| Abstract | A spherical harmonic expansion for the sound field due to a rotating oscillating point source has recently been derived. This paper provides further confirmation of the expansion results by comparing it with two known numerical approaches to determining the sound field. In the advanced time approach-applicable for Mach numbers below 1-the sound at transmission time determines the field at an observation point from the distance from source to observation point at the transmission time. In the retarded time approach the field at the observation point at the observation time is determined by solving for the retarded transmission times. The results from all three approaches are shown to be in good agreement. Expressions for the far-field instantaneous frequency are also derived and shown to agree with previous work. © 2011 Acoustical Society of America. |
