ANALYTICAL MODEL OF ENGINE FAN NOISE

Active control of fan noise on a UHB engine

The model developed in this work was used to investigate the potential that active noise control techniques have for reducing fan noise on an ultra high bypass (UHB) turbofan engine. Active noise control is expected to perform differently on a UHB turbofan engine than on a conventional turbofan engine since the short and wide inlet duct inherent to the UHB engine promotes radiation from evanesc...

Low Frequency Noise Contamination in Fan Model Testing

Aircraft engine noise research and development depends on the ability to study and predict the noise created by each engine component in isolation. The presence of a downstream pylon for a model fan test, however, may result in noise contamination through pylon interactions with the free stream and model exhaust airflows. Additionally, there is the problem of separating the fan and jet noise co...

Uncertainty quantification of low - speed fan noise

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) has been achieved for the first time on the self-noise prediction of a low-subsonic axial fan. Realistic 5% and 4% errors are introduced on the volume flow-rate and the rotational speed, respectively, and a set of 81 ReynoldsAveraged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations of the fan mounted on an axisymmetric test plenum has been simulated at Clenshaw-Curtis points. By...

Experimental study of combustion noise level in LTC engine

In recent years, promising methods have been used to increase thermal efficiency, reduce nitrogen oxide and particle matter, which can be described as an example of an ethanol fuelled HCCI engine. But despite the many benefits of these engines, they continue to face problems such as increasing carbon monoxide production, unburned hydrocarbon, and producing combustion noise at high loads. In thi...
