Sidelobes can be decreased by increasing the number of microphones. However, if the investigated phenomenon is steady, then there is a cost-effective alternative: performing asynchronous measurements using phased arrays having a limited number of microphones. The single beamforming maps can be combined in order to arrive at results that are superior in resolution and sidelobe levels. This technique has been investigated in the literature, but according to the authors’ best knowledge, has not yet been applied to turbomachinery. This article introduces a means for applying the asynchronous measurement technique and the combination methods for rotating noise sources. The combination methods are demonstrated on two rotating point sources (both in simulations and measurements), and then on an axial flow fan test case. In the case of the two rotating point sources, the achievable improvement in resolution, average-, and maximum sidelobe levels are shown as compared to the single results. In the case of the axial flow fan, it is demonstrated that the combination methods provide more reliable noise source locations and reveal further noise sources.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2591-7811}, orcid-numbers = {Horváth, Csaba/0000-0002-5154-9760} } @misc{MTMT:34518816, title = {International Journal of Turbomachinery, Propulsion and Power.

The interaction of such flows with solid surfaces can generate excessive aero-acoustic noise making the application of the photoacoustic detection method seemingly impossible. Yet, the fully open photoacoustic cell (OC) has proven to be operable even when the measured gas flows through it at a velocity of several m/s. The OC is a slightly modified version of a previously introduced OC based on the excitation of a combined acoustic mode of a cylindrical resonator. The noise characteristics and analytical performance of the OC are tested in an anechoic room and under field conditions.

Consequently, the coaxially aligned rotors have appeared in the fixed-wing aircraft sector and are appearing in the quickly developing unmanned aerial vehicle sector, where they are expected to play a significant role, especially for long haul and heavy load configurations. As their noise levels have proven to be rather significant, the localization and reduction of the noise of such counter-rotating blade sets is a relevant topic of interest. One of the dominant contributors to counter-rotating rotor noise is interaction tones. Interaction tones appear at combinations of the harmonics of the blade passing frequencies of the two rotors and are significant throughout the spectra. In this paper, an automated method is presented that analyzes an entire series of beamforming noise source maps using principal component analysis-based methods in order to identify the dom- inant noise generation mechanisms in frequency bins that are associated with interaction tones. The processing technique is presented herein through the investigation of counter-rotating open rotor datasets developed for a fixed-wing aircraft configuration. With the proposed method, an objective mean has been provided for separating apart contributions from various noise sources, which can be automated, mak- ing the processing and investigation of large sets of measurement data rather quick and easy. The method has been developed such that the results of the analysis are easy to comprehend even without specialized prior knowledge in the area of counter-rotating rotor noise.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1089-7666}, pages = {047105-047105-16}, orcid-numbers = {Fenyvesi, Bence/0000-0001-7073-2424; Kriegseis, J./0000-0002-2737-2539; Horváth, Csaba/0000-0002-5154-9760} } @article{MTMT:32651252, title = {Segmented ROSI method: Beamforming method for investigating turbomachinery noise sources along segmented trajectories}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32651252}, author = {Zhang, Haitian and Kocsis, Bálint and Horváth, Csaba}, doi = {10.3397/1/37705}, journal-iso = {NOISE CONTROL ENG J}, journal = {NOISE CONTROL ENGINEERING JOURNAL}, volume = {70}, unique-id = {32651252}, issn = {0736-2501}, abstract = {The rotating source identifier (ROSI) beamforming method is a method designed for localizing rotating noise sources in a uniform flow based on out-of-flow acoustic pressure field measurement data. It has been developed for sources moving along a circular trajectory, such as turbomachinery blades. The original ROSI method processes the measured acoustic signals over a long time segment to reconstruct the noise sources, providing time-averaged results for each noise source. By doing so, it does not take into consideration certain features of the noise sources, such as the directivity of the trailing edge and leading-edge noise sources. A further development of the ROSI method is presented herein, which separates the sound-pressure signal of one revolution into multiple segments. In this way, the beamforming maps can provide one with a better understanding of the differences between the noise sources as a function of angular position. This method will be referred to herein as the segmented ROSI method. The goal of this further development is to improve the capability of the method in identifying the position-dependent modulations of the various noise sources as they are moving along their trajectories, rotating around the axis. The investigation presents the theory behind the new segmented ROSI method along with simulation and measurement-based test cases which help in comparing the new method to the original ROSI method. The results show that the novel method provides a strong tool for investigating turbomachinery noise sources that vary along segments of their trajectories. It is therefore expected that the tool will be useful in cases that look at turbomachinery from an angle and cases where the loading of the blades changes as a function of angular position.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {0736-2501}, pages = {62-76}, orcid-numbers = {Horváth, Csaba/0000-0002-5154-9760} } @article{MTMT:32605932, title = {Identification of Turbomachinery Noise Sources via Processing Beamforming Data Using Principal Component Analysis}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32605932}, author = {Fenyvesi, Bence and Horváth, Csaba}, doi = {10.3311/PPme.18555}, journal-iso = {PERIOD POLYTECH MECH ENG}, journal = {PERIODICA POLYTECHNICA-MECHANICAL ENGINEERING}, volume = {66}, unique-id = {32605932}, issn = {0324-6051}, abstract = {Complex turbomachinery systems produce a wide range of noise components. The goal is to identify noise source categories, determine their characteristic noise patterns and locations. Researchers can then use this information to quantify the impact of these noise sources, based on which new design guidelines can be proposed. Phased array microphone measurements processed with acoustic beamforming technology provide noise source maps for pre-determined frequency bands (i.e., bins) of the investigated spectrum. However, multiple noise generation mechanisms can be active in any given frequency bin. Therefore, the identification of individual noise sources is difficult and time consuming when using conventional methods, such as manual sorting. This study presents a method for combining beamforming with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) methods in order to identify and separate apart turbomachinery noise sources with strong harmonics. The method is presented through the investigation of Counter-Rotating Open Rotor (CROR) noise sources. It has been found that the proposed semi-automatic method was able to extract even weak noise source patterns that repeat throughout the data set of the beamforming maps. The analysis yields results that are easy to comprehend without special prior knowledge and is an effective tool for identifying and localizing noise sources for the acoustic investigation of various turbomachinery applications.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1587-379X}, pages = {32-50}, orcid-numbers = {Fenyvesi, Bence/0000-0001-7073-2424; Horváth, Csaba/0000-0002-5154-9760} }
