1. AbstractA method is presented to determine the omni-directional and directional far-field

pressures radiated by cylindrical transducer arrays in an infinite rigid cylindrical

baffle. The solution to the Helmholtz equation and the displacement continuity

condition at the interface between the array and the surrounding water are used to

determine the pressure. The displacement of the surface of each piston transducer

is in the direction of the normal to the array and is assumed to be uniform.

Expressions are derived for the pressure radiated by a sector of the array vibrating

in-phase, the entire array vibrating in-phase, and a sector of the array phase-shaded

to simulate radiation from a rectangular piston. It is shown that the uniform

displacement required for generating a source level of 220 dB ref. Pa at 1 m that

is omni-directional in the azimuthal plane is in the order of 1m for typical arrays.Numerical results are presented to show that there is only a small difference

between the on-axis pressures radiated by phased cylindrical arrays and planar

arrays.

surface of the cylinder represents the radiating face of one transducer. The radius

and length of the array are a and 2L, respectively. There are Mtransducers in thecircumferential direction. =2/Mis the angle subtended by each stave at the

center. Each stave hasNtransducers in the vertical direction. It is assumed thatthe array is in an infinite, rigid, cylindrical baffle that is not shown.

the arc ACB radiate. Each stave is delayed by an appropriate amount to simulateradiation from the chord AB. The delay applied to the mth stave with center

at D is ED. An additional delay OFis applied to all the staves. Therefore, the

total delay is .
