Noise model for serrated trailing edges compared to wind tunnel measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new CFD RANS based method to predict the far field sound pressure emitted from an aerofoil with serrated trailing edge has been developed. The model was validated by comparison to measurements conducted in the Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel. The model predicted 3 dB lower sound pressure levels, but the tendencies for the different configurations were predicted correctly. Therefore the model can be used to optimise the serration geometry. A disadvantage of the new model is that the computational costs are significantly higher than for the Amiet model for a straight trailing edge. However, it is by decades faster than LES methods.

Owl-inspired leading-edge serrations play a crucial role in aerodynamic force production and sound suppression.
Owls are widely known for silent flight, achieving remarkably low noise gliding and flapping flights owing to their unique wing morphologies, which are normally characterized by leading-edge serrations, trailing-edge fringes and velvet-like surfaces. How these morphological features affect aerodynamic force production and sound suppression or noise reduction, however, is still not well known. H...
متن کاملAn experimental study of airfoil instability tonal noise with trailing edge serrations
This paper presents an experimental study of the effect of trailing edge serrations on airfoil instability noise. Detailed aeroacoustic measurements are presented of the noise radiated by an NACA-0012 airfoil with trailing edge serrations in a low to moderate speed flow under acoustical free field conditions. The existence of a separated boundary layer near the trailing edge of the airfoil at a...
متن کاملThe Effect of Pylon Trailing Edge Blowing on the Performance and Noise Production of a Propeller
This paper discusses a study of the effects of pylon trailing edge blowing on pusher propeller performance and noise emissions. Experimental investigations were performed in a low speed open jet wind tunnel, using a powered propeller model and a generic pylon model. A novel pylon blowing system was integrated in the aft part of the pylon to provide a uniform outflow. The numerical analysis was ...
متن کاملEmpirical study of flat plate trailing edge flow and noise
This paper presents results of an empirical study on the flow and noise generated by the trailing edge of a flat plate encountering low turbulence fluid flow. Simultaneous measurements of flow and far-field noise data have been taken in an anechoic wind tunnel at the University of Adelaide. Velocity data about the trailing edge and in the wake have been measured using hot-wire anemometry. These...
متن کاملOn-road and wind-tunnel measurement of motorcycle helmet noise.
The noise source mechanisms involved in motorcycling include various aerodynamic sources and engine noise. The problem of noise source identification requires extensive data acquisition of a type and level that have not previously been applied. Data acquisition on track and on road are problematic due to rider safety constraints and the portability of appropriate instrumentation. One way to add...
