Recently, the operating speed of pressure devices is increased for high performance. It lead to the increase of flow rate. Consequently, the results in the high relative contribution of flow borne noise to the noise from pipe. Analyzing the characteristics of flow-borne noise is essential for evaluating noise performance during the design stage of the piping system. Therefore, in this paper, the noise generation mechanism and transfer characteristic was numerically investigated. The wall pressure induced by the fluid moving through the orifice was predicted using the compressible Large Eddy Simulation (LES). The Wavenumber-Frequency Analysis (WFA) was employed to decompose the wall pressure into incompressible and compressible component, which are to cause Fluid Induced Vibration (FIV) and Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV). The propagation and contribution characteristics were analyzed using the separated incompressible and compressible wall pressure components. Additionally, the correlation between these pressure components and the internal flow within the piping was investigated through flow field analysis, which elucidated the mechanisms and propagation characteristics of flow-induced noise. From these results, it was confirmed that the contribution of the incompressible wall pressure component was high near the noise source and that the contribution of the compressible wall pressure component increased as it propagated long distances upstream and downstream direction of the noise source.

A sudden pressure drop caused by the pressure relief valve acts as a strong noise source and propagates the compressible pressure fluctuation along the pipe wall, which becomes a excitation source of Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV). Therefore, in this study, the numerical methodology is developed to evaluate the reduction effect of compressible pressure fluctuation due to curved pipe in the pressure relief valve system. To describe the acoustic wave caused by density fluctuation, unsteady compressible Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique, which is high accuracy numerical method, Smagorinsky-Lilly subgrid scale model is applied. Wavenumber-frequency analysis is performed to extract the compressible pressure fluctuation component, which is propagated along the pipe, from the flow field, and it is based on the wall pressure on the upstream and downstream pipe from the curved pipe. It is shown that the plane wave and the 1st mode component in radial direction are dominant along the downstream direction, and the overall acoustic power was reduced by 3 dB through the curved pipe. From these results, the noise reduction effect caused by curved pipe is confirmed.
