Abstract
We present the results of a study of the space-frequency energy distribution of the near acoustic field of noise radiation from a moving source. Dynamic spectrograms of the received signal of noise radiation in the frequency range of 0–2.0 kHz at distances of up to 1300 m are given. It is shown that the variation in the levels of spectral components of the signal due to interference modulation in the near field can attain 12 dB. The interference pattern is shown to occur over the entire range of considered distances of 100–1300m. Within the framework of ray theory, using hydrological data for C(z) in the region of measurements, we calculate the near field for a lumped noise source. The calculation results are in good agreement with the results of field experiments. It is shown that the sound velocity profile C(z) in the region of measurements has a pronounced influence on the interference pattern of the near field. Allowance for C(z) in the calculations of the near acoustic field within the framework of the existing theory allows one to predict the interference pattern and choose optimal distances for measurements under near-field conditions.
