Experiments and analysis on a gas turbine combustor unit are reported with a view in mind to separate propagated acoustic power from non-propagating 'pseudo-sound'. Analytically, it is suggested that a transition frequency will exist below which the interior pressure fluctuations are non-propagating, whereas above this frequency, of the order of 100 Hz, the noise is dominated by propagating acoustic waves. Coherence measurements are reported which show this concept to be borne out experimentally. Coherence between interior and exterior microphones is measured over a wide range of experimental conditions for a gas turbine combustor exhausting directly to the atmosphere. The purpose is to show that below a certain frequency, measurements of interior noise are not indicative of combustion noise ultimately propagating from an engine.
