AbstractA theoretical model is developed for the sound scattered when a sound wave is incident on a cambered aerofoil at non-zero angle of attack. The model is based on the linearization of the Euler equations about a steady subsonic flow, and is an adaptation of previous work which considered incident vortical disturbances. Only high-frequency sound waves are considered. The aerofoil thickness, camber and angle of attack are restricted such that the steady flow past the aerofoil is a small perturbation to a uniform flow. The singular perturbation analysis identifies asymptotic regions around the aerofoil; local ‘inner’ regions, which scale on the incident wavelength, at the leading and trailing edges of the aerofoil; Fresnel regions emanating from the leading and trailing edges of the aerofoil due to the coalescence of singularities and points of stationary phase; a wake transition region downstream of the aerofoil leading and trailing edge; and an outer region far from the aerofoil and wake. An acoustic boundary layer on the aerofoil surface and within the transition region accounts for the effects of curvature. The final result is a uniformly-valid solution for the far-field sound; the effects of angle of attack, camber and thickness are investigated.

AbstractA theoretical model is constructed to predict the far-field sound generated by high-frequency gust–aerofoil interaction in steady parallel shear flow, including the effects of aerofoil thickness. Our approach is to use asymptotic analysis of the Euler equations linearised about steady parallel shear flow, in the limits of high frequency and small, but non-zero, aerofoil thickness and Mach number. The analysis splits the flow into various regions around the aerofoil; local inner regions around the leading and the trailing edges where sound is generated and scattered; a surface transition region accounting for the curvature of the aerofoil; a wake transition region downstream of the aerofoil; and an outer region through which the sound propagates to the observer. Solutions are constructed in all regions, and matched using the principle of matched asymptotic expansions to yield the first two terms in the expansion of both the amplitude and the phase of the far-field pressure. Result are computed for the particular case of scattering of a gust by a symmetric Joukowski aerofoil placed in symmetric Gaussian parallel shear flow. The introduction of mean shear is shown to have a significant effect on the far-field directivity and on the total radiated power.

We review the ongoing work of the Baikal Collaboration on acoustic detection of super high energy neutrinos. Some results of the study of high frequency acoustic noise in Lake Baikal are presented. A lot of short impulses with different amplitudes and shapes were detected, which should be considered as a background for acoustic neutrino detection. However, most of the short impulses appear to be due to noise sound waves interference and can be eliminated by a correlation analysis. Only a few detected bipolar impulses probably were produced by quasi local sources.

A theoretical model is developed for the sound generated when a convected vortical or entropic gust encounters an airfoil at non-zero angle of attack. The theory is based on a linearization of the Euler equations about the steady subsonic flow past the airfoil. High-frequency gusts, whose wavelengths are short compared to the airfoil chord, but long compared to the displacement of the mean-flow stagnation point from the leading edge, are considered. The analysis utilizes singular-perturbation techniques and involves four asymptotic regions. Local regions, which scale on the gust wavelength, are present at the airfoil leading and trailing edges. Behind the airfoil a ‘transition’ region, which is similar to the transition zone between illuminated and shadow zones in optical problems, is present. In the outer region, far away from the airfoil edges and wake, the solution has a geometric-acoustics form. The primary sound generation is found to be concentrated in the local leading-edge region. The trailing edge plays a secondary role as a scatterer of the sound generated in the leading-edge region. Parametric calculations are presented which illustrate that moderate levels of airfoil steady loading can significantly affect the sound field produced by airfoil–gust interactions.

In this paper, the effect of ceramsite aggregate size and gradation on the sound absorption and mechanical properties of the materials were studied and the relationship between material’s pore structure and its sound absorption were discussed. It can be found from the results that the sound absorption and mechanical properties of the ceramsite sound-absorbing materials increase with the content of the fine ceramsite increased due to the decrease of the median pore diameter of the ceramsite sound-absorbing materials where the improvement of the sound absorption at the high frequency band is more significant suggesting that fine pores have a better sound-absorbing effect for high-frequency noise. Higher effective porosity doesn’t mean better sound absorption, because materials with coarse pores have shorter internal routes for sound waves and less friction during sound waves passing through pores, which conversely decreases the material’s sound absorption. Ceramsite with higher internal porosity and more uniform pore diameter distribution can produce materials with better sound absorption.

This paper investigates the noise emissions from NACA 6412 asymmetric airfoil with different perforated extension plates at the trailing edge. The length of the extension plate is 10 mm, and the pore diameters ( D) considered for the study are in the range of 0.689 to 1.665 mm. The experiments are carried out in the flow velocity ( U∞) range of 20 to 45 m/s, and geometric angles of attack ( αg) values of −10° to +10°. Perforated extensions have an overwhelming response in reducing the low frequency noise (<1.5 kHz), and a reduction of up to 6 dB is observed with an increase in the pore diameter. Contrastingly, the higher frequency noise (>4 kHz) is observed to increase with an increase in the pore diameter. The dominant reduction in the low frequency noise for perforated model airfoils is within the Strouhal number (based on the displacement thickness) of 0.11. The overall sound pressure levels of perforated model airfoils are observed to reduce by a maximum of 2 dB compared to the base airfoil. Finally, by varying the geometric angle of attack from −10° to +10°, the lower frequency noise is seen to increase, while the high frequency noise is observed to decrease.
