Drone noises include harmonic frequency components which are related to the rotational speed of the propeller and the number of blades. This study integrates utilization of the frequency components around harmonics into Steered Response Power - Phase Transform (SRP-PHAT). First, a custom discrete Fourier transform (namely DFT-Harmonics) is defined which concentrates only on the vicinities of harmonics to capture the frequency components possibly related to the drone sound. Then, DFT-Harmonics is integrated into SRP-PHAT, which is named SRP-Harmonics. The benefits of SRP-Harmonics are explained and illustrated via SRP maps and videos. Experiments with real microphone array data show that SRP-Harmonics is precise in localizing and tracking a drone, while the ordinary SRP-PHAT can not be reasonably successful. Moreover, SRP-Harmonics after Kaiser window can maintain its performance even when significant level of artificial white noise or natural wind noise exists in the data.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141338571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hypersonic winged standard model is utilized as the load for these simulations. The analysis encompasses the evolution of shock waves, the forces exerted on the payload and noise propagation. Variations in flow field and aeroacoustic characteristics of rocket sled are analysed, revealing underlying physical mechanisms. It is observed that placing the payload in front of the thruster can reduce the head pressure, excessive wingspan may have an impact on the structural safety of the wingtip, and the regions of high sound pressure levels mainly exists in the middle and rear sections of the rocket sled. Moreover, as the Mach number increases, the characteristic frequency initially rises and then declines. These researches can serve as a valuable reference for the development of ground test systems and single-stage-to-orbit.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141383827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Matouk","doi":"10.1177/1475472x241259103","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1475472x241259103","url":null,"abstract":"The accurate prediction of the trailing-edge noise and the determination of its sources are essential to reduce fans and propellers noise. This noise component is due to the scattering of the turbulent boundary layer into acoustic waves by the trailing edge. In this paper, the noise emanating from a CD (Controlled-Diffusion) airfoil is simulated and computed via the hybrid methods of aeroacoustics. In these methods, the aerodynamic and acoustic fields are computed separately. The flow data are obtained using the in-house LES solver SFELES. ACTRAN acoustic solver has been used to solve the acoustics and to provide the near and far fields propagation via Lighthill’s analogy. Curle’s analogy is applied as well in its integral compact formulation which takes the presence of walls into account. Curle’s formulation is applied proposing an approach where the volume and surface integrals have been implemented in SFELES to be calculated simultaneously with the flow in order to avoid the storage of noise sources which requires a huge space. In Lighthill’s analogy, sources and near field maps show that the turbulent boundary layer and wake are the more efficient sources and the center of radiation is the trailing edge. The comparison of the numerical results with the experimental measurements, performed by Moreau and Roger and Moreau et al. , shows an overall excellent agreement confirming the capability of SFELES (LES sources) combined with ACTRAN (Lighthill’s analogy) to predict correctly the noise generated by turbulent flows around airfoils. The acoustic spectrum presents an overprediction up to 5 dB at the frequencies 300 Hz and 550 Hz and an underprediction about 5 dB at the frequencies 1100 Hz and 1750 Hz. The sound pressure level (SPL) obtained using the proposed approach of Curle’s analogy matches very well the experimental results. Thus, Curle’s analogy can be used to obtain a fast, approximated and acceptable results about the noise radiation of airfoils avoiding the storage of noise sources which requires a huge space and time.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141387603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For civil supersonic transport, low bypass ratio engines with internal mixing and external plugs are currently seen as promising exhaust architecture to meet aircraft mission and certification requirements. Measurements of the noise from a representative low-bypass ratio long duct mixed flow with external plug exhaust configuration were made, along with corresponding steady-RANS and LES analyses. The measured data showed excess high frequency noise across a wide range of operating conditions as compared to an equivalent single stream jet, or an equivalent uniform jet with internal plug. The absolute levels of the excess noise were relatively insensitive to forward flight, and the excess noise was most dominant when the primary and secondary streams had large velocity and temperature mismatch just upstream of the internal mixer. Preliminary indications from the LES analysis also indicated that significant pressure fluctuations, at the same frequencies which are insensitive to forward flight, develop inside the nozzle as the internal shear layer from the mixer grows and gets accelerated by the external plug. Parametric study test measurements on the fan and core operating conditions were performed, providing support for the hypothesis that the excess noise is generated as the internal shear layer, starting inside the nozzle, gets accelerated by the plug and passes through the weak shock at the nozzle exit where the flow accelerates more and turns over the external plug.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140996825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bogey","doi":"10.1177/1475472x241230647","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1475472x241230647","url":null,"abstract":"The differences between the acoustic tones generated by impinging jets with laminar and highly-disturbed nozzle-exit boundary layers are investigated. For that, jets at Mach numbers between 0.6 and 1.3 impinging on a flat plate at a distance of 8 nozzle radii from the nozzle exit are computed using large-eddy simulations. The amplitudes of the tones generated by the jets through feedback loops establishing between the nozzle and the plate are found to be significantly affected by the exit turbulent disturbances. In the present study, overall, they are lower for the initially laminar jets than for the initially disturbed ones. The level decrease varies from a few dB up to 15 dB, depending on the tones, which can change the frequencies of the dominant tones and the numbers and azimuthal structures of their associated feedback modes. For Mach numbers 0.75 and 0.8, for instance, the dominant tone frequencies are approximately two times lower for the initially laminar jets than for the other ones, yielding a better agreement with experiments of the literature in the former case. For a Mach number of 1.1, as a second example, the dominant tone is associated with the axisymmetric third feedback mode in the laminar case but with the helical fifth feedback mode in the disturbed case. The differences in the tone amplitude are finally discussed by estimating the power gains of the shear-layer instability waves between the nozzle and the plate using linear stability analysis for the axisymmetric mode. In most cases, at the frequency of a specific tone, the higher the gain, the stronger the acoustic tone.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140997115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most notable in the laboratory is the Anechoic Chamber of which the Aeroacoustics Wind Tunnel is an integral part. In recent years the dominant areas of research have included model aircraft exhaust jets and model rotors for helicopter applications involving detailed noise experiments. In the jet noise area, the applications have included aircraft in both flyover and take-off configurations. In the flyover application the air flow surrounding the exhaust jet has a significant effect on the radiated noise and must be simulated to produce experimental results that will be most useful in preliminary design of noise suppression applications. The Aeroacoustics Wind Tunnel at Penn State serves the purpose for this simulation. During aircraft take-off, the aircraft airspeed is in a range exceeding 250 ft per second, or Mach number of over M = 0.22. In the years preceding 2022, the velocity of the free jet flow of the Penn State facility was limited to less than 200 ft/sec. This paper reports on a project to design upgrades to the existing wind tunnel to improve the test section flow velocity to values closer to the 250 ft/sec target. The approach began with a preliminary design of the return flow ducting to convert the open jet, open return wind tunnel to a closed return tunnel. The concept is to make use of the flow energy in the exhaust of the tunnel to boost the input energy to the inlet fan that drives the flow to the test section. An integral part of the preliminary design involved making use of an upgraded flow analysis computer code to predict the gain in test section velocity of the new facility. For the available horsepower of two fans in the facility, the configurations of the existing and upgraded wind tunnel were entered into this analysis code based on a quasi-one-dimensional formulation. The code included empirical data formulated to include the various shapes of the components of the tunnels. The relative flow velocities in each section used simple incompressible continuity to calculate all velocities in the component sections. The average dynamic pressure in each section is calculated from the flow (constant) density and the velocity squared. Each section had a non-dimensional pressure loss parameter calculated from empirical data (from the relevant literature). The basic code (using the Excel algorithms) was based on a predictor-corrector concept in which the calculation was initialized with the estimated velocity and pressure of the flow at the entrance to the test section. The loss in each following section is estimated to determine the loss in the total pressure and the cumulated loss compared to the gains made at the two fans in the circuit. The initial guess is adjusted based on the total pressure value at the end of the circuit.

This occurs apparently due to duct acoustic modes randomly excited by the jet. Wire-mesh screens of various mesh size and configuration as well as tabs, placed at the end of the model duct, are shown to affect the noise. Comparative effects of these configurations are studied, and some are found to alleviate the low-frequency noise significantly.

Nark","doi":"10.1177/1475472x241230649","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1475472x241230649","url":null,"abstract":"It has been well-known that the Ingard-Myers impedance condition, while simple to apply, is subject to the hydrodynamic Kelvin-Helmholtz-type instability due to its use of a vortex sheet in modeling the flow at the liner boundary. Recently, in the development of a time domain boundary element method for acoustic scattering by treated surfaces, it was found that by neglecting a certain second-order spatial derivative term in the Ingard-Myers formulation, the hydrodynamic instability can be avoided. The present paper aims to provide further analysis of this modified condition, hereby referred to as the Truncated Ingard-Myers Impedance Boundary Condition (TIMIBC). It will be shown, based on the dispersion relations of linear waves, that the instability intrinsic to the Ingard-Myers condition is eliminated in the proposed new formulation. Quantitative assessments on the accuracy of the TIMIBC for scattering of acoustic waves by lined surfaces are carried out, and its effectiveness is demonstrated by a numerical example. It is found that the TIMIBC provides a good approximation to the original Ingard-Myers condition for flows of low to mid subsonic Mach numbers. As such, the proposed TIMIBC can offer a practical solution for overcoming the intrinsic instability associated with the Ingard-Myers condition. Moreover, time domain implementation of the TIMIBC is also discussed and illustrated with a numerical example using a finite difference scheme. In particular, a minimization procedure for finding the poles and coefficients of a broadband multipole expansion for the impedance function is formulated by which, unlike the commonly used vector-fitting method, passivity of the model is ensured.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140995595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
