Advanced Trailing Edge Blowing Concepts for Fan Noise Control
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
This study documents trailing edge blowing research performed to reduce rotor / stator interaction noise in turbofan engines. The existing technique of filling every velocity deficit requires a large amount of air and is therefore impractical. The purpose of this research is to investigate new blowing configurations in order to achieve noise reduction with lesser amounts of air. Using the new configurations air is not injected into every fan blade, but is instead varied circumferentially. For example, blowing air may be applied to alternating fan blades. This type of blowing configuration both reduces the amount of air used and changes the spectral shape of the tonal interaction noise. The original tones at the blade passing frequency and its harmonics are reduced and new tones are introduced between them. This change in the tonal spectral shape increases the performance of acoustic liners used in conjunction with trailing edge blowing.

Nearest Wall Flows – the Genuine Turbulence
Traditionally, the wall-bounded flows are boundary-layer like flows where the velocity gradients normal to the wall u/y are very large and the velocity monotonously increases from zero to about the velocity free flow,...
