- A sound pressure generator according to a first embodiment will be described below with reference to
FIGS. 1 to 8 . -
Test equipment 9 is equipment for testing the acoustic performance of an acoustic device. - For example, the
test equipment 9 may be equipment for testing the acoustic performance of anacoustic device 6 provided in acombustor 7 of a gas turbine 8, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . - The
acoustic device 6 is a device configured to dampen vibrations generated in thecombustor 7 during combustion. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , thetest equipment 9 includes asound pressure generator 1, a pipe 2 and an air source 3. - For example, the
test equipment 9 may be used during element testing of theacoustic device 6. - The element testing of the
acoustic device 6 may, for example, be performed solely on thecombustor 7 of theacoustic device 6 of the gas turbine 8, as illustrated inFIG. 2 . - The pipe 2 extends from the
sound pressure generator 1 into thecombustor 7. - For example, the pipe 2 may be a straight pipe extending from the
sound pressure generator 1 into thecombustor 7. - The air source 3 sends air to the pipe 2 via the
sound pressure generator 1. - The air source 3 may, for example, be a compressor or a fan.
- The
test equipment 9 may further include a test lid 4. - The test lid 4 closes the opening on the
sound pressure generator 1 side of thecombustor 7 around the pipe 2. - The pipe 2 extends through the test lid 4 into the
combustor 7. - The
sound pressure generator 1 is a device configured to generate sound pressure by applying vibration to air. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 , thesound pressure generator 1 includes atube portion 11, arotor 12, and adrive unit 13. - For example, the
sound pressure generator 1 may be provided between the air source 3 and the pipe 2. - Further, the
sound pressure generator 1 may generate sound pressure by applying vibration to air supplied from the air source 3 to the pipe 2. - A flow path A11 in the
tube portion 11 extends in a tube axial direction DT. - For example, the
tube portion 11 may be in communication with the pipe 2 such that the air supplied from the air source 3 is guided to the pipe 2 via the flow path A11. - For example, the flow path A11 may be a rectangular flow path having a rectangular cross-section perpendicular to the tube axial direction DT.
- Further, a column axis CX may extend in the Y direction, and the tube axial direction DT may extend in the Z direction.
- Further, the Y direction may be orthogonal to the Z direction, and the 35 direction orthogonal to the Z direction and Y direction may be the X direction.
- The
rotor 12 has a columnar shape with the column axis CX extending in a direction intersecting the tube axial direction DT in the flow path A11. - The
rotor 12 can generate sound pressure by rotating about the column axis CX. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , a cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 12 sectioned across the column axis CX includes a pointed first tip TP1, a pointed second tip TP2, and a long axis LX on which the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 are aligned. - For example, the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12 sectioned across the column axis CX may further include a short axis SX that is shorter than the long axis LX and orthogonal to the long axis LX. - Here, the “long axis” is the longest line segment that is uniquely defined between points on the outer periphery of the cross-sectional shape SS.
- The “short axis” is the shortest line segment that is uniquely defined between points on the outer periphery of the cross-sectional shape SS.
- The first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 may each have a sharply tapered shape, for example.
- The first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 may each be curved and pointed, for example.
- The cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12 may, for example, be symmetric about the long axis LX. Further, the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 12 may be symmetric about the short axis SX. Here, the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 12 may be a section cut perpendicular to the column axis CX. - The cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12 may, for example, be long in the direction in which the long axis LX extends. - The cross-sectional area of the flow path A11 having a section orthogonal to the tube axial direction DT and the cross-sectional area of the
rotor 12 having a section including the long axis LX and the column axis CX may, for example, be substantially the same. - In the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12, the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 may, for example, be connected by a pair of arcs CA. - The cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12 may be a shape where two circles each having a diameter greater than the distance between the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 and that pass through the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 overlap each other. Here, the diameters of the two circles may be equal. - The cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12 may be that of a rugby ball that is vertically divided into two equal portions. - The flow path A11 may have a duct diameter DD in a direction orthogonal to the column axis CX, and the diameter of the pair of arcs CA may be larger than the duct diameter DD.
- As in Valve D illustrated in
FIG. 5 , in the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 12, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc CA of the pair of arcs CA may be 40/49.6 or less. - As in Valve E illustrated in
FIG. 5 , in the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 12, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc CA of the pair of arcs CA may be 30/49.6 or less. - As in Valve F illustrated in
FIG. 5 , in the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 12, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc CA of the pair of arcs CA may be 20/49.6 or less. - In addition, in
FIG. 5 , “Diameter” indicates the diameter of each arc CA of the pair of arcs CA, and “Width” indicates the length of the short axis SX in the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 12. - The
drive unit 13 rotates therotor 12. - For example, the
drive unit 13 may cause therotor 12 to rotate about the column axis CX with the column axis CX as the center of rotation. - For example, the
drive unit 13 may be a motor. - Next, the operation of the
sound pressure generator 1 of the present embodiment will be described. - As illustrated in
FIG. 6 , air AIR is sent from the air source 3 to the flow path A11. - At this time, when the
rotor 12 rotates, the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 approach and separate from aninner wall 11W of thetube portion 11 defining the flow path A11. - When the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 approach the
inner wall 11W, the flow path A11 is blocked, and it becomes harder for the air AIR to flow. - On the other hand, when the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 separate from the
inner wall 11W, the flow path A11 opens widely, and it becomes easier for the air AIR to flow. - Thus, when the
rotor 12 rotates, the conductance of the flow path A11 changes periodically. - Therefore, the flow rate of the air AIR varies periodically according to the periodic change in the conductance of the flow path A11, which generates sound pressure.
- According to the present embodiment, since the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12 is a shape having a pair of pointed tips aligned on the long axis LX, the period for which therotor 12 blocks the flow path A11 can be shortened. - Thus, the
sound pressure generator 1 can suppress distortion of sound pressure. - When sound pressure distortion can be suppressed, the
sound pressure generator 1 can generate large sound pressure. - In addition, according to the example of the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12 is constituted by curved lines to form the shape where the pair of arcs CA are joined. - As a result, harmonics of sound pressure can be suppressed.
- Further, according to the example of the present embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 7 , the sound pressure generated by thesound pressure generator 1 is a waveform wider than a sine wave in the RG1 region in which the flow path A11 is closed by therotor 12, and is a waveform close to a sine wave in the RG2 region in which the flow path A11 is opened by therotor 12. - On the other hand, according to the example of the present embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 8 , the harmonic components of sound pressure generated by thesound pressure generator 1 are suppressed. - When, as a comparative example, the rotor has a cylindrical shape with flattened portions on the periphery as illustrated in
FIG. 9 , the period for which the rotor blocks the flow path A11 is longer than that of the present embodiment. - Thus, as shown in
FIG. 10 , the sound pressure becomes distorted. - In contrast, according to the present embodiment, the period for which the
rotor 12 blocks the flow path A11 can be shortened as described above. - As a result, as compared to the comparative example, the
sound pressure generator 1 can generate sound pressure having a waveform close to a sine wave and harmonics are suppressed, as shown inFIGS. 7 and 8 . - In addition, according to the example of the present embodiment, since the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12 is symmetrical about the long axis LX, thesound pressure generator 1 can further suppress the distortion of sound pressure. - According to the example of the present embodiment, since the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112 is a shape including the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 that are pointed and curved, the integrity of thesound pressure generator 1 is improved. - According to the example of the present embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12, the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 are connected by a pair of arcs CA. - Thus, since the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12 is a shape achieved by superimposing two circles, therotor 12 can have a simple shape. - Accordingly, it is easy to design and fabricate the
rotor 12. - Further, according to the example of the present embodiment, the diameter of each arc CA of the pair of arcs CA is larger than that of the duct diameter DD.
- Thus, the
rotor 12 can be made thin so that expansion of the cross-sectional shape SS to the direction intersecting the long axis LX is reduced. - As a result, the time for which the
rotor 12 blocks the flow path A11 can be shortened. - Therefore, the
sound pressure generator 1 can further suppress the distortion of sound pressure. - Further, according to the example of the present embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc CA of the pair of arcs CA is 40/49.6 or less. - Furthermore, according to the example of the present embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc CA of the pair of arcs CA is 30/49.6 or less. - Furthermore, according to the example of the present embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 12, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc CA of the pair of arcs CA is 20/49.6 or less. - Thus, the
rotor 12 can be made thin so that expansion of the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 12 to the direction intersecting the short axis SX is reduced. - As a result, the time for which the
rotor 12 blocks the flow path A11 can be shortened. - Therefore, the
sound pressure generator 1 can further suppress the distortion of sound pressure. - In addition, according to the example of the present embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the flow path A11 having a section orthogonal to the tube axial direction DT and the cross-sectional area of the
rotor 12 having a section including the long axis LX and the column axis CX are substantially the same. - Thus, the
rotor 12 can temporarily close the flow path A11. - Thus, the
sound pressure generator 1 can generate large sound pressure. - Next, a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to
FIGS. 11 to 15 . - The configuration of a
sound pressure generator 101 of the present embodiment is similar to the configuration of thesound pressure generator 1 of the first embodiment apart from the points described below. - As illustrated in
FIG. 11 , thesound pressure generator 101 includes thetube portion 11, arotor 112, and thedrive unit 13. - The
test equipment 9 may, for example, include the sound pressure 35generator 101 instead of thesound pressure generator 1. - The
rotor 112 has a columnar shape with a column axis CX extending in a direction intersecting the tube axial direction DT in the flow path A11. - The
rotor 112 can generate sound pressure by rotating about the column axis CX. - As illustrated in
FIG. 12 , the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112 sectioned across the column axis CX includes a pointed first tip TP1, a pointed second tip TP2, and a long axis LX on which the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 are aligned. - The cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112 may, for example, further include the short axis SX that is shorter than the long axis LX and orthogonal to the long axis LX. - The first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 may, for instance, have a sharply tapered shape.
- The first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 may, for example, be curved and pointed.
- The cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112 may, for example, be symmetric about the long axis LX. Further, the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112 may be symmetric about the short axis SX. Here, the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112 may be a section cut perpendicular to the column axis CX. - The cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112 may, for example, be long in the direction in which the long axis LX extends. - The cross-sectional area of the flow path A11 having a section orthogonal to the tube axial direction DT and the cross-sectional area of the
rotor 112 having a section including the long axis LX and the column axis CX may, for example, be substantially the same. - In the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112, the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 may, for example, be connected by a pair of first arcs CA1 that extend from the first tip TP1, a pair of second arcs CA2 that extend from the second tip TP2, and a pair of parallel straight lines SL extending between the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2. - The diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2 may, for example, be larger than the duct diameter DD.
- As in Valve G illustrated in
FIG. 13 , in the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2 may be 20/49.6 or less. - As in Valve H illustrated in
FIG. 13 , in the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2 may be 15/49.6 or less. - As in the Valve I illustrated in
FIG. 13 , in the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2 may be 10/49.6 or less. - As in Valve J illustrated in
FIG. 13 , in the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2 may be 5/49.6 or less. - Note that, in
FIG. 13 , “Diameter” indicates the diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2, and “Width” indicates the length of the short axis SX in the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112. - According to the present embodiment, since the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112 is a shape having a pair of pointed tips aligned on the long axis LX, the period for which therotor 112 blocks the flow path A11 can be shortened. - Thus, the
sound pressure generator 101 can suppress distortion of sound pressure. - When the distortion of sound pressure can be suppressed, the
sound pressure generator 101 can generate large sound pressure. - In addition, according to the example of the present embodiment, since the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112 is symmetric about the long axis LX, thesound pressure generator 101 can suppress the distortion of sound pressure. - According to the example of the present embodiment, since the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112 is a shape including the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 that are pointed and curved, the integrity of thesound pressure generator 101 is improved. - According to the example of the present embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112, the first tip TP1 and the second tip TP2 are connected by the pair of first arcs CA1 that extend from the first tip TP1, the pair of second arcs CA2 that extend from the second tip TP2, and the pair of parallel straight lines SL that extend between the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2. - Thus, the
rotor 112 can be made thin so that expansion of the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112 to the short axis SX direction is reduced. - As a result, the period for which the
rotor 112 blocks the flow path A11 can be shortened. - Thus, the
sound pressure generator 101 can further suppress the distortion of sound pressure. - In addition, according to the example of the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112 includes a portion constituted by curved lines and a portion constituted by parallel lines to have the shape formed by the pair of first arcs CA1, the pair of second arcs CA2, and the pair of parallel straight lines SL. - Because a portion of the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112 is constituted by curved lines, harmonics of the sound pressure can be suppressed in the same way as in the first embodiment. - Meanwhile, because a portion of the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112 is constituted by parallel lines, the opening area of the flow path A11 can be suddenly and rapidly expanded by the rotor 112 (instantaneous opening). As a result, the sharpness of the waveform of the generated sound pressure can be increased (waveform can be sharpened) and the sound pressure can be brought closer to a sine wave. Note that the rotational position of therotor 112 at the moment when the opening area of the flow path A11 suddenly expands is a position where the long axis LX is parallel to theinner wall 11W. - Thus, the waveform of the sound pressure generated by the
rotor 112 is improved to approach the form of a sine wave. - When the waveform of the sound pressure generated by the
rotor 112 can be brought closer to a sine wave, thesound pressure generator 101 can generate large sound pressure. - According to the example of the present embodiment, the
sound pressure generator 101 improves the waveform of the generated sound pressure to be closer to a sine wave compared to thesound pressure generator 1 of the first embodiment. - For example, as shown in
FIG. 14 , among the waveforms of the sound pressure generated by thesound pressure generator 101, even in the RG3 region in which therotor 112 closes the flow path A11, the waveform of the sound pressure generated by thesound pressure generator 101 is close to a sine wave. - As a result, the waveform of the sound pressure generated by the
sound pressure generator 101 is close to a sine wave over the entire period from when therotor 112 opens the flow path A11 to when therotor 112 closes the flow path A11. - For example, as shown in
FIG. 15 , of the frequency components of the sound pressure generated by thesound pressure generator 101, the primary component is slightly increased compared to Valve F of the first embodiment. This is believed to be due to the expansion of the pass area upon full opening of therotor 112 relative to the flow path A11. - Meanwhile, of the frequency components of the sound pressure generated by the
sound pressure generator 101, the secondary component can be seen to decrease in line with a decrease in the thickness of therotor 112. - Of the frequency components of the sound pressure generated by the
sound pressure generator 101, the tertiary component and the quaternary component are equivalent to or lower than those of Valve F of the first embodiment. - Thus, the
rotor 112, with which the primary component is high and the secondary component low, is effective as a rotor for generating sound pressure having a waveform that is close to a sine wave. - In addition, according to the example of the present embodiment, the diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2 is greater than the diameter of the duct diameter DD.
- Thus, the
rotor 112 can be made thin so that expansion of the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112 to the direction intersecting the long axis LX is reduced. - As a result, the period for which the
rotor 112 blocks the flow path A11 can be shortened. - Thus, the
sound pressure generator 101 can further suppress the distortion of sound pressure. - In addition, according to the example of the present embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2 is 20/49.6 or less. - Furthermore, according to the example of the present embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2 is 15/49.6 or less. - Furthermore, according to the example of the present embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2 is 10/49.6 or less. - Furthermore, according to the example of the present embodiment, in the cross-sectional shape SS of the
rotor 112, the ratio of the length of the short axis SX to the diameter of each arc of the pair of first arcs CA1 and the pair of second arcs CA2 is 5/49.6 or less. - Thus, the
rotor 112 can be made thin so that expansion of the cross-sectional shape SS of therotor 112 to the direction intersecting the short axis SX is reduced. - As a result, the period for which the
rotor 112 blocks the flow path A11 can be shortened. - Thus, the
sound pressure generator 101 can further suppress the distortion of sound pressure. - In addition, according to the example of the present embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the flow path A11 having a section orthogonal to the tube axial direction DT and the cross-sectional area of the
rotor 112 having a section including the long axis LX and the column axis CX are substantially the same. - Thus, the
rotor 112 can temporarily close the flow path A11. - Thus, the
sound pressure generator 101 can generate large sound pressure. - In the examples of the embodiments described above, the
