Abstract

Conventional near-field acoustical holography (NAH) requires a coherent field. For a coherent source, a scan-based approach can be used with one reference microphone to stitch the phase. For a noncoherent field, scan-based NAH can be performed if the virtual coherence technique is used. This technique uses multiple reference microphones to decompose the partial field into mutually uncorrelated partial fields, which are then processed by some NAH method. In particular, the statistically optimized near-field acoustical holography (SONAH) method is used with modified Tikhonov regularization. Numerical experiments are performed on a series of point sources with source strengths chosen to mimic the source characteristics of high-powered jets. The experiments are designed to aid in determining the proper number and location of reference microphones for doing NAH work on high-powered jet noise.
