High Resolution Imaging of Noise from Novel Integrated Propeller Systems

Humans localize sound incessantly using the ears and it proves to be important of<br/>our awareness. It can also be a cause of annoyance to the community whenever<br/>sound is in the form of noise. Due to increase of wealth, industry, technology and<br/>corresponding globalization there is a large increase of noise. Especially with the<br/...

Deconvolution of azimuthal mode detection measurements

Unequally spaced transducer rings make it possible to extend the range of detectable azimuthal modes. The disadvantage is that the response of the mode detection algorithm to a single mode is distributed over all detectable modes, similarly to the Point Spread Function of Conventional Beamforming with microphone arrays. With multiple modes...

Acoustic Emissions of Semi-Permeable Trailing Edge Serrations

The trailing edge of a NACA 0018 airfoil is modified through the attachment of serrations with different degrees of permeability. Acoustic beamforming is used to inspect the turbulent boundary layer-trailing edge noise emissions from the unmodified and serrated trailing edges. Different freestream velocities and angles of attack are investigated...
