AbstractRecently strong sound wave was proposed to enhance precipitation. The theoretical basis of this proposal has not been effectively studied either experimentally or theoretically. Based on the microscopic parameters of atmospheric cloud physics, this paper solved the complex nonlinear differential equation to show the movement characteristics of cloud droplets under the action of sound waves. The motion process of individual cloud droplet in a cloud layer in the acoustic field is discussed as well as the relative motion between two cloud droplets. The effects of different particle sizes and sound field characteristics on particle motion and collision are studied to analyze the dynamic effects of thunder-level sound waves on cloud droplets. The amplitude of velocity variation has positive correlation with Sound Pressure Level (SPL) and negative correlation with the frequency of the surrounding sound field. Under the action of low-frequency sound waves with sufficient intensity, individual cloud droplets could be forced to oscillate significantly. The droplet smaller than 40μm can be easily driven by sound waves of 50 Hz and 123.4 dB. The calculation of the collision process of two droplets reveals that the disorder of motion for polydisperse droplets is intensified, resulting in the broadening of the collision time range and spatial range. When the acoustic frequency is less than 100Hz (@ 123.4dB) or the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) is greater than 117.4dB (@ 50Hz), the sound wave can affect the collision of cloud droplets significantly. This study provides theoretical perspective of acoustic effect to the microphysics of atmospheric clouds.

In order to investigate the turbulence-induced acoustic characteristics of hydrofoils, the flow and sound field for a model NH-15-18-1 asymmetric hydrofoil were calculated based on the mixed method of large eddy simulation (LES) with Lighthill analogy theory. Unsteady fluid turbulent stress source around the hydrofoil were selected as the inducements of quadrupole sound. The average velocity along the mainstream direction was calculated for different Reynolds numbers [Formula: see text]. Compared to experimental measurements, good agreement was seen over a range of [Formula: see text]. The results showed that the larger the [Formula: see text], the larger the vortex intensity, the shorter the vortex initial shedding position to the leading edge of the hydrofoil, and the higher the vortex shedding frequency [Formula: see text]. The maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of the hydrofoil was located at the trailing edge and wake of the hydrofoil, which coincided with the velocity curl [Formula: see text] distribution of the flow field. The maximum SPL of the sound field was consistent with the location of the vortex shedding. There were quadratic positive correlations between the total sound pressure level (TSPL) and the maximum value of the vortex intensity [Formula: see text] and velocity curl, which verified that shedding and diffusion of vortices are the fundamental cause of the generation of the quadrupole source noise.

The Impact

The present study aims to gain better insight into the connection between music and dance by examining the dynamic effects of the bass drum on a dancing audience in a club-like environment. One hundred adult participants moved freely in groups of five to a musical sequence that comprised six songs. Each song consisted of one section that was repeated three times, each time with a different sound pressure level of the bass drum. Hip and head movements were recorded using motion capture and motion sensing. The study demonstrates that people modify their bodily behavior according to the dynamic level of the bass drum when moving to contemporary dance music in a social context. Participants moved more actively and displayed a higher degree of tempo entrainment as the sound pressure level of the bass drum increased. These results indicate that the prominence of the bass drum in contemporary dance music serves not merely as a stylistic element; indeed, it has a strong influence on dancing itself.

<p class="AbstractEnglish"><strong>Abstract: </strong>This paper reports the test results of a loudspeaker-based acoustic energy harvester with acoustic random noise sources from a motorcycle. The harvester consists of a quarter wavelength resonator and a subwoofer type loudspeaker with a nominal diameter of 6 inches. The motorcycle used in this experiment is 135 cc Bajaj Pulsar motorsport with modified exhaust from the GBS-Motosport Jakarta. The motor engine is operated at 3000 rpm, resulting in noise with a fluctuating Sound Pressure Level (SPL) in the range of (90-93) dB. Six variations of resonator lengths are used, those are 21 cm, 31 cm, 58 cm, 85 cm, 112 cm, and 139 cm. In this test, data of dominant frequency, SPL, and output rms voltage were taken for 15 minutes. The rms voltage is measured at 100 Ω load resistor. The results show that the 112 cm resonator produces the highest average rms electrical power, that is (0.21 ± 0.01) mW, which is obtained at frequency that fluctuates within (95-120) Hz. In addition, with random sound sources, SPL and its dominant frequency fluctuate greatly, so it will greatly affect the generated electric power. Further research is needed to enhance the output electrical power and anticipate the impact of frequency fluctuation which exists in random noise sources.</p><p class="AbstractEnglish"><strong>Abstrak: </strong>Paper ini memaparkan hasil pengujian alat pemanen energi akustik berbasis <em>loudspeaker </em>dengan sumber kebisingan acak dari mesin kendaraan bermotor.

Sumber kebisingan yang digunakan adalah motor Bajaj Pulsar 135 cc dengan knalpot modifikasi dari GBS-Motosport Jakarta. Mesin motor dioperasikan pada laju putaran tetap 3000 rpm, sehingga menghasilkan kebisingan dengan <em>SPL</em> (<em>sound pressure level</em>) yang berfluktuasi dalam interval (90-93) dB. Digunakan enam variasi panjang resonator, yaitu 21 cm, 31 cm, 58 cm, 85 cm, 112 cm, dan 139 cm. Dalam pengujian ini, data frekuensi dominan kebisingan, <em>SPL</em> kebisingan, dan tegangan keluaran alat pemanen energi akustik diambil selama 15 menit. Tegangan <em>rms</em> keluaran diukur pada resistor beban 100 Ω. Hasil eksperimen menunjukkan bahwa resonator dengan panjang 112 cm menghasilkan daya listrik <em>rms</em> rata-rata tertinggi yaitu sebesar (0,21 ± 0,01) mW, diperoleh pada frekuensi yang berfluktuasi antara 95 Hz sampai 120 Hz. Selain itu, hasil eksperimen ini menunjukkan bahwa dengan sumber bunyi acak, <em>SPL</em> kebisingan dan frekuensi dominannya sangat berfluktuasi, sehingga akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap daya listrik yang dihasilkan. Penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk meningkatkan daya listrik keluaran dan mengantisipasi dampak fluktuasi frekuensi sumber kebisingan acak.</p>

Radiated Sound

Traditional acoustic evaluation of a diesel engine generally uses the A-weighted sound pressure level (AWSPL) and radiated sound power to assess the noise of an engine prototype present in an experiment. However, this cannot accurately and comprehensively reflect the auditory senses of human subjects during the simulation stage. To overcome such shortage, the Moore–Glasberg loudness and sharpness approach is applied to evaluate and improve the sound quality (SQ) of a 16 V-type marine diesel engine, and synthesizing noise audio files. Through finite element (FE) simulations, the modes of the engine’s block and the average vibrational velocity of the entire engine surface were calculated and compared with the test results. By further applying an automatically matched layer (AML) approach, the engine-radiated sound pressure level (SPL) and sound power contributions of all engine parts were obtained. By analyzing the Moore–Glasberg loudness and sharpness characteristics of three critical sound field points, an improvement strategy of the oil sump was then proposed. After improvement, both the loudness and sharpness decreased significantly. To verify the objective SQ evaluation results, ten noise audio clips of the diesel engine were then synthesized and tested. The subjective evaluation results were in accordance with the simulated analysis. Therefore, the proposed approach to analyze and improve the SQ of a diesel engine is reliable and effective.

This paper demonstrates an investigation about the active control of sound radiation in the enclosure cavity consists of two flexible plates. One of the flexible plates is driven by a point force to generate the primary sound field in the cavity, and using some point forces which are located at different locations on the receiving plate to suppressing the panel vibration and then to minimum the cavity sound pressure level (SPL); meanwhile some actuators are located on the other panel surfaces to reduce the sound pressure level at some frequencies that can’t be well reduced by only effect on one panel. The better result shows the possibility of applying distributed cooperative control method to the structural-acoustic coupled system.
