Generation of interior cavity noise due to window vibration excited by turbulent flows past a generic side-view mirror

Evaluation of Aerodynamic Noise Generation by a Generic Side Mirror

The aerodynamic noise radiation from a side view mirror (SVM) in the high-speed airflow is calculated by the combination of unsteady incompressible fluid flow analysis and acoustic analysis. The transient flow past the generic SVM is simulated with variable turbulence model, namely DES Detached Eddy Simulation and LES (Large Eddy Simulation). Detailed velocity vectors and contour plots of the t...

Turbulent momentum transport due to neoclassical flows

Intrinsic toroidal rotation in a tokamak can be driven by turbulent momentum transport due to neoclassical flow effects breaking a symmetry of turbulence. In this paper we categorize the contributions due to neoclassical effects to the turbulent momentum transport, and evaluate each contribution using gyrokinetic simulations. We find that the relative importance of each contribution changes wit...

Imaging of the Self-Excited Oscillation of Past a Cavity During Generation of a Flow

Noise generation by turbulent flow in ducts

The aim of this work is to estimate the sound power generated by a turbulent flow in a duct from the knowledge of mean quantities which can be computed with a K-e turbulence model when only the plane wave can propagate, i.e., when the characteristic frequency of the turbulence is low. It does turn out to be possible for the simplest configuration of a duct free of internal obstruction. The resu...

Modelling of sound generation by turbulent reacting flows

The two components of combustion noise, namely the direct noise induced by heat release fluctuations in the flow and the indirect noise caused by acceleration of entropy perturbations through mean flow gradients resulting in acoustic radiation, are examined by considering different types of inhomogeneous wave equations deduced from the balance equations of fluid dynamics. This is accomplished b...
