104 CHAPTER 6. NOISE CONTROL4. Minimize <strong>the</strong> tip speed <strong>of</strong> rotors5. Avoid obstacles in <strong>the</strong> flow or adapt <strong>the</strong> obstacles (see Figure 6.7).6. Do not point <strong>the</strong> flow outlet at <strong>the</strong> panels.7. Improve <strong>the</strong> geometry <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> flow (minimize bends, narrowings). SeeFigure 6.8.8. Use special nozzles (e.g. Figure 6.9).Figure 6.5: Slicer with cavity near <strong>the</strong> blades.Shocks and pulsationsShocks are generated by a rapid discharge <strong>of</strong> a compressed medium in anarea <strong>of</strong> low pressure. This happens, for example, when opening and closinga valve in a pump. A single shock produces a broadband noise, but periodicshocks result in a tonal noise. The noise generated by this phenomenon canbe reduced by ei<strong>the</strong>r slowing down <strong>the</strong> pressure variation or reducing <strong>the</strong>pressure difference.
