Testing two crackle criteria using modified jet noise waveforms

Testing two crackle criteria using modified jet noise waveforms.

The jet sound quality "crackle" has historically been studied and quantified using the statistics of the pressure waveform. Some investigators have suggested crackle, and its associated shock content, may be better quantified using the statistics of the time derivative of the waveform. Modified waveforms are used to evaluate crackle prediction criteria based on the skewness of each variable. Th...

Propagation of crackle-containing jet noise from high-performance engines

Crackle, the impulsive quality sometimes present in supersonic jet noise, has traditionally been defined in terms of the pressure waveform skewness. However, recent work has shown that the pressurewaveform time derivative is a better quantifier of the acoustic shocks believed to be responsible for crackle perception. This paper discusses two definitions of crackle: waveform asymmetry versus sho...

On the Evolution of Crackle in Jet Noise from High-Performance Engines

Crackle, the impulsive quality sometimes present in supersonic jet noise, has traditionally been defined in terms of the pressure waveform skewness. However, recent work has shown that the pressure waveform time derivative is a better quantifier of the acoustic shocks believed to be responsible for its perception.

Crackle: The Persistent Homology of Noise

We study the homology of simplicial complexes built via deterministic rules from a random set of vertices. In particular, we show that, depending on the randomness that generates the vertices, the homology of these complexes can either become trivial as the number n of vertices grows, or can contain more and more complex structures. The different behaviours are consequences of different underly...
