Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device for measuring a sound source distribution in three-dimensional space is provided in which tracer particles included around an object are irradiated with a two-dimensional laser sheet within an x-y plane at two times separated by a short time interval, images of the irradiated tracer particles are taken, and two in-plane velocity components of the tracer particles in the laser sheet and one out-of-plane velocity component perpendicular to the laser sheet are measured based on the images taken. Further, the velocity field of the three velocity components in three-dimensional space is measured by obtaining three velocity components within a plurality of planes spaced apart in a z-axis direction perpendicular to the laser sheet and stacking the three velocity components within the plurality of planes in the z-axis direction. The sound source distribution around the object is measured from the velocity field.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A device for measuring a sound source distribution in three-dimensional space, the device comprising: a particle image velocimetry system that irradiates, with laser light, tracer particles included in a flow field around an object at two times that are separated by a short time interval, and measures a velocity field of three velocity components in three-dimensional space from images at the two times of the tracer particles irradiated with the laser l…
