A note on local well-posedness of generalized KdV type equations with dissipative perturbations
In this note we report local well-posedness results for the Cauchy problems
associated to generalized KdV type equations with dissipative perturbation for
given data in the low regularity -based Sobolev spaces. The method of
proof is based on the {\em contraction mapping principle} employed in some
appropriate time weighted spaces.Comment: 14 page
Information on the Pion Distribution Amplitude from the Pion-Photon Transition Form Factor with the Belle and BaBar Data
The pion-photon transition form factor (TFF) provides strong constraints on
the pion distribution amplitude (DA). We perform an analysis of all existing
data (CELLO, CLEO, BaBar, Belle) on the pion-photon TFF by means of light-cone
pQCD approach in which we include the next-to-leading order correction to the
valence-quark contribution and estimate the non-valence-quark contribution by a
phenomenological model based on the TFF's limiting behavior at both
and . At present, the pion DA is not definitely determined, it is
helpful to have a pion DA model that can mimic all the suggested behaviors,
especially to agree with the constraints from the pion-photon TFF in whole
measured region within a consistent way. For the purpose, we adopt the
conventional model for pion wavefunction/DA that has been constructed in our
previous paper \cite{hw1}, whose broadness is controlled by a parameter . We
fix the DA parameters by using the CELLO, CLEO, BABAR and Belle data within the
smaller region ( GeV), where all the data are consistent
with each other. And then the pion-photon TFF is extrapolated into larger
region. We observe that the BABAR favors which has the behavior close
to the Chernyak-Zhitnitsky DA, whereas the recent Belle favors which
is close to the asymptotic DA. We need more accurate data at large region
to determine the precise value of , and the definite behavior of pion DA can
be concluded finally by the consistent data in the coming future.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. Slightly changed and references update
Increasing the performance of active noise control systems on ground with two vertical reflecting surfaces with an included angle
© 2019 Acoustical Society of America. This paper investigates the feasibility of increasing the noise reduction performance of active noise control (ANC) systems on ground by introducing two vertical reflecting surfaces with an included angle. By using the image source method, the theory of sound wave propagation in a wedge-shaped reflector and the integral equation method, the noise reduction of the ANC systems with two infinitely large or finite size reflecting surfaces with different included angles are studied. It is demonstrated that the noise reduction of the system can be increased significantly with two reflecting surfaces after optimizing their included angle and size. The simple empirical formulas for the optimal included angle of the surfaces and the noise reduction are presented. It is found that the noise reduction at 500 Hz increases by 13.6 dB when two vertical reflecting surfaces are arranged with an optimal angle of 125° and the source distance is 0.1 m. By optimizing the size of the reflecting surfaces to about 0.35 of the wavelength, the noise reduction can be further increased by approximately 2.8 dB. The mechanisms for the performance improvement are disclosed, and the experiments are conducted to validate the results
A near-field error sensing strategy for compact multi-channel active sound radiation control in free field
© 2019 Acoustical Society of America. Noise reduction performance of a compact active sound radiation control system is significantly affected by locations of the error microphones which are required to be installed near the primary source. In this paper, near-field error sensing for multi-channel active radiation control systems in free field is investigated, and it is found that the optimal locations of error sensors for minimizing the sum of squared sound pressure are between the primary source and the secondary sources distributed uniformly on a sphere surface surrounding the primary source. Both simulation and experiment results show that the optimal locations of error microphones are independent of the type of primary source when there are sufficient secondary sources. These optimal locations remain unchanged at low frequencies and move toward secondary sources when the secondary source number increases. Therefore, for active radiation control applications in low frequency range, a compact multi-channel system can be developed by locating error microphones between the primary source and secondary sources
Progress of research on active noise radiation control with reflecting surfaces
© INTER-NOISE 2019 MADRID - 48th International Congress and Exhibition on Noise Control Engineering. All Rights Reserved. The effect of reflecting surfaces on the peformance of active noise radiation control attracted attentions more than 20 years ago and there has been a lot of research on the area since then; however, successful applications are rarely reported. This paper first reviews the history of the research on active noise radiation control with reflecting surfaces, and then introduces recent progresses on this area at Nanjing University. The first progress is that the mechanism of noise reduction enhancement by introducing a refecting surface against the primary source in a multi-channel active sound radiation control system is analyzed. The second progress is that the noise reduction improvment by introducing an extra vertical reflecting surface to an active noise radiation control system near one existing horizontal surface is studied and the effects of the system orientation and the primary source location are discussed. The last progess is on increaseing the noise reduction by employing a finite size reflecting surface for the primary source on ground
A multi-tone sound absorber based on an array of shunted loudspeakers
© 2018 by the authors. It has been demonstrated that a single shunted loudspeaker can be used as an effective low frequency sound absorber in a duct, but many shunted loudspeakers have to be used in practice for noise reduction or reverberation control in rooms, thus it is necessary to understand the performance of an array of shunted loudspeakers. In this paper, a model for the parallel shunted loudspeaker array for multi-tone sound absorption is proposed based on a modal solution, and then the acoustic properties of a shunted loudspeaker array under normal incidence are investigated using both the modal solution and the finite element method. It was found that each shunted loudspeaker can work almost independently where each unit resonates. Based on the interaction analysis, multi-tone absorbers in low frequency can be achieved by designing multiple shunted loudspeakers with different shunt circuits respectively. The simulation and experimental results show that the normal incidence sound absorption coefficient of the designed absorber has four absorption peaks with values of 0.42, 0.58, 0.80, and 0.84 around 100 Hz, 200 Hz, 300 Hz, and 400 Hz respectively
