Hybrid methods for airframe noise numerical prediction

This paper describes some significant steps made towards the numerical simulation of the noise radiated by the high-lift devices of a plane. Since the full numerical simulation of such configuration is still out of reach for present supercomputers, some hybrid strategies have been developed to reduce the overall cost of such simulations. The proposed strategy relies on the coupling of an unsteady nearfield CFD with an acoustic propagation solver based on the resolution of the Euler equations for midfield propagation in an inhomogeneous field, and the use of an integral solver for farfield acoustic predictions.In the first part of this paper, this CFD/CAA coupling strategy is presented. In particular, the numerical method used in the propagation solver is detailed, and two applications of this coupling method to the numerical prediction of the aerodynamic noise of an airfoil are presented.Then, a hybrid RANS/LES method is proposed in order to perform some unsteady simulations of complex noise sources. This method allows for significant reduction of the cost of such a simulation by considerably reducing the extent of the LES zone. This method is described and some results of the numerical simulation of the three-dimensional unsteady flow in the slat cove of a high-lift profile are presented. While these results remain very difficult to validate with experiments on similar configurations, they represent up to now the first 3D computations of this kind of flow.     

On the Capability of PIV-Based Wall Pressure Estimation for an Impinging Jet Flow

A PIV-based pressure estimation methodology is used to compute the wall pressure from the velocity field of a turbulent impinging jet flow. A simplified formulation (2D-2C) is applied to velocity fields issued from PIV data. The ability of the method to qualitatively estimate the wall pressure signature of a 3D unsteady impinging jet flow using only two velocity components in a plane is demonstrated. Nevertheless, the 2D flow assumption used in the context of planar measurements involves an underestimation of the wall pressure values all along the radial direction. The formulation based on the full integral formalism (3D-3C), computed from DNS data without any assumption on the flow, provides a reference solution. The contributions of the surface and volume integrals to the pressure coefficient are assessed. It is shown that the most important contribution to the wall pressure comes from the volume integral. Then the underestimation observed for the simplified formulation is mostly linked with the assumptions considered for the source term computation. The effect of each assumption is quantitatively analysed with the help of the DNS data and some ways to improve the simplified methodology are finally proposed.

Low Reynolds number hydrodynamic interaction of a solid particle with a planar wall

The slow viscous flow problem of an arbitrary solid particle in motion near a planar wall is recast into a boundary integral formulation. The present formulation employs the Green function appropriate to the planar wall problem and is developed in sufficient generality to allow calculations for arbitrary particles in any base flow which satisfies Stokes equations and no-slip on the wall. The resulting integral equations are easily discretized and solved for the particle surface tractions. Calculations are performed for axisymmetric motions of a variety of ellips?ids near the planar wall. Agreement with existing theory is excellent.

Scattered noise prediction using acoustic velocity formulations V1A and KV1A

Aeroacoustic scattering prediction generally relies on boundary integral methods which require evaluation of the impermeability condition on the scattering surface. The boundary condition implies zero normal velocity relative to the scattering surface. This condition has been expressed by relating the acoustic velocity to the acoustic pressure gradient, allowing indirect evaluation of the boundary condition by existent acoustic pressure gradient formulations. In the present paper, a direct evaluation of the hardwall boundary condition in scattering problems is demonstrated by time-domain analytic acoustic velocity formulae. Acoustic velocity formulations V1A and KV1A are implemented for acoustic scattering prediction, by hybrid approaches based on the FW–H equation and the Kirchhoff method These formulations can be coupled to any scattering solver, allowing time-domain prediction of the incident acoustic field when broadband noise generation is concerned. Formulation V1A offers mathematical simplicity and computational efficiency, which can be advantageous for realistic scattering applications. Implementation of formula KV1A enables acoustic scattering prediction by existing solvers based on the Kirchhoff method. The validity of the suggested methodology is assessed through the analytical test case of harmonic sound scattered by a rigid sphere. Sound propagation and scattering effects are analyzed by examination of the acoustic velocity field characteristics.     

Acoustic radiation induced by bubble motion in compressible fluid

Based on the theory of compressible fluid, a three-dimension boundary element method is utilized to research the motion of bubble. The far-field noise radiation during the growth and contraction is calculated by the Kirchhoff formula and the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings （FW-H） formula with a fixed radiation surface being arranged at the near-field of bubble as a new acoustic source. The results show that the amplitude of the sound pressure induced by non-spherical bubble is lower than that of spherical bubble in the contraction phase. The retardance effect is more obvious when the observer is farther away from the bubble. In the anaphase of contraction, the observer with the maximum amplitude of sound pressure moves up with the obvious jet. Larger buoyance parameters will generate lower sound pressure amplitudes in the anaphase, while larger intensive parameters will cause higher sound pressure amplitudes in the whole procedure of bubble motion.     

Finite element-boundary integral formulation for electromagnetic scattering

A new formulation is described which combines the most robust attributes of the volume finite element and surface integral equation approaches to electromagnetic boundary value solutions. The result is a numerical technique which may be applied to scattering problems involving configurations having metallic surfaces and inhomogeneous penetrable material situated in open spatial regions. This is accomplished by way of coupling internal region finite element modal field solutions to equivalent currents on the surrounding boundary surface through an appropriate surface integral equation. The method is demonstrated for the special case of scattering by axisymmetric inhomogeneous penetrable objects. Example numerical calculations are presented for validation of the procedure and potential problem areas are discussed.

高速空腔流动的流场结构非常复杂,在一定条件下存在严重的压力、速度等脉动,诱发强烈的噪声,声压级可达到170dB,对腔内的导弹及其自身结构安全构成很大的威胁。应用基于两方程剪切应力(SST)的尺度自适应(SAS)分离流模型的CFD技术和气动声学频域理论(FW-H积分方程),模拟了射流对二维M219空腔(长深比L/D=5)内气动噪声变化情况,研究了空腔流动特性、流场结构及发声机理。在此基础上,首先对比分析了不同射流位置对空腔噪声的抑制情况,以此确定一个工程上可实现的射流位置;然后,对比分析了不同射流状态(不同的射流流量、温度)对空腔噪声的抑制情况。由此可知,跨音速(Ma=0.85)条件下,采用不同的射流状态对空腔噪声具有不同的抑制效果,其中随着射流量及射流温度的增大,噪声抑制效果更加明显。

A Three-Dimensional Hybrid LES-Acoustic Analogy Method for Predicting Open-Cavity Noise

A three-dimensional (3D) hybrid LES-acoustic analogy method for computational aeroacoustics (CAA) is presented for the prediction of open-cavity noise. The method uses large-eddy simulation (LES) to compute the acoustic source while the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) acoustic analogy is employed for the prediction of the far-field sound. As a comparison, a two-dimensional (2D) FW-H analogy is also included. The hybrid method has been assessed in an open-cavity flow at a Mach number of 0.85 and a Reynolds number of Re=1.36×10⁶, where some experimental data are available for comparison. The study has identified some important technical issues in the application of the FW-H acoustic analogy to cavity noise prediction and CAA in general, including the proper selection of the integration period and the modes of sound sources in the frequency domain. The different nature of 2D and 3D wave propagation is also highlighted, which calls for a matching acoustic solver for each problem. The developed hybrid method has shown promise to be a feasible, accurate and computationally affordable approach for CAA.

On aerodynamic noises radiated by the pantograph system of high-speed trains

Pantograph system of high-speed trains become significant source of aerodynamic noise when travelling speed exceeds 300 km/h. In this paper, a hybrid method of non-linear acoustic solver （NLAS） and Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings （FW-H） acoustic analogy is used to predict the aerodynamic noise of pantograph system in this speed range. When the simulation method is validated by a benchmark problem of flows around a cylinder of finite span, we calculate the near flow field and far acoustic field surrounding the pantograph system. And then, the frequency spectra and acoustic attenuation with distance are analyzed, showing that the pantograph system noise is a typical broadband one with most acoustic power restricted in the medium-high frequency range from 200 Hz to 5 kHz. The aerodynamic noise of pantograph systems radiates outwards in the form of spherical waves in the far field. Analysis of the overall sound pressure level （OASPL） at different speeds exhibits that the acoustic power grows approximately as the 4th power of train speed. The comparison of noise reduction effects for four types of pantograph covers demonstrates that only case 1 can lessen the total noise by about 3 dB as baffles on both sides can shield sound wave in the spanwise direction. The covers produce additional aerodynamic noise themselves in the other three cases and lead to the rise of OASPLs.     

Large eddy simulations in low-pressure turbines: Effect of wakes at elevated free-stream turbulence

The transition of a separated shear layer over a flat plate, in the presence of periodic wakes and elevated free-stream turbulence (FST), is numerically investigated using Large Eddy Simulation (LES). The upper wall of the test section is inviscid and specifically contoured to impose a streamwise pressure distribution over the flat plate to simulate the suction surface of a low-pressure turbine (LPT) blade. Two different distributions representative of a ‘high-lift’ and an ‘ultra high-lift’ turbine blade are examined. Results obtained from the current LES compare favourably with the extensive experimental data previously obtained for these configurations. The LES results are then used to further investigate the flow physics involved in the transition process.In line with experimental experience, the benefit of wakes and FST obtained by suppressing the separation bubble, is more pronounced in ‘ultra high-lift’ design when compared to the ‘high-lift’ design. Stronger ‘Klebanoff streaks’ are formed in the presence of wakes when compared to the streaks due to FST alone. These streaks promoted much early transition. The weak Klebanoff streaks due to FST continued to trigger transition in between the wake passing cycles.The experimental inference regarding the origin of Klebanoff streaks at the leading edge has been confirmed by the current simulations. While the wake convects at local free-stream velocity, its impression in the boundary layer in the form of streaks convects much slowly. The ‘part-span’ Kelvin–Helmholtz structures, which were observed in the experiments when the wake passes over the separation bubble, are also captured. The non-phase averaged space-time plots manifest that reattachment is a localized process across the span unlike the impression of global reattachment portrayed by phase averaging.
