Present study explains some experimental results on the aerodynamic noise of the cross-flow fan usually installed in the indoor unit of the room air-conditioners and provides a simple reduction method of radiating sound to decrease the total noise level. The spectra of the noise of the cross-flow fan were analyzed by the spectral decomposition method to characterize the generated sound. The unsteady fluctuating flow field was also measured using the I-type hot-wire probe. Comparing the spectral characteristics of the sound and the flow velocity, a useful noise reduction method was proposed, which bounds the region with a fence where the flow fluctuations were noticeably changed in the same fashion as the source spectral distribution functions vary. To validate the proposed method for reducing noise generated by the cross-flow fan, the sound pressure levels of the cross-flow fan system were compared with and without the bounding fence for various flow rates.

Acoustic holography uses Kirchhoff·Helmholtz integral equation and Green's function which satisfies Dirichlet boundary condition Applications of acoustic holography have been taken to the sound field neglecting the effect of flow. The uniform flow, however, changes sound field and the governing equation, Green's function and so on. Thus the conventional method of acoustic holography should be changed. In this research, one possibility to apply acoustic holography to the sound field with uniform flow is introduced through checking for the plane wave in a duct. Change of Green's function due to uniform flow and one method to derive modified form of Kirchhoff·Heimholtz integral is suggested for 1-dimensional sound field. Derivation results show that using Green's function satisfying Dirichlet boundary condition, we can predict sound pressure in a duct using boundary value.

In this study, the physical characteristics of steel-wire sound absorbing materials with different thickness and bulk density is experimentally obtained in terms of the porosity and specific flow resistivity. Based on the experimental results, the following conclusions can be made. The porosities of steel-wire sound absorbing materials are smaller than those of general absorbing materials, which are inversely proportional to the volume densities. For the porosity measurement with a good accuracy, the dynamic correction based on the system compliance should be involved in porosity measurement. In addition, the flow condition for the precise measurement of the specific flow resistivity of steel-wire sound absorbing materials should be limited in the laminar flow region.

Using an internal flow noise test bench, this study investigates the variation in internal flow noise at the inlet and outlet monitoring points of a DN100 T-junction pipe under different flow velocities. Results indicate that with increasing flow velocity, both the sound pressure level and total sound pressure level at the inlet and outlet monitoring points increase. The highest total sound pressure level is observed at the vertical outlet monitoring point B, followed by the horizontal inlet monitoring point A, with the lowest at the horizontal outlet monitoring point C. At a constant flow velocity, the sound pressure level at the inlet and outlet points initially increases and then decreases as frequency increases.

Proposed in this paper is a method of measurement of the flow rate in a pipe. The sound waves which are propagated within a pipe are characterized by that the wavenumber in the axial direction is changed according to the flow rate, and these characteristics are used in the present method of measurement of the flow rate. The amount of change in wavenumber of sound waves according to the flow rate can be obtained from the relationship among acoustic pressure signals within a pipe, which are measured by using a microphone array. The flow rate can be obtained by using the amount of change in wavenumber of sound waves and the relational equation of the flow rate. With respect to errors that can occur during the measurement of the flow rate, the types of errors and the method of correction of those errors are presented. This method of measurement of the flow rate has application limitation conditions due to the sensor interval, assumption of sound waves as plane waves, etc. The numerical simulation and experiments for measuring the flow rate of air in a pipe are performed in order to verify the applicability of this method of measurement of the flow rate. The experimental results are shown to be similar to those of the numerical simulation. And the flow rate measured is shown to be consistent with the actual value within 5% error bound.

Experimental investigation was conducted to study the effects of pitch angle maximum camber on the performance and noise of an axial-flow fan used in outdoor-unit of air -conditioner. For this study the axial-flow fan whose pitch angle can be varied was made and the Specific sound Pressure Level and other coefficients were measured using the anechoic fan tester. It is found that pitch angle affects more severly than the maximum camber on the fan performance. On the while the maximum camber affects much on the specific sound power level. Present results show that it is important to choose the optimum pitch angle and maximum camber to design the high-performance and low-noise axial-flow fan and specific noise measured in the anechoic fan tester can be sued effectively for the design of low-noise fan.

For a cylinder in a uniform flow stream, sound is generated by the fluctuating pressure on the cylinder surface due to the vortex shedding behind the cylinder. It is known that the major parameters to predict the sound pressure are the characteristic length of the flow along the cylinder axis and the fluctuating lift coefficient. These parameters strongly depend on the Reynolds number and the yaw angle of the cylinder to the free stream. In this experimental study the effects of yaw on the flow parameters, and consequently on the generated sound are investigated. The surface pressure and the radiated sound are measured simultaneously for different yaw angles and showed that the reduced normal velocity component to the cylinder axis reduces the unsteady lift fluctuation which results in lowered sound press-are level, However, experimental result shows that "the cosine law" which uses the normal velocity component as a characteristic velocity for noise Generation from a yawed cylinder needs to be carefully reviewed. reviewed.

This paper addresses a new technique of measuring the mean flow velocity over the cross sectional area of the pipe using sound field reconstruction. When fluid flows in the pipe and two plane waves propagate oppositely through the medium, the flow velocity causes the change of wave number of the plane waves. The wave number of the positive going plane wave decreases and that of negative going one increases in comparison to static medium in the pipe. Theoretical backgrounds of this method are introduced in detail and the measurement of mean flow velocity using the sound field reconstruction is not affected by velocity profile upstream of microphones.

본 논문에서는 실제 현실에서 표현되는 소리의 특징인 파동(Sound wave)과 흐름(Sound flow) 그리고 회절(Diffraction of sound)을 가상환경에서 실시간으로 표현할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 우리의 접근 방식은 소리가 재생되는 위치로부터 장애물 여부를 판단하고, 장애물이 존재할 시, 장애물로 인해 반사와 회절된 새로운 소리 위치를 계산한다. 이 과정에서 레이트레이싱 기반으로 장애물과의 충돌 여부를 판단하고, 충돌에 의해 굴절된 벡터를 이용하여 장애물 너머에서 들리는 소리의 크기를 계산하며, 충돌된 레이의 개수에 따라 소리의 크기를 감쇠시킨다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법을 이용한 소리의 회절은 물리 기반 접근법에서 나타나는 회절 형태를 실시간으로 표현했으며, 장애물에 따라서 회절 패턴이 변경되고, 이에 따라 소리의 크기가 자연스럽게 조절되는 결과를 보여준다. 이 같은 실험은 실제 현실에서 나타나는 소리의 퍼짐과 같은 특징을 거의 유사하게 복원해냈다.
