An aero-acoustic performance analysis method of regenerative blower is developed as one of the FANDAS codes. The aerodynamic performance of regenerative blower is predicted by using momentum exchange theory coupled with pressure loss and leakage flow models. Based on the performance prediction results, the noise level and spectrum of regenerative blower are predicted by discrete frequency and broadband noise models. The combination of the performance and the noise prediction methods gives aero-acoustic performance map and noise spectrum analysis results, which are well-agreed with the actual measurement results within a few percent relative error.

Proposed is an aero-acoustic performance prediction method of axial fan. The fan aerodynamic performance is predicted by combining pitch-averaged quasi 3-D flow analysis with pressure loss models for blade boundary layer and wake, secondary flow, endwall boundary layer and tip leakage flows. Fan noise is assumed to be radiated as dipole distribution type, and its generation is assumed to be mainly due to the vortex street shed from blade trailing edge. The fluctuating pressure and lift on the blade surface are analyzed by incorporating the wake vortex stree shed from blade trailing edge. The fluctuating pressure and lift on the blade surface are analyzed by incorporating the wake vortex street model with thin airfoil theory. The aero-acoustic performance prediction results by the present method are in good agreement with the measured results of several axial fans. With the present prediction method, parametric studies are carried out to investigate the effects of blade chord length and spacing on the efficiency and the noise level of fan. In the case of lightly loaded fan, both efficiency improvement and noise reduction can be achieved by decreasing chord length or by increasing blade specing. However, when fan is designed at highly loaded condition, the noise reduction by increasing blade spacing penalizes the attaninable efficiency of fan.

본 연구에서는 대상 원심팬 시스템에서 발생하는 유동 현상과 공력 음향 성능을 수치적/실험적으로 분석하고 다양한 수치 기법을 비교하여 평가하고자 하였다. 먼저 원심팬의 성능을 실험적으로 분석하기 위해 반무향실에서 음향 파워를 측정하였으며, 실험 결과를 통해 대상 원심팬 시스템에서 방사되는 소음 성능에 대한 유효 주파수 범위를 파악하고 이에 대한 수치 모사를 실시하였다. 수치적으로 유동 및 음향 파워를 분석하기 위해 Navier-Stokes 방정식과 Ffowcs Williams&Hawkings 방정식을 각각 유동장과 음향장의 지배방정식으로 사용하였으며, 음향장의 구현을 위해 가상의 음향 방사면을 설계하여 사용하였다. 고차 3차원 전산유체역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD)와 연계된 Hybrid-CAA 기법을 사용하여 모사한 음향 파워 레벨과 소음 실험을 통해 측정한 음향 파워 레벨의 비교를 통해 사용된 수치 기법의 정확도 및 수치적 특성을 평가하였다.

The purpose of this work is to predict the low frequency aero-acoustic noise generated from the horizontal axis wind turbine, NREL Phase VI using large eddy simulation and Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings model provided in the commercial code, FLUENT. Calculated aerodynamic performances such as shaft torque and power are compared with experimentally measured value. Performance results show a good agreement with experimental data within about 0.8%. If the distance by two times is changed from 32D to 64D toward the downstream region, sound pressure level is reduced by about 6.4dB.

Some open jet wind tunnels have been operating under limitations due to large pressure fluctuations at some wind tunnel speeds. The Hyundai Aero-acoustic full scale Wind Tunnel (HAWT), which was completed in 1999, shows that most of the specifications were fulfilled but wind tunnel pulsations at some wind speeds were observed. Hyundai Motor Company started the wind tunnel modification in order to solve this problem in 2001. After the modification work the amplitude of pressure fluctuation was reduced and below required level over full wind speed range. Aero-acoustic performance, e.g. background noise, as well as aerodynamic performance were improved after this work.

Developed is a computer program for the prediction of the aero-acoustic performance characteristics such as discharge pressure, efficiency, power and noise level in the basic design step of axial flow fan. The flow field and the aerodynamic performance of fan are analyzed by using the streamline curvature computing scheme with total pressure loss and flow deviation models. Fan noise is assumed to be generated due to the pressure fluctuations induced by wake vortices of fan blades and to radiate via dipole distribution. The vortex-induced fluctuating pressure on blade surface is calculated by combining thin airfoil theory and the predicted flow field data. The predicted aerodynamic performances, sound pressure level and noise directivity patterns of fan by the present computer program are favorably compared with the test data of actual fan. Furthermore, the present computer program is shown to be very useful in optimizing design variables of fan with high efficiency and low noise level and in analyzing their design sensitivities.

본 연구의 목적은 수평축 풍력터빈인 NREL Phase VI를 대상으로 ANSYS FLUENT에서 제공하는 LES와 FW-H 상사식을 이용하여 풍력발전기로부터 방사되는 저주파 공력소음을 수치적으로 예측하는 것이다. 풍력발전기 공력소음에 관한 어떠한 실험적 자료가 존재하지 않으므로, 먼저 정격풍속에서 토크와 출력 등의 공력성능 수치결과를 실험결과와 비교하여 소음원 예측의 타당성을 검증한 후, 풍속 변화에 따른 공력소음 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 수치성능결과는 약0.8%이내에서 실험결과와 잘 일치하였다. 풍속이 증가함에 따라 사극자와 이극자에 의한 총음압레벨은 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 풍력터빈 허브중심으로부터 거리가 증가함에 따라 원방에서는 $r^{-1}$, 근방에서는 $r^{-2}$에 비례하여 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 거리가 두배 증가함에 따른 총음압레벨은 약 6dB 감소하였다.

The flow structure inside the intake head greatly affects the working efficiency of a vacuum cleaner such as suction power and aero-acoustic noise. In this study, the flow inside intake heads of a vacuum cleaner was investigated using qualitative flow visualization and quantitative PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) techniques. The aerodynamic power, suction efficiency and noise level of the intake heads were also measured. In order to improve the performance of the vacuum cleaner, inner structure of the flow paths of the intake head, such as trench height and shape of connection chamber were modified. The flow structures of modified intake heads were compared with that of the original intake head. The aero-acoustic noise caused by flow separation was reduced and the suction efficiency was also changed due to flow path modification of intake head. In this paper, the variations of flow fields for different intake heads are presented and discussed together with results of aerodynamic power, suction efficiency and noise level.

The flight vehicles have cavities such as wheel wells and bomb bays. The flow around a cavity is characterized as unsteady flow because of the formation and dissipation of vortices due to the interaction between the freestream shear layer and cavity internal flow, the generation of shock and expansion waves. Resonance phenomena can damage the structures around the cavity and negatively affect aerodynamic performance and stability. The flow field is observed to oscillate in the "shear layer mode" with low aspect ratio. In the present study, numerical analysis was performed for cavity flows by the unsteady compressible three dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with Wilcox's $\kappa$-$\omega$ turbulence model. The flow field is observed to oscillate in the shear layer mode" with large aspect ratio. Based on the SPL(Sound Pressure Level) analysis of the pressure variation at the cavity trailing edge, the dominant frequency was analyzed and compared with the results of Rossiter's formul. The aero-acoustic wave analyzed with CPD(Correlation of Pressure Distribution).
