An experimental-analytical technique was developed to evaluate the noise produced inside various types of sonar domes under the effect of a turbulent flow, in a frequency range where the structure has a high modal density. The transfer functions between a punctual external force applied to the dome and the acoustic pressure at a point inside the cavity was measured on a scale model. This measure was made using a reciprocity technique with emitting hydrophones within the cavity and with accelerometers all over the dome's external surface. The noise level at a point inside the cavity is calculated from these experimental transfer functions and a turbulent boundary layer wall pressure model. The wave vector frequency spectrum model used is Chase's model [D. M. Chase, J. Sound Vib. 70, 29–67 (1980)], adjusted according to the local parameters of the flow. The results obtained with this method agree with experimental results. In order to test various types of structure, this technique on a scale model has considerable advantages compared with experimentations on a real structure: limited expense, experimental ease, and reliability.
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.
