Grazing Flow

In this work, modified designs of Helmholtz resonators with extended deflected neck are proposed, numerically evaluated and optimized aiming to achieve a better transmission loss performance over a broader frequency range. For this, 10 Helmholtz resonators with different extended neck configurations (e.g. the angle between extended neck and the y-axis) in the presence of a grazing flow are assessed. Comparison is then made between the proposed resonators and the conventional one, i.e. in the absence of an extended neck (i.e. Design A). For this, a two-dimensional linearized Navier Stokes equations-based model of a duct with the modified Helmholtz resonator implemented was developed in frequency domain. The model was first validated by comparing its numerical predictions with the experimental results available in the literature and the theoretical results. The model was then applied to evaluate the noise damping performance of the Helmholtz resonator with (1) an extended neck on the upstream side (Design B); (2) on the downstream side (Design C), (3) both upstream and downstream sides (Design D), (4) the angle between the extended neck and the y-axis, i.e. (a) 0°, (b) 30°, and (c) 45°, (d) 48.321°. In addition, the effects of the grazing flow Mach number (Ma) were evaluated. It was found that the transmission loss peaks of the Helmholtz resonator with the extended neck was maximized at Ma = 0.03 than at the other Mach numbers. Conventional resonator, i.e. Design A was observed to be associated with a lower transmission loss performance at a lower resonant frequency than those as observed on Designs B–D. Moreover, the optimum design of the proposed resonators with the extended neck is shown to be able to shift the resonant frequency by approximately 90 Hz, and maximum transmission loss could be increased by 28–30 dB. In addition, the resonators with extended necks are found to be associated with two or three transmission loss peaks, indicating that these designs have a broader effective frequency range. Finally, the neck deflection angles of 30° and 45° are shown to be involved with better transmission loss peaks than that with a deflection angle of 0°. In summary, the present study sheds light on maximizing the resonator’s noise damping performances by applying and optimizing an extended neck.

Abstract This paper presents preliminary results from an acoustic post processor for incompressible, viscous computations. The method is applied to the two-dimensional problem of grazing flow past a cavity. A research RANS code is used to obtain the incompressible flow field quantities. Subsequently, the acoustic calculation is performed using a second-order finite-difference scheme. The method is shown to be a viable strategy for obtaining predictions for the acoustic field associated with a viscous, subsonic flow.

Maximum Transmission

As a typical noise-attenuating device, Helmholtz resonators are widely implemented in aero-engines and gas turbines to decrease the transmission of acoustic noise. However, an asymmetric Helmholtz resonator could be designed and implemented due to the limited space available in the engines. To examine and optimize the noise-attenuating performances of the asymmetric resonator, comparison studies are performed. For this, a two-dimensional frequency-domain model of a cylindrical duct with a grazing flow is developed. An asymmetric Helmholtz resonator is attached as a side branch. The model containing the linearized Navier–Stokes equations is validated first by comparing the predicted results with the experimental ones available in the literature. Further validation is conducted by comparing the results of an asymmetric resonator with the analytical ones available in the literature. The effects of (1) neck offset distance from the center of the resonator cavity denoted by [Formula: see text] and (2) the grazing flow Mach number [Formula: see text] are evaluated. It is shown that as the grazing flow Mach number is increased, the resonant frequencies and the maximum transmission losses are dramatically varied for a given [Formula: see text]. As [Formula: see text] is increased from 0 to 0.5 and [Formula: see text], the resonant frequencies and the maximum transmission losses are increased. However, when [Formula: see text] is lower than 0.07, i.e. [Formula: see text], the transmission loss performances are almost unchanged with [Formula: see text] increased. The optimum design of the asymmetric resonator is shown to give rise to the resonant frequency being shifted by 10% and 2–5 dB more transmission loss at higher Mach number. Finally, visualization of vortex shedding formed at the neck of the asymmetric resonator confirms that acoustical energy is transformed into kinetic energy and absorbed by the surrounding air. This study opens up a numerical design approach to optimize an asymmetric resonator.

Effusion cooled liners, commonly used in gas turbine combustion chambers to reduce wall temperature, may also help reducing the propagation of pressure fluctuations due to thermoacoustic instabilities. Large Eddy Simulations were conducted to accurately model the flow field and the acoustic response of effusion plates subject to a mean bias flow under external sinusoidal forcing. Even though existing lower order computational models showed good predicting capabilities, it is interesting to verify directly the influence of those parameters such as the staggered arrangement, the hole inclination, the presence of a grazing flow and the level of bias flow, which are not fully included in those models. A first bi-periodic single hole configuration with normal acoustic forcing was selected to investigate the acousting behavior with varying inclination angle, bias and grazing flow. 90° and 30° perforations were simulated for bias flow Mach number in the range 0.05–0.1 and grazing flow between 0 and 0.08. Those conditions were chosen to expand the knowledge of acoustic properties towards actual liners working conditions. A second more computationally expensive set-up, including 4 inclined holes at 30°, focused on the damping of parallel to the plate waves. Details of the computational methods implemented in the general purpose open-source unstructured CFD code OpenFOAM® exploited to conduct this analysis are reported together with an analysis of the results obtained from the acoustic computations both regarding the flow field generated and the absorption and energy dissipation coefficient.
