Low-frequency noise sources in heated single-stream jets were identified by cross-correlating turbulent density fluctuations ρ′ with the far-field sound pressure fluctuations p′. The turbulent density fluctuations were measured by a molecular Rayleigh-scattering technique. For a fixed jet velocity Uj, the normalized correlation coefficient 〈ρ′; p′〉/(ρ′rmsp′rms is found to increase progressively with an increase in the plume temperature (subscript rms stands for root-mean-square). The result indicates an improvement of the noise radiation efficiency with heating. Directly measured noise spectra from fixed velocity jets with increasing temperature ratio show confusing trends. However, if such spectra are normalized by theplume density, then a consistent trend of increasing noise level with increased plume temperature emerges. The increased noise is the most prominent at the low-frequency end, consistent with the correlation data. The effect of increasing jet velocity keeping the plume temperature constant was also studied. The correlation coefficients were found to improve significantly with velocity; a result consistent with prior observation from unheated jets. Additional findings on the time-averaged density variations and the changes in the air density fluctuations with increasing plume temperature are also discussed.

This paper deals with the topic of upper surface blowing noise. Using a model-scale rectangular nozzle of an aspect ratio of 10 and a sharp trailing edge, detailed noise contours were acquired with and without a subsonic jet blowing over a flat surface to determine the noise source location as a function of frequency. Additionally, velocity scaling of the upper surface blowing noise was carried out. It was found that the upper surface blowing increases the noise significantly. This is a result of both the trailing edge noise and turbulence downstream of the trailing edge, referred to as wake noise in the paper. It was found that low-frequency noise with a peak Strouhal number of 0.02 originates from the trailing edge whereas the high-frequency noise with the peak in the vicinity of Strouhal number of 0.2 originates near the nozzle exit. Low frequency (low Strouhal number) follows a velocity scaling corresponding to a dipole source where as the high Strouhal numbers as quadrupole sources. The culmination of these two effects is a cardioid-shaped directivity pattern. On the shielded side, the most dominant noise sources were at the trailing edge and in the near wake. The trailing edge mounting geometry also created anomalous acoustic diffraction indicating that not only is the geometry of the edge itself important, but also all geometry near the trailing edge.

The gas extraction wells are in Amazonian rainforest and by them there are their industrial facilities. The pipeline has about 800 km with four pumps stations and two compressor stations. The challenge of conducting sound measurements was important-there is no specialized literature-and other noise "sources" are howler monkeys, cicadidae chirping, woodpeckers, trees´foliage, etc. However the problem is simply because those fixed industrial facilities are the only ones. People live in isolated hamlet on the side of dirt roads, so they are exposed 24/7 to the continuous noise; at homes 4 km away from the plants the sound level is 60 dBC, but in the spectrum of ILFN tones could not be identified. This Paper presents the procedures that were developed to identify the ILFN tones, improving the methods proposed in ISO 1996-2, writing a software that "automatically eliminates" the sound levels that don´t belong to the industry,

Low-frequency noise of the structures with Ge-nanoclusters of rather high surface density grown on the oxidized silicon surface is investigated for the first time. It was revealed that the 1/f γ noise, where γ is close to unity, is the typical noise component. Nevertheless, the 1/f γ noise sources were found to be distributed nonuniformly upon the oxidized silicon structure with Ge-nanoclusters. The noise features revealed were analyzed in the framework of widely used noise models. However, the models used appeared to be unsuitable to explain the noise behavior of the structures studied. The physical processes that should be allowed for to develop the appropriate noise model are discussed.

An end-to-end LES/FW-H noise prediction model has been demonstrated and validated with acoustic and flowfield data from a dual stream nozzle with pylon experiment conducted at NASA GRC using their Jet Engine Simulator (JES) geometry. Results show a large region of high turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the wake of the pylon. Acoustic Source Localization (ASL) studies using our numerical phased array methodology show this wake region to be the principle location of low frequency noise sources while higher frequency sources occur nearer to the nozzle lips. Numerical simulations have also been conducted on Jet-Surface Interaction (JSI) effects of a supersonic jet exhausting parallel to a finite surface. Time-averaged LES data and far-field noise predictions have been obtained for multiple surface locations as well as for an isolated jet nozzle. For upstream observers located below the surface, results show an increase in low-frequency noise over what was predicted for the isolated nozzle due to JSI effects and decrease in high-frequency noise due to shielding. This was significantly more pronounced for an over-expanded jet than for an under-expanded jet, an effect that was primarily attributed to the shorter core length of the over-expanded jet.

A review of recent results concerning the low frequency noise in modern CMOS devices is given. The approaches such as the carrier number and the Hooge mobility fluctuations used for the analysis of the noise sources are illustrated through experimental data obtained on advanced CMOS generations. Furthermore, the impact on the electrical noise of the shrinking of CMOS devices in the deep submicron range is also shown.

There is a need in the United States for some Federal or prominent standards organization to publish limits in residential areas for low frequency noise attributable to industrial sources. This paper proposes maximum limits based on experience in investigating and solving low frequency noise problems, principally from open cycle combustion turbine installations The author believes the recommended C-weighted limits in this paper are applicable to most common steady low-frequency noise sources in addition to combustion turbines due to the combined tonal and broadband character of the sound. It is hoped standardizing bodies can add this reference to the larger body of literature to arrive at a workable sorely-needed standard.

ABSTRACTSources for low frequency noise in polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors are analytically investigated. The grain boundary is modeled as symmetric Schottky barrier and a new device equation for current conduction in thin-film transistors is presented. At lower currents where barrier height is large enough to provide necessary distribution of time constants for 1/f noise, the number fluctuation via barrier height modulation at the grain boundary is found to be the main noise generation mechanism. At higher currents, mobility and diffusivity fluctuation are found to be dominant
