The aircraft noise problem is firstly reviewed in this article. The review is followed by a description and assessment of a number of sound propagation methods suitable for applications with a background mean flow field pertinent to aircraft noise. Of the three main areas of the noise problem, i.e. generation, propagation, and ra- diation, propagation provides a vital link between near-field noise generation and far-field radiation. Its accurate assessment ensures the overall validity of a prediction model. Of the various classes of propagation equations, linearised Euler equations are often casted in either time domain or frequency domain. The equations are often solved numerically by computational aeroacoustics techniques, bur are subject to the onset of Kelvin-Helmholtz （K-H） instability modes which may ruin the solutions. Other forms of linearised equations, e.g. acoustic perturbation equations have been proposed, with differing degrees of success.展开更多

The emitting acoustic power and received mean square acoustic pressure are functions of time. The paper deals with this problem as a quasi-steady one. The whole process is resolved into several elementary procedures, for example, the flight trajectory, the geometric relation between the noise sources and observers, the noise source characteristics, the air propagation and ground effect. Two calculation examples are given in the paper, one for a long-range passenger with high bypass-ratio turbofan engine, and the other for a 3-leaved propeller. The composition of aircraft noise, its time history, frequency spectrum and directivity can be clearly described by these curves. It may be useful for the designer to perform the acoustic design of his aircraft layout.展开更多

The focus was on the flap side edge noise source in this paper. The spectra, directivity and sound pressure level of flap side edge noise of 10 aircraft were presented in this paper. It is found that the spectrum of flap side edge noise is a broadband noise with some tones in some cases. Two different types of tone sources are found. It is proposed that one type of these tone sources is trailing edge semi baffled dipole source, and another is produced from the shedding of vortex from the wing cusp. The total sound pressure level of flap side edge broadband noise has no obvious directionality. However, the directivity of the tone noise in the flap side edge noise spectrum is obvious. It is demonstrated that the local flow field is the key to controlling the flap side edge noise.展开更多
