Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An acoustic measurement device in an air flow and subjected to a noise source, the device including: a base having a surface in contact with the air flow, a first microphone which is mounted flush with the surface, a second and a third microphone which are mounted on either side of the first microphone, each, at the bottom of a cavity opening onto the surface, and where each of the second and third microphones is covered with a noise-reducing element, the second and the third microphones being assembled at a distance from the first microphone that is greater than the correlation length of the turbulent phenomenon in the frequency band studied, and a computer or processor provided for computing the power spectrum of the noise source from the signals detected by the three microphones.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An acoustic measurement device for use in an air flow and for being subjected to a noise source, the device comprising: a base having a surface in contact with the air flow; a first microphone which is mounted flush with the surface; second and third microphones mounted on either side of the first microphone, each at a bottom of a cavity which opens onto the surface, wherein each of the second and third microphones is covered with a noise-reducing element, the second and the third microphones being assembled at a distance from the first microphone that is greater than a correlation length of a turbulent phenomenon in a frequency band studied, and a computer configured for computing a power spectrum of the noise source from signals detected by the three microphones. 2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the second and third microphones are arranged on either side of a line running through a center of the first microphone and which is parallel with a direction of flow. 3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein each cavity has a shape of a cone, a base of which is flush with the surface and an axis of which is perpendicular to the surface.
