    Geräuschabstrahlung von Schiffspropellern im Nachstrom
    ( 1991)
    Bartels, F.
    The hydrodynamic and acoustic behavior of a ship propeller is determined by its geometry, load and speed, location and by the non-uniform wake. Acoustical predictions are based either on experience with reliable propulsion systems or with restrictions on model tests. The contribution deals with results of experimental investigations of model propellers in non-uniform wake flows, carried out with a special designed facility for propeller acoustics, which operates on an natural lake. The origins of noise with its spectral properties as tonals, frequency distributions and noise modulation by the wake are discussed. Cavitation, at higher speeds unavoidable, is the predominant underwater noise source of a ship. Types of cavitation as bubble or sheet cause very different noise levels as far as uniform flow is concerned, but in non-uniform wake flows for conditions as the same propeller load and speed, the differences in noise levels diminish. Propeller vibrations are another noise source, wh ich have special acoustical line-spectra caused by the directivity pattern of excited propeller eigenfrequencies.

    Sound radiation of a cantilever plate - comparisons of BEM results with experimental data

    The sound radiation of a vibrating cantilever plate is investigated by a combined Finite Element / Boundary Element approach. First, in a FE-analysis the mode shapes of the plate are determined. Second, for three selected frequencies the acoustic pressure distribution around the plate is calculated using an indirect boundary element formulation. The results are compared with experimental data in order to show the accuracy and applicability of the numerical approach.

    Applying an indirect Boundary Element Method the sound radiation of a vibrating cantilever plate is investigated. The numerically obtained results are compared with measured data in order to show the accuracy and applicability of the numerical approach. The study clearly enhances the confidence in the computational solution of noise problems which are of particular importance in connection with the qualification of large spacecraft structures like HERMES.

    Finite element calculation of vibration modes of clamped propeller blades
    ( 1991)
    Homm, A.
    ;
    Bartels, F.
    The study presents results of numerical FE- calculations for modern skew propeller blades and their experimental validation. It is restricted to single clamped blades, an assumption easy to implement in the theoretical calculation but difficult to achieve in an experiment. Assumptions for the FE- calculations and the incomplete rigid clamped boundary condition in the experiment yield differences between experiment and theory, mainly in the eigenfrequencies. The fluid coupling to the structure is limited to the inviscid, incompressible case or k 1 << 1. In the limits of these assumptions the results of both, theory and experiments agree fairly.

    Determination of the sound speed in materials by measurements at thin plate samples in free-field water
    ( 1991)
    Brebeck, D.
    ;
    Tilmann, P.
    In order to determine the sound speed of a layer of an unknown material by measurements in the free-field the advantages of the velocity transfer coefficient of the layer is investigated in comparison to the more usual reflection coefficient and transmission coefficient. A few test measurements are presented which show in principal the feasibility of the sound determination using the velocity transfer coefficient.

    Recent development in measuring material parameters by a tube facility
    ( 1991)
    Brebeck, D.
    Paper describes a tube facility for investigations in underwater acoustics. The purpose is the measurement of physical parameters of materials. The device can be driven in the pulse mode and in the standing wave mode. The pulse mode delivers the echo reduction of test material at normal incidence. The standing wave mode is used to measure and calculate the input impedance of the material in magnitude and phase.

    Cavitation noise scaling. Status based on NATO RSG. Part 1. Survey of the problems in cavitation noise scaling and prediction
    ( 1991)
    Baiter, H.-J.
    Paper presents a status report on cavitation noise scaling based on work done by a relevant Nato Research Study Group (RSG). The RSG 3 was expected to find out how to improve reliability in predicting cavitation noise from model testing, and how to equalize this reliability for the various model test facilities in use.

    Experiments on vibration and sound radition of a cantilever aluminium plate were carried out. For 3 eigenfrequencies the mode shapes were visualized by the Chladni method and the directivity patterns of the radiated sound were determined by the reciprocity method. The directivity patterns could be measured for nearly the whole of all directions in a 2 degree step resolution are represented in a 3-dimensional hidden line technique.
