Aerogine noise leads to environment pollution largely when aerogine is tested. In this paper, the power spectrum analysis method of the aeroengine test noise was discussed, and the noise measurement and analysis experiments of a turbojet engine and a turbofan engine tests were carried out. The noise level, main noise resource, and noise characteristics of the two turbojet and turbofan engines were analyzed. Meanwhile, the indoor noise and far-field noise of the turbojet engine were both measured, the noise spread characteristics were analyzed and the noise reduction performance of the test bench was evaluated. The noise generated by the turbojet engine test had the discrete characteristic of high frequency. The higher frequencies when peak values occurred were the blade passage frequencies and the noises with lower frequencies were the broad band noises, especially the jet noise, and the maximum of the peak values occurred at the basic frequencies or harmonic frequencies of the compressor. Meanwhile, the noises generated by the turbofan engine, focused on the high frequencies and the peak values corresponded to the rotation noise of the fan blades. The experimental results were consistent with the theory basically, which indicated that the aeroengine operating status information could be identified by the noise power spectrum analysis. In addition to the aeroengine noise reduction research, the noise power spectrum analysis could also be used to diagnose the fault of the aeroengine structure and performance. On the other hand, the indoor and far-field noise measurement experimental results implied that the noise was suppressed from 136 dB to 85 dB and could provide the reference to the noise reduction design of the aeroengine test bench.

Model scale tests are conducted to assess the Noise/Performance trade for high speed jet noise reduction technologies. It is demonstrated that measuring the near field acoustic signature with a microphone array can be used to assess the far field noise using a procedure known as acoustic holography. The near field noise measurement is mathematically propagated producing an estimate of the noise level at the new location. Outward propagation produces an estimate of the far field noise. Propagation toward the jet axis produces the source distribution. Tests are conducted on convergent/divergent nozzles with three different area ratios, and several different chevron geometries. Noise is characterized by two independent processes: Shock cell noise radiating in the forward quadrant is produced when the nozzle is operated at non-ideally expanded conditions. Mach wave radiation propagates into the aft quadrant when the exhaust temperature is elevated. These results show good agreement with actual far field measurements from tests in the GE Cell 41 Acoustic Test Facility. Simultaneous performance measurement shows the change in thrust coefficient for different test conditions and configurations. Chevrons attached to the nozzle exit can reduce the noise by several dB at the expense of a minimal thrust loss.

The aerodynamic noise generated by a subsonic jet impinging on a flat plate is studied from measurements of near-field and surface-pressure fluctuations. The far-field noise measured at 90° to the jet axis is found to be generated by two different physical mechanisms. One mechanism is the impinging of the large coherent structures on the plate, and the other is associated with the initial instability of the shear layer. These two sources of noise radiate to the far field via different acoustical paths.

The main aim of this investigation is to analyze directional noise reduction resulting from asymmetric high momentum fluidic injection downstream of a Mach 0.9 nozzle. Jet noise has been identified as one of the primary obstacles to increasing commercial aviation capacity. Microjets in cross flow are known to enhance turbulent mixing in the shear layer due to the induced stream-wise vortices. This enhanced mixing can be used for reorganizing the spatial distribution of acoustic energy. Targeted reduction in the downward-emitted turbulent mixing noise can be achieved by strategically injecting high momentum fluid downstream of the jet exhaust. Detailed Large Eddy Simulations were performed on a hybrid block structured-unstructured mesh to generate the flow field which was then used for near field and far field noise computation. Aeroacoustic analogy based formulation was used for computing far-field noise estimation. Benchmark cases were validated with preexisting experimental data sets. Mean flow measurements suggest shorter jet core lengths due to the enhanced mixing resulting from fluidic injection. The induced asymmetry due to the fluidic injection gives rise to an asymmetric acoustic field leading to targeted directional noise reduction in the far field as measured by pressure probes.

Part I of this paper describes a methodology for assessing the far field jet noise from high speed exhaust nozzles using a microphone array in the near field of the exhaust plume. The near field noise measurement is mathematically propagated producing an estimate of the noise level at the new location. Outward propagation produces an estimate of the far field noise. Propagation toward the jet axis produces the source distribution. Part II described here provides a direct validation of this process using a generic CD nozzle in a facility where both the near field and the far field are measured simultaneously. Comparison of these data sets show good agreement over the typical operating range for this type of nozzle. The far field noise is characterized by two independent processes: Shock cell noise radiating in the forward quadrant is produced when the nozzle is operated at non-ideally expanded conditions. Mach wave radiation propagates into the aft quadrant when the exhaust temperature is elevated. Subsequent tests in an acoustically treated nozzle thrust stand demonstrate the value of the near field array allowing immediate feedback on the noise/performance tradeoff for high speed jet noise reduction technologies.

To satisfy McWiLL communication requirement in noisy environment, a far field noise suppression method based on double uni-direction microphone in McWiLL intercom was studied. The method arranges two uni-direction microphones rationally and uses analog noise cancelling processor to accomplish surrounding noise reduction in McWiLL intercom in noisy environment. To verify validity of the method, several contrast experiments using diagnostic rhyme test method were done. Experiments results show that the far field noise suppression method based on double uni-direction microphone is effective for surrounding noise reduction.

Abstract One known method to reduce vortex shedding from the tip of a blade is the use of end plates or winglets. Although the aerodynamic impact of such end plates has been investigated in the past, no studies exist on the effect of such end plates on the far-field noise. The aeroacoustic noise reduction of three different end-plate geometries is experimentally investigated. The end plates are applied to the free end of a wall-mounted symmetric NACA 0012 airfoil and a cambered NACA 4412 airfoil with an aspect ratio of 2 and natural boundary layer transition. Microphone array measurements are taken in the aeroacoustic open-jet wind tunnel at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg for chord-based Reynolds numbers between 75,000 and 225,000 and angles of attack from 0$$^\circ$$ ∘ to 30$$^\circ$$ ∘ . The obtained acoustic spectra show a broad frequency hump for the airfoil base configurations at higher angles of attack that is attributed to tip noise. Hot-wire measurements taken for one configuration show that the application of an end plate diffuses the vorticity at the tip. The aeroacoustic noise contribution of the tip can be reduced when the endplates are applied. This reduction is most effective for higher angles of attack, when the tip vortex is the dominant sound source. Graphic abstract
