AbstractThis paper is concerned with modelling the effects of swirling flow on turbomachinery noise. We develop an acoustic analogy to predict sound generation in a swirling and sheared base flow in an annular duct, including the presence of moving solid surfaces to account for blade rows. In so doing we have extended a number of classical earlier results, including Ffowcs Williams & Hawkings’ equation in a medium at rest with moving surfaces, and Lilley’s equation for a sheared but non-swirling jet. By rearranging the Navier–Stokes equations we find a single equation, in the form of a sixth-order differential operator acting on the fluctuating pressure field on the left-hand side and a series of volume and surface source terms on the right-hand side; the form of these source terms depends strongly on the presence of swirl and radial shear. The integral form of this equation is then derived, using the Green’s function tailored to the base flow in the (rigid) duct. As is often the case in duct acoustics, it is then convenient to move into temporal, axial and azimuthal Fourier space, where the Green’s function is computed numerically. This formulation can then be applied to a number of turbomachinery noise sources. For definiteness here we consider the noise produced downstream when a steady distortion flow is incident on the fan from upstream, and compare our results with those obtained using a simplistic but commonly used Doppler correction method. We show that in all but the simplest case the full inclusion of swirl within an acoustic analogy, as described in this paper, is required.

This paper uses asymptotic analysis within the generalized acoustic analogy formulation (Goldstein 2003 JFM 488 , 315–333. ( doi:10.1017/S0022112003004890 )) to develop a noise prediction model for the peak sound of axisymmetric round jets at subsonic acoustic Mach numbers (Ma). The analogy shows that the exact formula for the acoustic pressure is given by a convolution product of a propagator tensor (determined by the vector Green's function of the adjoint linearized Euler equations for a given jet mean flow) and a generalized source term representing the jet turbulence field. Using a low-frequency/small spread rate asymptotic expansion of the propagator, mean flow non-parallelism enters the lowest order Green's function solution via the streamwise component of the mean flow advection vector in a hyperbolic partial differential equation. We then address the predictive capability of the solution to this partial differential equation when used in the analogy through first-of-its-kind numerical calculations when an experimentally verified model of the turbulence source structure is used together with Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes solutions for the jet mean flow. Our noise predictions show a reasonable level of accuracy in the peak noise direction at Ma = 0.9, for Strouhal numbers up to about 0.6, and at Ma = 0.5 using modified source coefficients. Possible reasons for this are discussed. Moreover, the prediction range can be extended beyond unity Strouhal number by using an approximate composite asymptotic formula for the vector Green's function that reduces to the locally parallel flow limit at high frequencies. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Frontiers of aeroacoustics research: theory, computation and experiment’.

A parallel shear flow representation of a jet is a standard way to solve for the wave propagation terms in jet noise modeling using the acoustic analogy. In this paper we show by introducing a new primary Green's function variable, proportional to the convective derivative of the pressure-like Green's function, the wave propagation equations reduce to an exact conservation form that does not include any derivatives of the mean flow. We analyze this Green's function variable numerically and show its utility when the mean flow is defined by a CFD solution and known only at a discrete set of points.

The application of Lighthill's acoustic analogy to the generation of sound by rotating surfaces with supersonic speeds results in radiation integrals in which the stationary points of the phase function – that describes the sapce-time distance between each source point and a fixed observation point – have variable positions and coalesce at a caustic in the space of source points. Here, the leading term in the asymptotic expansion of the corresponding Green's function at this caustic is calculated, both in the time and the frequency domains, and it is shown that the radiation generated by volume sources, which are steady in the uniformly rotating blade-fixed frame, has an amplitude that does not obey the spherical spreading law, i.e. does not fall off like RP–1 with the radial distance RP away from the source. Within a finite solid angle, depending on the extent of the source distribution, the amplitude of this newly identified sound decays like RP–½, so that it is stronger in the far field than any previously studied element. That this is not incompatible with the conservation of energy is because the emission time intervals associated with the volume elements of the source distribution which contribute towards the non-spherically decaying component of the radiation are by a large (RP-dependent) factor greater than the time intervals during which the signals generated by these elements are received. The contributing source elements are those whose positions at the retarded time coincide witht the locus of singularities of the Green's function, i.e. with the one-dimensional locus of points, fixed in the rotating frame, which approach the observer with the wave speed and zero acceleration along the radiation direction. Because the signals received at two neighbouring instants in time arise from distinct, coherently radiating filamentary parts of the source which have both different extents and different strengths, the resulting overall waveform in the far zone consists of the superposition of a (continuous) set of narrow subpulses with uneven amplitudes. These subpulses are narrower the larger the distance from the source.The differences between the new results and those of the earlier works in the literature are shown to arise from the error terms in the far-field and high-frequency approximations, approximations that are inappropriate for volume sources moving supersonically.
