Abstract:
The nozzle of an acoustic jet directs high momentum flux gas particles essentially tangentially into the boundary layer of the flow in a diffuser, an engine air inlet, a jet engine gas flow path or on the suction surface of an airfoil, the gas particles in the chamber of the tangential acoustic jet being replenished with approaching low momentum flux particles drawn from the gas flow in a direction normal to the surface, thereby to provide a net time-averaged flow of increased momentum flux particles to defer the onset of boundary layer separation and/or reduce the thickness of the boundary layer. The acoustic jet is driven by a gas pressure oscillation generator which may be a loudspeaker, a resonant solenoid piston, a cranked piston, or the like.
Abstract:
An active noise (or vibration) control system having an actuator 24 which provides an acoustic anti-noise signal in response to an drive signal (U), an error sensor 16 which senses the acoustic anti-noise signal from the actuator, senses disturbance noise (d), and provides an error signal (e) indicative of a combination thereof, and a controller 20, responsive to the error signal (e), which provides the drive signal (U) to the actuator 24, is provided with controller compensation 78 having energy states 112 and having non-linear reset logic 130 which temporarily resets the energy states 112 in the filter 78 to zero when the error signal crosses zero, thereby improving the bandwidth of the active noise control system.

Abstract:
Existing pressure oscillations created by axial or centrifugal fans in a diverging shroud are utilized to power a passive, acoustic jet, the nozzle o f which directs high momentum flux gas particles essentially tangentially into the boundary layer of the flow in a diffuser, or a duct, the fluid particles in the resonant chamber of the passive acoustic jet being replenished with l ow momentum flux particles drawn from the fluid flow in a direction normal to t he surface, thereby to provide a net time averaged flow of increased momentum flux particles to defer, even eliminate, the onset of boundary layer separation in the diffuser or duct. The passive acoustic jet is used in the vicinity of fan blade tips to alleviate undesirable flow effects in the tip region, such as leakage.

An active noise (or vibration) control system having an actuator 24 which provides an acoustic anti-noise signal in response to an drive signal (U), an error sensor 16 which senses the acoustic anti-noise signal from the actuator, senses disturbance noise (d), and provides an error signal (e) indicative of a combination thereof, and a controller 20, responsive to the error signal (e), which provides the drive signal (U) to the actuator 24, is provided with controller compensation 78 having energy states 112 and having non-linear reset logic 130 which temporarily resets the energy states 112 in the filter 78 to zero when the error signal crosses zero, thereby improving the bandwidth of the active noise control system.
