Abstract
Pressure drag and noise level are two key parameters related to flow past a bluff body, thus various active and passive methods have been developed to reduce the drag and noise. The paper presents a passive method of simultaneously reducing the pressure drag and aerodynamic noise associated with flow past a smooth circular cylinder by placing a porous material plate (PMP) downstream the cylinder. Multi-points instantaneous wall pressure and far-field acoustic pressure have been measured in an anechoic wind-tunnel facility. The experimental results confirm that the PMP is effective to reduce both the pressure drag and the noise level, showing an attractive advantage compared with the impermeable splitter plate and porous coating. Parametric studies reveal effects of the pores per inch (PPI) of PMP, PMP-cylinder spacing and incoming flow velocity on the pressure drag and noise level.
