Sound processing is one the subjects that newly attracts a lot of researchers. It is efficient and usually less expensive than other methods. In this paper the flow generated sound is used to estimate the flow speed of free flows. Many sound samples are gathered. After analyzing the data, a parameter named wave power is chosen. For all samples the wave power is calculated and averaged for each ...

An ultrasonic transit time flowmeter was tested over Reynolds numbers from 1000 to 100 000 in a calibration facility that generates gas flows with controlled temperature and composition. The gas mixtures were composed of air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and argon, and the mixture temperature ranged from 290 K to 450 K. The test program was conducted to determine the sensitivity of th...

The process by which sound is propagated in the head of a toothed whale is still a subject of discussion. Investigating the distribution of acoustic impedance calculated by density and Young's modulus is effective for quantitative comprehension because acoustic impedance determines the reflection coefficient of a sound wave. However, the sound propagation process of the toothed whale has been m...
