Understanding sound propagation through variable area ducts continues to be important for controlling turbomachinery noise. In analytical treatment of the problem it is usually assumed that duct cross sections vary slowly and no mode scattering takes place. It is the purpose of this work to investigate numerically the effects of cross-sectional changes of varying degree on transmission of acoustic modes typical to turbomachinery. First, sound fields of interest through such ducts are obtained numerically by solving the linearized Euler equations in frequency domain. Then, the acoustic fields are analyzed by an eigenmode decomposition approach applied to the whole length of the duct. This approach is based on linearized Euler equations, and hence enables identification of both the pressure and velocity fields associated with each of the downstream and upstream propagating waves. In this way a power balance between all relevant wave components is easily established revealing the details of the acoustic processes through the duct. Results indicate that modal scattering out of an incident mode into other propagating modes is observed mostly for the mid-cut-on range of radial orders for the plane to mid-cut-on range of azimuthal order modes.

Uncertainty in Nonlinear SDoF Response Due to Long-Period Noise of Accelerograms
Akkar, Dede Sinan; Guelkan, Polat; Kale, Oezkan (2009-07-01)
The behavior of nonlinear oscillator deformations due to the long-period noise in strong ground motions is investigated. Inelastic spectral and residual displacements (SDIE and SDR, respectively) are selected to represent the nonlinear deformations of single-degree-of-freedom (SDoF) systems. Within this context, the interaction between these deformation demand parameters and high-pass filtering that is used for removing the long-period noise is examined. Analyses indicate that the high-pass filter values ca...
Computational and experimental models for sound transmission in the pulmonary system and chest to aid in medical diagnostics
Açıkgöz, Serhan; Royston, Thomas J; Özer, Mehmet Bülent; Mansy, Hanson A; Sandler, Rıchard H (2005-05-20)
Acoustic wave propagation in the pulmonary system and torso is simulated by coupling a numerical acoustic boundary element model that predicts sound propagation throughout the solid tissues with a proven comprehensive analytical model for sound wave propagation in the airways of the bronchial tree that is valid up to at least 2 kHz. This approach enables modeling various pathologies that result in structural changes in the lung and/or changes in breath sound source and strength. The model may be also used t...
Proposal of a New Tool for 3D Pattern Generation
Sorguç, Arzu (2015-07-01)
The behavior of sound in an enclosed space is very complex. This behavior is closely related to boundaries, material properties and with the form of the space they are in. In this paper, the image source method as a method for modeling the sound field in enclosed spaces is re-visited and patterns of image sources and their relationships with the geometry of enclosing space is studied by using polygons/polyhedrons in 2D and 3D. Symmetries of these image source points, identification of possible polygons enab...
Optimal passive and hybrid control of vibrations and sound radiation from linear and non linear PZT based smart structures
Özer, Mehmet Bülent (2002-03-21)
Two different methods are introduced for the determination of optimal active control inputs and passive shunting parameters in the PZT-based smart structure vibration and sound pressure control problems. The first method makes use of the dynamic vibration absorber principle; the second method uses the receptance of the open circuit structure-PZT system for determination of active control laws and parameters of optimal passive shunting. The advantages of each method are discussed. Using both methods, optimal...
Optimum design of feed structures for high G/T passive and active antenna arrays
Demir, S; Toker, Canan (1999-03-01)
In this work, noise analysis of parallel feed structures is presented. Signal and noise behavior of the feed structures are signified by the newly introduced concepts of "coherent' and "incoherent" impedance match of power-combining structures. It is also shown that a feed structure can be redesigned for low-noise operation without affecting the radiation characteristics. Optimum design of parallel feed structures for low-noise operation is explained, Also an optimum use of active elements in such structure...
