Recently, plastic products in air-intake parts of automotive engines have become very popular due to advantages that include reduced weight, constricted cost, and lower intake air temperature. However, flow-induced noise in air-intake parts becomes a more serious problem for plastic intake-manifolds than for conventional aluminum-made manifolds. This is due to the fact that plastic manifolds transmit more noise owing to their lower material density. Internal aerodynamic noise from an idle speed control actuator(ISA) is qualitatively analyzed by using a scaling law, which is expressed with some flow parameters such as pressure drop, maximum flow velocity, and turbulence kinetic energy. First, basic flow characteristics through ISA passage are identified with the flow predictions obtained by applying computational fluid dynamics techniques. Then, the effects on ISA passage noise of each design factors including the duct turning shape and vane geometries are assessed. Based on these results, the preliminary low noise design for the ISA passage are proposed. The current method for the prediction of internal aerodynamic noise consists of the steady CFD and the scaling laws for the noise prediction. This combination is most cost-effective, compared with other methods, and therefore is believed to be suited for the preliminary design tool in the industrial field.

It is essential for the accurate time-domain prediction of broadband noise due to turbulence-cascade interaction to develop inflow/outflow boundary conditions to satisfy the following three requirements: to maintain the back ground mean flow, to nonreflect the outgoing disturbances and to generate the specified input gust. The preceding study(1) showed that Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) boundary condition was successfully applied to absorb the outgoing disturbances and to generate the specified gust in the time-domain computations of broadband noise due to interaction of incident gust with a cascade of flat-plates. In present study, PML boundary condition is extended in order to predict steady mean flow that is needed for the computation of noise due to interaction of incident gust with a cascade of airfoils. PML boundary condition is originally designed to absorb flow disturbances superimposed on the steady meanflow in the buffer zone. However, the steady meanflow must be computed before PML boundary condition is applied on the flow computation. In the present paper, PML equations are extended by introducing source term to maintain desired mean flow conditions. The extended boundary condition is applied to the benchmark problem where the meanflow around a cascade of airfoils is predicted. These illustrative computations reveal that the extended PML equations can effectively provide and maintain the target meanflow.

Aeroacoustic characteristics of sirocco fan used in Over-The-Range (OTR) has been analyzed in this paper. A microwave hood combination over the gas range is short for the OTR. The flow phenomena of the double-sided sirocco fan was analyzed numerically and experimentally by using commercial code and three dimensional PIV for flow visualization. Also, microphone array is used in order to understand acoustic characteristics of OTR. Two dimensional unsteady flow and acoustic simulation is tried to qualitatively estimate the effects of tonal noise and broadband noise on the overall sound pressure level. It is found that tonal sound is generated from the strong interaction between the impeller and cutoff while broadband sound is generated from the strong secondary flows along the scroll surface. To reduce the noise level, the V-shape cut-off was applied to improve the sound quality by reducing tonal noise. So the peak noise at BPF (Blade Passing Frequency) was almost reduced. The shape of flow-guide to suppress the secondary flow over the scroll surface was carefully checked. It is found that this affects flow pattern at the fan exit and reduces the broad band noise. Through this numerical and experimental study, the sound pressure level was lowered by 4dBA compared to that of the previous fan at the operating point.

The interior vehicle noise due to the exterior aerodynamic field is an important topic in the acoustic design of a car. The air flow detached from the A-pillar and impacting the side windows are of particular interest as they are located close to the driver / passenger and provides a lower insulation index than the trimmed car body parts. HMC is interested in the numerical prediction of this aerodynamic noise generated by the car windows with the final objective of improving the products design and reducing this noise. The methodology proposed in this paper relies on two steps: the first step involves the computation of the exterior flow and turbulence induced non-linear acoustic field using the CAA(Computational aeroacoustics) solver CAA++. The second step consists in the computation of the vibro-acoustic transmission through the side window using the finite element vibro-acoustic solver Actran. The internal air cavity including trim component are included in the simulation. In order to validate the numerical process, an experimental set-up has been created based on a generic car shape. The car body includes the windshield and two side windows. The body is made of aluminum and trimmed with porous layers. First, this paper describes the method including the CAA and the vibro-acoustic models, from the boundary conditions to the different components involved, like the windows, the trims and the car cavity is detailed. In a second step, the experimental set-up is described. In the last part, the vibration of the windshield and windows, the total wind noise level results and the relative contributions of the different windows are then presented and compared to measurements. The influence of the flow yaw angle (different wind orientation) is also assessed.

본 논문에서는 제자리 비행하는 동축반전 로터의 설계 파라미터인 상하부 로터의 축 간격에 따른 공력 특성 및 공력소음 특성에 관해 전산유체해석을 통해 분석하였다. Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes 방정식을 사용하여 공력 해석을 진행하였으며 공력소음 해석 시에 Ffowcs Williams ans Hawkings 방정식을 사용하여 공력 특성 및 공력소음 특성을 비교하였다. 동축반전 로터는 회전에 의해 상하부 로터가 다른 각도를 가지며, 위상이 주기적으로 변하는 비정상 특성을 가진다. 상하부 로터의 간격이 증가함에 따라 유동 상호간섭이 감소하여 추력 및 토크의 공기역학적인 효율이 증가함을 확인하였다. 공력소음 관점에서 회전 평면 방향으로 방사하는 소음 특성은 축 간격에 의한 영향이 미미하게 나타났다. 로터 수직 아래 방향으로 주파수가 증가함에 따라 음압이 감쇄하지 않고 크기가 유지되어 전체 음압 수준을 증가시킨다. 동축반전 로터의 축 간격이 증가함에 따라 유동의 비정상 특성이 감소하여 전체 음압 수준이 크게 감소함을 확인하였다.

Efficient numerical method is developed for the prediction of aerodynamic noise generation and propagation in low Mach number flows such as aeolian tone noise. The proposed numerical method is based on acoustic/viscous splitting techniques of which acoustic solvers use simplified linearised Euler equations, full linearised Euler equations and nonlinear perturbation equations as acoustic governing equations. All of acoustic equations are forced with immersed surface dipole model which is developed for the efficient computation of aerodynamic noise generation and propagation in low Mach number flows in which dipole source, originating from unsteady pressure fluctuation on a solid surface, is known to be more efficient than quadrupole sources. Multi-scale overset grid technique is also utilized to resolve the complex geometries. Initially, aeolian tone from single cylinder is considered to examine the effects that the immersed surface dipole models combined with the different acoustic governing equations have on the overall accuracy of the method. Then, the current numerical method is applied to the simulation of the aeolian tones from twin cylinders aligned perpendicularly to the mean flow and separated 3 diameters between their centers. In this configuration, symmetric vortices are shed from twin cylinders, which leads to the anti-phase of the lift dipoles and the in-phase of the drag dipoles. Due to these phase differences, the directivity of the fluctuating pressure from the lift dipoles shows the comparable magnitude with that from the drag dipoles at 10 diameters apart from the origin. However, the directivity at 100 diameters shows that the lift-dipole originated noise has larger magnitude than, but still comparable to, that of the drag-dipole one. Comparison of the numerical results with and without mean flow effects on the acoustic wave emphasizes the effects of the sheared background flows around the cylinders on the propagating acoustic waves, which is not generally considered by the classic acoustic analogy methods. Through the comparison of the results using the immersed surface dipole models with those using point sources, it is demonstrated that the current methods can allow for the complex interactions between the acoustic wave and the solid wall and the effects of the mean flow on the acoustic waves.

선박 및 수중구조물의 고속, 대형화 및 요구조건 강화의 추세에 따라 유동소음 예측기술의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 항공, 철도 등의 공력소음 분야에서는 음향상사법을 이용하여 순음 및 광대역 유동소음에 대해 활발히 연구되고 있는 반면 조선해양분야에서는 수중추진기의 날개주파수소음에 대해서만 일부 고려되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 날개면 형상의 주요 유동소음발생 메커니즘 뒷날소음을 고려 가능한 FW-H Formulation 1B를 이용하여 수중추진기 및 선저부가물의 기초요소인 수중익에 대해 광대역소음 예측기법을 연구하였다. 기존의 FW-H Formulation 1B는 공기 중의 압력상관관계 모델에 기반하여 구성되어 있어 매질에 대한 일반성 및 정확도의 한계를 가지므로 수중환경에 대해 일반성을 가지는 벽면변동압력 모델로 확장하는 방법론을 제시하였다. 공기 중 날개면의 소음계측결과와 비교해 벽면변동압력 모델을 이용할 경우 기존모델의 해석결과 대비 5 dB 이내의 오차로 정확도 관점에서의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었으며 전산유체역학과 벽면변동압력을 이용한 수중환경의 광대역소음해석 절차를 확립하고 수중익의 광대역소음 예측을 수행하였다.
