A frequency domain method is presented to predict rotor-strut interaction tonal noise. The method directly relates each harmonic of tonal noise to the unsteady loading harmonics on the rotor/strut surfaces using the frequency-domain Green’s function. The formulation shows that each harmonic of rotor tonal noise is composed of contributions from all harmonics of rotor loading, whereas each harmonic of strut tonal noise is produced exclusively by the corresponding harmonic of strut loading. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are used to predict the unsteady loading on a practical multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) rotor-strut system. This loading is used as input to the frequency-domain method and the results are compared with experimental measurements, showing reasonable agreement to within 3 dB at most observer positions. It is observed that the rotor-strut interaction generates an acoustic pressure impulse, which is weakened as the rotor-strut spacing increases. Additionally, the noise radiated from the loading sources on the struts is found to vary significantly with azimuthal angle. Using unsteady CFD simulations to predict the unsteady loading is time-consuming and ill-suited for design process applications. Therefore, an analytical model is developed to quickly estimate this unsteady loading. The analytical model is applied to a practical rotor-strut system, and the resulting noise radiation is calculated using the frequency-domain method. The predictions are found to be in reasonable agreement (overall sound pressure level within 3 dB) with the numerical simulations and experimental measurements.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
