Propagation of crackle-containing jet noise from high-performance engines
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 shock content and crackle as a source or propagation-related phenomenon. Data from two static military jet aircraft tests are used to demonstrate that the skewedwaveforms radiated from the jet undergo significant nonlinear steepening and shock formation, as evidenced by the skewness of the time derivative of the pressure waveforms. To the extent that crackle is caused by the presence of shock-like features in thewaveform, crackle's perceived quality is likely to be heavily influenced by propagation through the geometric near field and into the far field. © 2016 Institute of Noise Control Engineering.

متن کاملNear-field shock formation in noise propagation from a high-power jet aircraft.
Noise measurements near the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter at military power are analyzed via spatial maps of overall and band pressure levels and skewness. Relative constancy of the pressure waveform skewness reveals that waveform asymmetry, characteristic of supersonic jets, is a source phenomenon originating farther upstream than the maximum overall level. Conversely, growth of the skewness of t...
متن کاملPnsb3. Do Recent Findings on Jet Noise Answer Aspects of the Schultz Curve?
Recent research efforts on nonlinear propagation from high performance jet aircraft have revealed an interesting challenge to predicting community response. This challenge focuses on receiver perception of these unique acoustical signals, which contain acoustical shocks that appear to increase their relative loudness and/or noisiness. This current finding suggests a need for an improved descrip...
متن کاملTesting 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...
