Abstract
As previously described [J. D. Maynard, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. Suppl. 174, S37 (1983)], nearfield acoustical holography can reconstruct the surface velocity and pressure over a level surface in a separable coordinate system from measusrements of the radiated pressure field over a parallel level surface. This study investigates the feasability of reconstructing the surface pressure and normal velocity over surfaces which do not conform to a level surface. Such a reconstruction involves numerically determining a distribution of surface pressure and velocity which satisfies the surface Helmholtz integral equation and which is consistent with the Helmholtz integral equation for the pressure field measured on the level surface. Details of the algorithm and results of computer simulations for a uniformly pulsating sphere and a piston set in a sphere (measurements simulated over a planar surface) are presented.
