Recent Trends

This paper reviews recent trends of analysis of aeroacoustic problems via traditional CFD techniques, as well as analysis of aerodynamic problems via modern aeroacoustic methods. Individual methods are described and tendencies of evolution are indicated. A generalized version of the full potential equation is derived. These two complementary forms of research converge towards the integration of Aeroacoustics and Aerodynamics into a single framework, where the computer serves as an integration tool.

Weak Shocks

A numerical solution for the flow field associated with a compressible pair of counter-rotating vortices is developed. The compressible, two-dimensional potential equation is solved utilizing the numerical method of Osher et al. (1985) for flow regions in which a non-zero density exists. Close to the vortex centres, vacuum ‘cores’ develop owing to the existence of a maximum achievable flow speed in a compressible flow field. A special treatment is required to represent these vacuum cores. Typical streamline patterns and core boundaries are obtained for upstream Mach numbers as high as 0.3, and the formation of weak shocks, predicted by Moore & Pullin (1987), is observed.
