This paper presents the results of a theoretical and experimental study of the correlation of fluctuating forces on rigid flow spoilers with the resulting sound radiation. A system of force transducers was developed to measure simultaneously, yet independently, the drag and lift components of the fluctuating forces on flow spoilers confined within a jet-pipe system. A direct correlation of fluctuating forces with the radiated sound was found. A theory that considered the effect of the enclosure upon the sources and the effect of pipe-end reflection was developed to predict the sound power radiated to the free field from pipe-immersed flow spoilers. Both monopole and dipole sources were treated. An increase of the dipole sound-power output by a factor of 3 for frequencies below the pipe cutoff frequency was predicted and experimentally confirmed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
