Prediction of Broadband Noise from Symmetric and Cambered Airfoils
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Aerodynamic sound generation and self-noise mechanisms from lifting surfaces such as airfoil involve the fields of classical acoustics and fluid mechanics. In this paper, trailing edge noise production is evaluated using empirical model for NACA 0012 and NACA 6320 airfoils. The sound pressure levels from trailing edge surface are calculated for different flow configurations. The growth of boundary layer thickness and displacement thickness, for different chord lengths and Mach numbers with varying angles of attack, is illustrated for NACA 0012. The sound pressure levels were computed numerically between 0 degrees to 6 degrees angles of attack and at constant chord length of 1.2m using Brookes Pope Marcolini method. The results showed a change of ~2-5dB in peak amplitude for mid frequencies region of spectrum. The effects of varying chord length and Mach number on sound pressure levels are illustrated for both airfoils. The relative velocity field for airfoils was computed using the boundary element method. The combined effect of thickness and camber on sound power level is demonstrated at a 4 degrees angle of attack and for a Mach number of 0.191. Validation of sound pressure levels is done based on the results obtained for NACA0012 for similar flow conditions.
