Acoustic Characterization of a Low-Speed Closed Loop Wind Tunnel
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A low-speed closed loop wind tunnel with an open-jet test section having a maximum windspeed of 60 m/s is being modified for future aero-acoustic testing. The wind tunnel is new to Carleton University as of 2021, and no acoustic characterization tests have been completed until recently. The objective of this research is to acoustically characterize the wind tunnel before and stepwise through its acoustic modifications. Multiple tests have been made using ¼-inch microphones at different locations inside the plenum to record the existing out-of-flow background noise. The first planned wind tunnel modification is a height extension to the current plenum with dimensions 0.74×1.8×1.3 m (H×L×W) to increase the observer distance for the microphones. Once the plenum volume is increased, acoustic treatment will be applied to the interior of the plenum to create a hemi-anechoic measurement environment. An in-flow microphone mount was designed and manufactured with computer controlled vertical traversing; it will be installed after the plenum modifications are complete.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
