A note on the use of intensity vector maps for source identification
Daniel Juvé · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1988
A procedure to identify noise sources from intensity vector maps is presented. It is based on the minimization, in a mean-squares sense, of the difference between the measured intensity field and an estimated one. The sensitivity of this inversion scheme to small random errors in the data is then studied by numerical simulations. It is shown that good estimates of the positions and strengths of the noise sources are obtained only when the measurements are made in the close vicinity of the source region.
