Abstract A passive noise control technique for the flow-induced noise using a porous material was studied experimentally. The purpose of this study was to decrease the aerodynamic sound using porous material that permeated only sound and clarify that reduction mechanism. In the experiment, flow-induced noises emitted from two types of rectangular cylinders was measured in a low-noise wind tunnel. One cylinder was made of four aluminum plates and the other was two aluminum and porous material plates each. Measurement results show that the frequency of the distinct tonal noise was different between two cylinders, that frequency was higher for using porous material. It was also found that the sound pressure level of the noise was also different and that of the cylinder using porous material plate was 25 dB smaller at maximum. Velocity field of the wake of cylinders were examined by the PIV measurement and that showed that time and space scale of separated vortices around cylinder were smaller for using porous material. It is assumed that the change of aerodynamic sound was caused by that change in velocity field.

Ten years ago, CGG launched a project to develop a new concept of marine vibrator (MV) technology. We present our work, concluding with the successful acquisition of a seismic image using an ocean-bottom-node 2D survey. The expectation for MV technology is that it could reduce ocean exposure to seismic source sound, enable new acquisition solutions, and improve seismic data quality. After consideration of our objectives in terms of imaging, productivity, acoustic efficiency, and operational risk, we developed two spectrally complementary prototypes to cover the seismic bandwidth. In practice, an array composed of several MV units is needed for images of comparable quality to those produced from air-gun data sets. Because coupling to the water is invariant, MV signals tend to be repeatable. Since far-field pressure is directly proportional to piston volumetric acceleration, the far-field radiation can be well controlled through accurate piston motion control. These features allow us to shape signals to match precisely a desired spectrum while observing equipment constraints. Over the last few years, an intensive validation process was conducted at our dedicated test facility. The MV units were exposed to 2000 hours of in-sea testing with only minor technical issues.

The impedance of a passive noise control device is strictly positive real, if the device is installed in noise fields with weak mean flows. Passive noise control devices are, therefore, more reliable than active ones. Active control may be applied to a Helmholtz resonator to introduce electronic resonance. It will affect the impedance Zact of the resonator. A controller may be designed such that (a) Zact is small and resistive at some tunable frequencies; and (b) Re{Zact}⩾0 in the entire frequency range of interest. If criterion (a) is satisfied, the active resonator can suppress duct noise at tunable frequencies. It is difficult to design a controller to satisfy criterion (b) because parameters of the controller depend on acoustic parameters of the noise field. A new method is proposed here to design an active controller to meet both criteria simultaneously. The satisfaction of criterion (b) implies a positive real Zact and a robust active resonator with respect to parameter variation in the noise field. Experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the active resonator.

abstract The far-field radiation from a simple fault model is given by the radiation pattern associated with the appropriate strain nucleus (e.g., double couple) multiplied by a fault propagation factor. For a unilateral fault model the propagation factor is F ( c ; t ) = ζ bd [ H ( τ ) − H ( τ − ( L / ζ ) ( 1 − ( ζ / c ) cos ψ )) ] / ( 1 − ( ζ / c ) cos ψ ) where ξ is the velocity of fault propagation, b is the fault slip, d is the fault width, τ = t − r0/c, r0 is the distance of the observer from the initial point of faulting, c is the velocity of the seismic wave, H(τ) is the unit-step function, L is the length of the fault, and ψ the angle between r0 and the direction of fault propagation. This representation is valid for both subsonic and supersonic fault propagation. The latter case is important because Weertman (1969) has recently shown that spontaneous faulting may propagate at supersonic velocities. Because the propagation factor is always positive, the nodal planes for the radiation are the same as for the appropriate strain nucleus. Finally, it is shown by the application of this equation that the radiation from a screw dislocation segment is represented by the double-couple nucleus, not the compensated linear-vector dipole nucleus as recently suggested by Knopoff and Randall (1970).
