Acquiring data in rocket engines that is representative of the actual dynamic environment can often be difficult due to a multitude of influences. One source of contamination that is often not considered entirely is the response associated with the acoustic cavity created by a sensor offset. It is common to offset a sensor due to various reasons such as for mounting accessibility, thermal isolation, shock reduction, or prevention of debris impingement. While estimating the natural frequency of the acoustic cavity is straightforward, limited analysis has been described on the determination of the overall frequency response. The sensor port design approach usually attempts to ensure the port is short enough such that the acoustic response is negligible near the frequency-of-interest, but this requires knowledge of the frequency response and simple rules-of-thumb are not always guaranteed. Data correction and/or data interpretation is also often desired for an unsatisfactory response. The limited response analysis in the literature only offers approximations or neglects important contributions. A new approach is devised theoretically and computationally that captures the true acoustic response of a sensor port. This paper summarizes the acoustics background, the port response theoretical development, and provides comparisons of a port acoustic response using an analytical model and computational acoustics. The effects of nonlinear acoustics are also examined. Additionally, the paper summarizes the design of a specialized filter using the predicted sensor port response that can be applied to data for correction.
