Nature and causes of flow-induced noise on a sonar with towed triplet array receiver
article
In the design of towed array sonar receivers the reduction of flow-induced noise is an important issue. In this paper theory on flow noise and several methods to analyse flow noise are presented. These methods are applied to sea trial data of an experimental triplet array. The obtained results agree well with accepted theory. It appears that the methods in combination provide not only the levels, but also the causes of flow noise.
