Application of FW-H acoustic analogy without turbulent noise is the most popular method due to its calculation cost. In this paper, turbulent-induced noise is predicted using RANS turbulence model and permeable FW-H method. For simplicity, noise from 2D cylinder is examined using three different methods: direct method of RANS, FW-H method without turbulent noise and permeable FW-H method which can take into account of turbulent-induced noise. Turbulent noise was well predicted using permeable FW-H method with same computational cost of original FW-H method. Also, ability of permeable FW-H method to predict highly accurate turbulent-induced noise by applying adequate permeable surface is presented. The procedure to predict turbulent- induced noise using permeable FW-H is established and its usability is shown.展开更多

The vortical structures around the rod-airfoil are computed by the LES and captured by the vortex identification （Q）. The acoustic predictions are verified by the measurements. It is shown that the computed results by the two hybrid approa- ches （LES and FW-H, LES and Powell） are very similar. Both are shown to be satisfactory in the prediction of the noise generated by an unsteady flow. Subsequently, the numerical simulations of the wall pressure fluctuations and the flow-induced noise of a NACA0015 airfoil are made by the two hybrid approaches. At two angles of attack （ 0~ and 8~ ）, the wall pressure fluctuations of the NACA0015 airfoil are computed. The obtained power spectra of the wall pressure fluctuations are analyzed and compared with the measured data. And the vortical structures around the airfoil at two angles of attack are simulated and analyzed. After that, the flow induced noises of the NACA0015 airfoil at two angles of attack are predicted by the two hybrid approaches （LES and FW-H, LES and Powell）. The radiated sound spectra are analyzed and compared with the experimental data. Comparisons show that both are robust, credible and satisfactory in the numerical prediction of the flow induced noise. All numerical simulations are carried out by parallel processing in the Wuxi supercomputing center.展开更多

This study analyzed the near-field unsteady flow around a pantograph using a large-eddy simulation(LES) with high-order finite difference schemes. The far-field aerodynamic noise from a pantograph was predicted using a computational fluid dynamics(CFD)/Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings(FW-H) acoustic analogy. The surface oscillating pressure data were also used in a boundary element method(BEM) acoustic analysis to predict the aerodynamic noise sources of a pantograph and the far-field sound radiation. The results indicated that the main aerodynamic noise sources of the pantograph were the panhead, base frame and knuckle. The panhead had the largest contribution to the far-field aerodynamic noise of the pantograph. The vortex shedding from the panhead generated tonal noise with the dominant peak corresponding to the vortex shedding frequency and the oscillating lift force exerted back on the fluid around the panhead.Additionally, the peak at the second harmonic frequency was associated with the oscillating drag force. The contribution of the knuckle-downstream direction to the pantograph aerodynamic noise was less than that of the knuckle-upstream direction of the pantograph, and the average sound pressure level(SPL) was 3.4 dBA. The directivity of the noise radiated exhibited a typical dipole pattern in which the noise directivity was obvious at the horizontal plane of θ=0°,the longitudinal plane of θ=120°,and the vertical plane of θ=90°.展开更多
