Abstract The finite element method is widely used for the modeling of piezoelectric transducers. With respect to the radiation loading, the fluid is meshed and terminated by an external nonreflecting surface. This reflecting surface can be made up with dipolar damping elements that absorb approximately the outgoing acoustic wave. In fact, with dipolar dampers the fluid mesh can be quite limited. This method can provides a direct computation of the near-field pressure inside the selected external boundary. This paper describes an original extrapolation method to compute far-field pressures from near-field pressures in the two-dimensional (2-D) case. In fact, using the 2-D Helmholtz equation and its solution obeying the Sommerfeld radiation condition, the far-field directivity pattern can be expressed in terms of the near-field directivity pattern. These developments are valid for any radiation problem in 2D. One test example is described which consists of a finite width planar source mounted in a rigid or a soft baffle. Experimental results concerning the far-field directivity pattern of lithium niobate bars (Y-cut) are also presented.

An analytical model is developed for the prediction of noise radiated by an aerofoil with leading-edge serration in a subsonic turbulent stream. The model makes use of Fourier expansion and Schwarzschild techniques in order to solve a set of coupled differential equations iteratively and express the far-field sound power spectral density in terms of the statistics of incoming turbulent upwash velocity. The model has shown that the primary noise-reduction mechanism is due to the destructive interference of the scattered pressure induced by the leading-edge serrations. It has also shown that in order to achieve significant sound reduction, the serration must satisfy two geometrical criteria related to the serration sharpness and hydrodynamic properties of the turbulence. A parametric study has been carried out and it is shown that serrations can reduce the overall sound pressure level at most radiation angles, particularly at small aft angles. The sound directivity results have also shown that the use of leading-edge serration does not significantly change the dipolar pattern of the far-field noise at low frequencies, but it changes the cardioid directivity pattern associated with radiation from straight-edge scattering at high frequencies to a tilted dipolar pattern.

This paper investigates the prediction of the far-field performances of high frequency projectors using the second source array method (SSAM). The far-field parameters can be calculated accurately using the complex acoustic pressure data of two very close parallel planes which lie in the near-field region of the projector. The paper simulates the feasibility of predicting the far-field parameters such as transmitting voltage response and the far-field directivity pattern. The predicting results are compared with that calculated using boundary element method (BEM). It shows very good agreement between the two methods. A planar high frequency projector is measured using the near-field method. In order to verify the predicting results, the far-field measurement is performed for the same projector. The comparison of the results shows that the near-field method is capable to precisely predict the far-field parameters of the projector.

Turbulent boundary layer flows over rough surfaces are known to produce elevated far-field acoustic sound levels. The nature by which surface irregularities alter the near-field surface pressures and subsequently affect the sound generation to the scattering of high wavenumber convective pressures to low wavenumber acoustic pressures, which is typically interpreted as a dipole-like source. The focus of the current investigation is the experimental interrogation of both near- and far-field pressures due to the flow over roughened surfaces in order to identify the source mechanisms and to validate physical models of roughness sound. For rough surfaces composed of large geometrical elements (defined by large Reynolds numbers based on roughness height and friction velocity), such as hemispheres and cubes, the measured near-field surfaces pressures indicate that the local interstitial flows become important in determining the sound radiation characteristics. In order to describe the aeroacoustic source region, scaling laws are developed for surface pressures at locations around the roughness elements for various roughness configurations and flow speeds. Relationships between surface pressures amongst the rough surface elements and far-field pressures measured at several directional aspects were examined to identify roughness sound source mechanisms. Measurements of a dipole directivity pattern and dipole efficiency factors obtained when normalizing radiated sound by surface pressures offer support to the scattering theories for roughness sound. Using existing pressure scattering models as a basis, an empirical model for roughness sound is generated.
