Abstract

Near-field acoustical holography (NAH) is a powerful tool for identifying noise sources and visualizing acoustic field. By recording the acoustic pressures in the near-field, the acoustic quantities in the whole 3-D field can be reconstructed and predicted. However, the current theory of NAH is not applicable to tracking large scale moving noise sources. Therefore, the hybrid near-field acoustical holography is developed for reconstructing acoustic radiation, which is derived from statistically optimized near-field acoustical holography (SONAH) and moving frame acoustical holography (MFAH). The theoretical formulation is systematically addressed. This method enables us to visualize the noise generated by moving noise sources and the measurement array can be smaller than the source, which improves the practicability and efficiency of this technology. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the advantages of hybrid NAH. Then, two experiments have been carried out with a line array of hydrophones. The results of simulations and experiments support the proposed theory, which shows the advantage of hybrid NAH in the reconstruction of an acoustic field in an underwater holographic measurement.
