Aeroacoustic noise calculations of non-compact bodies with permeable boundaries

Abstract

A hybrid computational aeroacoustic method with permeable boundary is developed to evaluate non-compact noise induced by low Mach number flow over arbitrarily shaped bodies. Based on Lighthill’s equation and the boundary element method, the unified integral equations are established in which the integral boundary surrounding the objects can be selected arbitrarily. Validation studies are developed for noise induced by two-dimensional NACA0012 airfoil and three-dimensional circular cylinder. For NACA0012 airfoil, the directivity patterns of calculated noise with different permeable boundaries agree well with Howe’s analytical solution for trailing edge model. The acoustic noise generated by circular cylinder has a good agreement with Revell’s experimental data and FW-H equation. It demonstrates that the noise predicted by different permeable boundary is as accurate as that calculated by the body surface.
