The fundamental characteristics of jet noise have been studied for 70 years, since the pioneering work of Lighthill in the 1950s. The acoustic analogy, with many variants, has served as the leading theory for nearly 50 years. Many leading researchers in the 1970s formulated theories to interpret the measured trends from subsonic and supersonic jets, using acoustic analogy and flow features as the framework. Quadrupoles, dipoles and monopoles were believed to constitute the sources of noise. The discovery of large-scale organized structures in free shear layers and jets sparked a different avenue of thinking about their importance for noise generation. Tam was the first to clearly demonstrate that these structures are efficient generators of noise and constitute the dominant noise sources, especially in the downstream direction. Now, two schools of thought emerged on the sources of jet noise. Experimental measurements showed that the mean flow as well as the turbulence statistics exhibit a self-similarity in the mixing layer and another similarity in the fully developed jet. Based on these observations, Tam proposed that since noise is generated by the turbulence of the jet, the noise spectra generated by fine-scale and large-scale turbulence should also exhibit self-similarity. By examining a large set of supersonic jet noise data acquired at NASA Langley, Tam offered evidence that the turbulent mixing noise of high-speed jets does consist of two independent self-similar components. In this paper, experimental evidence is compiled from an extensive database that quantifies the effect of several parameters that affect jet spectra. A new scaling method is developed and extended to noise predictions for realistic dual-stream nozzle geometries. The objectives of this paper are to serve as a synthesis of noise characteristics and to focus on application to real-world problems. Results from five different experimental measurements are examined: (1) farfield spectral characteristics; (2) azimuthal and polar correlations in the farfield; (3) correlations of jet turbulence fluctuations and farfield sound; (4) measurement of source distributions with an elliptic mirror; and (5) space-time correlation measurements in the nearfield with a cage array, and nearfield-farfield correlations. Two distinctly different trends are observed in the angular ranges of 50° – ∼120° and ∼120° – 165° for all the parameters investigated with the above five approaches. The salient observations are mutually supporting, and the cumulative weight lends credence to the proposition that there are two distinct sources of turbulent mixing noise.","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":"140997947","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}

A pressure-based coupled solver formulation with the second order weighted central-upwind spatial discretization is applied to compute transient solutions. Cold and hot jet thermal conditions are considered. Mean flow characteristics are investigated by a steady-state modeling approach. Acoustic radiation of impingement tones is simulated using a transient time-domain formulation. The effects of turbulence in steady-state are modeled by the SST k-ω turbulence model. The Wall-Modeled Large-Eddy Simulation (WMLES) model is applied to compute transient solutions. The near-wall mesh on the impingement plate is fine enough to resolve the viscosity-affected near-wall region all the way to the laminar sublayer. Nozzle-to-plate distance is parameterized in the model for automatic re-generation of the mesh and results. Steady-state predictions of hover lift loss and mean jet velocity distributions are compared with experimental data, and favorable agreement is reported. The transient solution reproduces the mechanism of impingement tone generation by the interaction of large scale vortical structures with the impingement plate. The acoustic near-field is directly resolved by Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) to accurately propagate impingement tone waves to near-field microphone locations. Calculated impingement tone frequencies and sound pressure levels agree with experimental values.","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":"140996125","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}

When vibration with high amplitude occurs in the rotor blade, high-intensity sound occurs within the compressor. The amplitude of noise inside the compressor varies with the amplitude of blade vibration, and the variation laws are consistent. Therefore, an annular disk cavity model, the simplified cavity between the rotator and stator of a high-pressure compressor, is built to study the high-intensity sound in the compressor by numerical simulation. The motion processes of the vortex structure inside the cavity are captured. The acoustic mode of the annular disk cavity model is excited at Ma 0.2, at the same time the sound pressure in the cavity is characterized with obvious a form of circumferential second order. The internal sound pressure gradually increases along the radial direction. Meanwhile, an annular disk cavity structure is established for experimental study. The characteristics of the acoustic mode of the annular disk cavity structure obtained in the simulation and experiment are consistent.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140430221","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}

Recent advancement in machine learning has been applied to jet noise prediction. However, these applications are pure curve fitting and lack physical constraints. In this study, a physics-merged deep neural network (PMNN)-based prediction method was developed for turbulent mixing jet noise by merging the physics of the jet noise. This deep neural network (DNN)-based method employed recent advancements in jet turbulent mixing noise containing large- and fine-scale turbulence structures. Two simple rational functions for large- and fine-scale turbulent noise similarity spectra were proposed to replace the original complex similarity spectra functions and incorporated into the DNN-based prediction method. For comparison, we present two data-driven DNN-based prediction methods (DDNN). The first DDNN method used the sound pressure level (SPL) as the output of neural networks, directly establishing the nonlinear relationship between the input features and SPL. In the second DDNN method, the dominant modes of the jet noise spectra extracted using the proper orthogonal decomposition method were merged with DNN. These DNN-based methods were then trained using a set of experimental data over a wide range of jet operating conditions. Their performance was evaluated and compared. It was evident that all these DNN-based methods were capable of predicting turbulent mixing noise reasonably well. In contrast to the DDNN methods, the PMNN method could provide insights into the jet turbulent mixing noise components. It demonstrates that the turbulent mixing jet noise spectra at the mid polar angle is generated by the large-scale noise component at low-frequency range and by the fine-scale noise component at high-frequency range.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139598775","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}

Narayanan","doi":"10.1177/1475472x241226931","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1475472x241226931","url":null,"abstract":"The present paper examines the use of modified dual-wavelength sawtooth serrations introduced at the trailing edge (TE) of a National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 65 (12)-10 airfoil as a passive means for the control of airfoil broadband noise. The studies are conducted for different parameters such as serration wavelengths (λ), serration amplitudes (h) as well as (hꞌ) modified amplitude to determine the best serration parameter which provides higher noise reductions. The reduction of noise level brought by the modified dual-wavelength sawtooth serrations at the TE is about 4 dB, while it is about 3.3 dB for the simple ones. It reveals that the modified sawtooth can provide a substantial reduction of self-noise alongside the interaction noise over an extensive range of frequencies which indicates the existence of strong far-field destructive interference (i.e., feedback) from low to mid-frequency ranges (i.e., 1.5 - 5 kHz). The TE serrated airfoils show lower acoustic emissions as compared to baseline although they exhibit a common behavior for all emission angles. The large noise decrease provided by the dual-wavelength sawtooth may be because of the significant reductions in the scattering intensity of sound as well as strong far-field destructive interference owing to the presence of two roots between the two successive maximum amplitude peaks.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139524356","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 predicted trends in the balance between tonal and broadband noise radiation with varying blade number and speed of rotation is supported by preliminary experimental measurements. Here, we assume that the dominant noise generation mechanisms are the tones due to steady loading and blade thickness, while the broadband noise is due to boundary layer scattering at the trailing edge. The study also provides a detailed comparison between the tonal and broadband formulations to highlight their similarities and differences. In this paper, we show that the main differences in the behaviour and character of the tonal and broadband spectra and directivities are due to the number of acoustic modes that can be excited. This paper presents a parametric study in which the variation in tonal and broadband noise is investigated as a function of blade tip Mach number ( M t) and blade number ( B) whilst maintaining constant solidity and thrust. This study is repeated for three NACA airfoil profiles. It is found that tonal noise dominates at low blade number and low frequency and/or higher tip speeds, while broadband noise is the major contributor at high-frequencies and at high blade number and low tip speeds. The results show a clear distinction between the combinations of M t and B that are dominated by tonal and by broadband noise. These results are interpreted from fundamental principles relating to modal radiation efficiencies. We confirm this trend of balance between tonal and broadband noise with measured noise at different B and M t. The results of this paper will serve as useful guidelines for preliminary propeller design.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139383387","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}

Although the in situ technique started as the primary experimental procedure, impedance eduction techniques have gained popularity over the past years. However, there is a lack of comparison between these group of methods, especially at conditions typically found in turbofan engines. In this work, in situ and impedance eduction techniques are compared at high flow velocities and SPL using typical acoustic liner test samples and considering uniform flow. Both upstream and downstream acoustic wave propagation will also be considered in view of the discrepancies recently observed by eduction methods. A new method to compensate the instrumentation effect in the in situ technique is proposed and validated. Results are obtained for bulk Mach numbers up to 0.5 and SPLs up to 145 dB for both in situ and two eduction techniques. The three methods presents good agreement in the absence of flow. Unexpected results are observed with higher flow Mach numbers using the eduction technique.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139381350","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}

With rising UAM air traffic at low altitudes, noise from these aircraft is a crucial design factor. Most tiltrotor noise research focuses on high disk loading and Reynolds number setups, leaving smaller aircraft configurations less explored. This study investigates aero-acoustic trends from rotor-wing interaction at low disk loading ([Formula: see text]100 N/m2) and Reynolds number (Re < 100,000). While prior literature suggests lowering disk loading and reducing rotor wake interference can mitigate rotor noise, such ideas lack empirical validation. The setup involves an anechoic chamber housing a two-blade rotor, along with flat and NACA 0012 airfoil wings. Microphones and a rotation stage capture acoustic data for analysis. Factors like flow recirculation, isolated rotor noise, rotor height, rotation direction/rate, and wing curvature are assessed for impact on noise signature. It is found that the deflected rotor wake in rotor-wing interaction significantly increases low-frequency broadband noise and overall sound pressure level (OASPL), compared to an isolated rotor. Dominant tonal noise diminishes based on the strength of the deflected rotor wake. These findings offer insights into reducing noise from rotor wake impingement on the wing.","PeriodicalId":49304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aeroacoustics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139140941","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}
