SPATIALLY GLOBAL NOISE CANCELLATION
Systems and methods for the reduction of noise arising from the fluid mechanics of the aerodynamic interactions of the relative motion of solid elements with a fluid, generally air, by generating pressure fields at or close to the source of the aerodynamic noise, these pressure fields having amplitudes and frequencies equivalent to those of the noise fields to be reduced, but phases opposite thereto. These generated pressure fields globally cancel the effect of the noise fields and this affect is propagated into the far field. Use is made of planar electro-thermal transducers, transforming a periodically fluctuating heat flux generated by Joule AC heating into an acoustic wave. The frequency, amplitude and phase of the noise field may be detected by microphones positioned close to points of generation of the noise field, such that the cancellation is effective over the same region as the noise field propagates.
