Aft fan noise is becoming a more dominant source as engine bypass ratio is increased. In this paper an assessment of the effect of the mean flow gradients on fan exhaust noise propagation is carried out using both analytical models for simplified problems and numerical methods for realistic configurations. Fan exhaust noise can be significantly refracted by the mean flow gradients in the jet mixing layer, especially at high operating conditions (i.e. during take off). The refraction effect is predicted using either Lilley's equation or the linearized Euler equations. For parallel base flflows, an issue with these linear models is the presence of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities whose unlimited exponential growth is unphysical and problematic for computational methods. This problem is less critical for developing mixing layer for instance where the growth of the vorticity thickness reduces the growth of the instability waves [1]. Various techniques have been used for suppressing the instability; these include adding non-linear terms to saturate the growth of the instability [2], using frequency domain analysis [3], or removing the mean flow gradient terms [4]. It is the last approach, termed Gradient Term Suppression (GTS), which is investigated in the present work.

Numerical simulation of fore and aft sound fields of a turbofan
Özyörük, Yusuf (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2004-10-01)
A framework for predicting fan related noise from high bypass ratio engines is presented. The methodology accounts for both fore and aft radiation and includes the effects of liner treatment on the engine walls. Solutions are obtained through a combination of Euler and linearized Euler solvers, coupled with a Kirchhoff formulation for far-field noise prediction. The nacelle region is solved using the Eider solver, whereas the linearized Euler solver is used for the fan exhaust stage. Switching to the linear...
Parallel optimization of flapping airfoils in a biplane configuration for maximum thrust
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2004-05-27)
Flapping airfoils in a biplane configuration are optimized for a maximum thrust production. A parallel Navier-Stokes solver on overset grids and a gradient based parallel optimization method are employed. The periodic flapping motion of airfoils in a plane configuration is described in a combined pitch and plunge. The pitch and plunge amplitudes and the phase shift between them are optimized for a range of flapping frequencies. It is shown that at low flapping frequencies, flapping airfoils in a biplane con...
Wind noise prediction of a car model through solutions of navier-stokes and FFOWCS williams & Hawkings equations
Gümüş, Baran; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
Vehicles are getting quieter by virtue of recent technological improvements, but still wind noise of vehicles is one of the major contributors of total vehicle noise. It must be limited to design quieter vehicles. Compared to aeroacoustic wind tunnel tests, suc-cessful aeroacoustic predictions are cheaper and more practical. Thus, accurate flow simulation and computational aeroacoustics (CAA) methods to predict vehicle aero-dynamic noise are investigated and discussed in this thesis. Moreover, accurate flow...

Yıldırım, Ali; Eyi, Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
S-duct diffusers are often used for aircraft propulsion systems that convey the intake air to the engine compressor. In this thesis, flow structure at separated entrance conditions in an S-duct diffuser that designed for a micro turbojet engine powered aircraft is investigated using experimental and numerical methods. Flow characteristics such as flow separation, secondary flows, and swirl are investigated to find out the source of distortions and pressure loss at aerodynamics interface plane. Experiments a...
Simulation of Dynamic Operation in Salient Pole Synchronous Machines
Dordea, Toma; Munteanu, Radu; Campeanu, Aurel (2011-09-10)
The design of today's high performance synchronous motors must take into account not only the steady state but also practically inevitable dynamic regimes. In such conditions an accurate predetermination of the parameters and constructive solution by modeling and simulation of the given dynamic operation, becomes a mandatory step. In this aim, in the present paper a novel mathematical model of the high power salient pole synchronous machine (SPSM) is elaborated. We proposed to consider especially the effect...
