels and requires the user to...conference paper 2016
