In the present paper, hovering performance analyses of proprotor and helicopter rotor blades were performed by using FLUENT software. As a proprotor, TRAM(Tilt Rotor Aeroacoustic Model) was selected and performance analysis was carried out with mesh adaptation for more elaborate solution. As a helicopter rotor blades, two bladed Caradonna and Tung's rotor and four-bladed BO-105 helicopter rotor blades were selected. In case of Caradonna and Tung's rotor, vortex trajectory was compared with experimental data to inspect the vortex convection capability of the present flow solver. For the final case, performance of BO-105 helicopter rotor blades was investigated and compared with experimental data. After performance analyses of proprotor and helicopter rotors, it was shown that the present solver showed reasonable vortex strength, wake geometry and thurst coefficient distributions. But power coefficient was somewhat overestimated about $10%{\sim}15%$ regard less of mesh adaptation.

The unsteady flow characteristics and the related noise of separated incompressible laminar boundary layer flows (Re$\sub$$\delta$/* = 614, 868, and 1,063) are numerically investigated. The characteristic lines of the wall pressure are examined to identify the primary noise source, related with the unsteady motion of the vortex at the reattachment point of the separation bubble. The generation and propagation of the vortex-induced noise in the separated laminar boundary layer are computed by the method of Computational Aero-Acoustics (CAA), and the effects of Reynolds number, Mach number and adverse pressure gradient strength are examined.

In this study, a cross-flow fan system used in indoor unit of the split-type air conditioner is analyzed by computational simulation. A commercial CFD code - Fluent - is used to calculate the performance and its unsteady flow characteristics. The unsteady incompressible Wavier-Stokes equations are solved using a sliding mesh technique on the interface between rotating fan region and the outside. The acoustic pressure is calculated by using Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings equation. (omitted)

In the case of aeroacoustic test in windtunnel, measurement accuracy is reduced by not only Doppler effects but also by the microphone self noise due to airflow and high turbulence in the wall boundary layer. Microphone array measurements can be easily utilized for the solutions of these problems. In this paper, geometrical optics approach and diagonal term elimination of cross spectral matrix was introduced to the de-dopplerization and self noise reduction methods for the microphone array measurement. For the validation, beamforming tests for sinusoidal point source were performed in the closed type test section of windtunnel, and their performances of beam width and sidelobe rejection were significantly improved.

The aeroacoustic phenomena in the simple rectangular open cavity are well published by many researchers. But the geometry shapes of aircraft landing gear wells, weapon bays, etc. are more complicate than that of the simple retangular cavity. They are more similar to the cavity having cover-plates at adges, or Helmholtz resonator. Therefore, the effects of cover-plates existing on edges of rectangular open cavity are numerically investigated in this paper. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved for two-dimensional cavities with laminar boundary layers upstream. The high-order and high-resolution numerical schemes are used for the evaluation of spatial derivatives and the time integration. Physically correct numerical boundary conditions and buffer zone techniques are implemented to produce time-accurate solutions in the whole computation domain. The computational domain is large enough to directly resolve a portion of the radiated acoustic field. Results show that the cover-plates existing on edges of cavity reduce the noise convected from cavity, make the frequency of noise become higher, and change the directivity pattern. So these results can be used in the design of a low noise cavity.

Microphone array beamforming method has been recognized as an important aeroacoustic research field and become a standard technique in localizing sound sources. This method also used in flight acoustic measurement, and especially, it is very useful when measure sounds inside the wind tunnel. In measuring sound which is inside the wind tunnel by traditional beamforming method, there are some errors caused by airstream. The speed and the propagation path of the sound changes as it travel through the airstream. This makes the error which the position of sound is changed a little bit to the down stream direction. In this paper, validation test has made about the correction equation for this wind effects of previous researches. And beamforming including shear layer correction was performed about a sound source in the anechoic open-jet wind tunnel.

Fans are widely used in household electrical appliances due to their easy usage and high performance for cooling capacity. However, the noise generated by these fans causes one of serious problems. LG electronics makes the intranet software for design and analysis of fan. Axial, sirocco and centrifugal fan can be designed and analyzed by using the IFD(Intranet Based Fans Design) software. In order to calculate the aeroacoustic noise of a fan, the numerical method, which can calculate the acoustic pressure at the blade passing frequency and its higher harmonic frequencies, has been developed. To calculate the unsteady resultant force of the blade, vortex method is used. This paper shows the overview of the software and validates the accuracy of predicted noise of fan.

To develop the code of predicting flow-field and aeroacoustic noise by a electrical cable, a combined CFD-acoustic analogy approach is selected. The two-dimensional, unsteady, incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes solver with a ${\kappa}{\omega}$, ${\kappa}{\omega}$ SST turbulence modeling is used to calculate the near-field around electrical cable. Near-field results are then coupled with two-dimensional Curle's integral formulation based upon Lighthill's acoustic analogy with an assumption of acoustic compactness. To validate this code, numerical results are compared with experimental data for a circular cylinder. The simulation shows an overprediction on acoustic amplitudes, but overally speaking, the spectrum pattern of sound pressure agrees well with experiment in an acceptable amount of error. In addition, various cross sections of a cable were selected and compared with each other in terms of drag and radiated noise.

The evaluation of a zonal RANS-LES approach is documented for the prediction of broadband noise generated by the flow past unmodified and serrated airfoil trailing edges at a high Reynolds number. A multi-domain decomposition is considered, where the acoustic sources are resolved with a LES sub-domain embedded in the RANS domain. A stochastic vortex method is used to generate synthetic turbulent perturbations at the RANS-LES interface. The simulations are performed with a general-purpose unstructured control-volume code FLUENT. The far-field noise is calculated using the aeroacoustic analogy of Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings. The results of the simulation are validated through the full-scaled wind turbine acoustic measurements. It is found that the present approach is adequate for predicting noise radiation of serrated trailing edge flow for low noise rotor system.
