Far-field inlet fan noise can usually be measured under anechoic conditions in some model scale fan rig test facilities but far-field aft fan noise measurements are often not possible because the bypass flow is ducted away through a throttle into an exhaust stack. A beamformer-based technique has been developed for processing measurements taken with an in-duct axial ('phased') array in the bypass duct, which with certain modelling assumptions, enables the fan broadband noise level and directivity to be predicted in the far-field. Validation with a realistic fan noise source has been partially achieved by using experimental data from the NASA ANCF low-speed fan rig with flow up to Mach 0.17. The modal transfer functions are computed using a 'plug' flow exhaust model based upon a well-established Wiener-Hopf farfield technique ('GXMunt') but since the measured far-field data is located at three diameters, modal transfer functions are also computed at that distance and with a spreading jet model using a linearised Euler code ('FLESTURN'). Both models yield predictions that agree reasonably well with measured data but the latter is more accurate at small angles to the jet axis. To complete the validation of this method, data is required at the higher Mach numbers corresponding to the aircraft approach, cut-back and sideline conditions, with realistic bypass nozzle geometry.

Numerical and experimental investigation Of two-phase flow distribution through multiple outlets from a horizontal drum Pezek, Enis; Yeşin, Ahmet Orhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) In CANDU reactors, under normal operating conditions, the inlet headers collect and distribute single-phase liquid flow (heavy water) to the fuel cooling channels via the feeders. However, under some postulated loss of coolant accidents, the inlet headers may receive two-phase fluid (steam/water) and the fluid forms a stratified region inside the header. To predict the thermalhydraulic behaviour of headers for the reactor safety analysis, the two-phase flow distribution within the headers and through the fe...
Desing of an engine mount with dry friction damping Boral, Caner; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) Automotive engine mounts are used to support engine weight, protect engine from road inputs and isolate transmission of vibrations created by the engine, which has a drastic effect on the noise generated inside the passenger cabin. Most common types of engine mounts are elastomeric and hydraulic mounts, the former having better vibration isolation characteristics whereas the latter displays better shock isolation. Elastomeric mounts are widely used for their low initial cost, while hydraulic mounts with ine...
External Search Coil as a Means of Measuring Rotor Speed of an Induction Motor Özlü Ertan, Hatice Gülçin; Keysan, Ozan (2009-07-03) The study in this paper investigates whether the air gap harmonics can be identified by using an external search coil placed on the frame of an induction motor. For this purpose the study focuses on the prediction of rotor speed of an induction motor from external search coil emf, using spectral analysis techniques. In the first stage of the study the type of search coil which maximizes the induced emf is sought, also the position of the coil on the induced emf is investigated. Several motors are tested wit...
Experimental and computational investigation of the emergency coolant injection effect in a candu inlet header Turhan, K. Zafer; Yeşin, Ahmet Orhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) Inlet headers in the primary heat transport system(PHTS) of CANDU type reactors, are used to collect the coolant coming from the steam generators and distribute them into the reactor core via several feeders. During a postulated loss of coolant accident (LOCA), depressurization and vapor supplement into the core may occur, which results a deterioration in the heat transfer from fuel to the coolant. When a depressurization occurs, “Emergency Coolant Injection(ECI)” system in the PHTS in CANDU reactors, is au...
Prediction of ducted diaphragm noise using a stochastic approach with adapted temporal filters Karban, Ugur; Schram, Christophe; Sovardi, Carlo; Polifke, Wolfgang (SAGE Publications, 2019-01-01) The noise production by ducted single- and double-diaphragm configurations is simulated using a stochastic noise generation and radiation numerical method. The importance of modeling correctly the anisotropy and temporal de-correlation is discussed, based on numerical results obtained by large eddy simulation. A new temporal filter is proposed, designed to provide the targeted spectral decay of energy in an Eulerian reference frame. An anisotropy correction is implemented using a non-linear model. The acous...
