The use of porous materials is one of several approaches to passively control or minimize the generation of flow noise. In order to investigate the possible reduction of noise from struts and other protruding parts (for example components of the landing gear or pantographs), acoustic measurements were taken in a small aeroacoustic wind tunnel on a set of circular cylinders with a soft porous cover. The aim of this study was to identify those materials that result in the best noise reduction, which refers to both tonal noise and broadband noise. The porous covers were characterized by their air flow resistivity, a parameter describing the permeability of an open-porous material. The results show that materials with low air flow resistivities lead to a noticeable flow noise reduction. Thereby, the main effect of the porous cylinder covers is that the spectral peak of the aeolian tone due to vortex shedding appears much narrower, but is not suppressed completely. Based on the measurement results, a basic model for the estimation of the total peak level of the aeolian tone was derived. In addition to the minimization of the vortex shedding noise, a reduction of broadband noise can be observed, especially at higher Reynolds numbers. The noise reduction increases with decreasing air flow resistivity of the porous covers, which means that materials that are highly permeable to air result in the best noise reduction.
We present a strategy for the recovery of a sparse solution of a common problem in acoustic engineering, which is the reconstruction of sound source levels and locations applying microphone array measurements. The considered task bears similarities to the basis pursuit formalism but also relies on additional model assumptions that are challenging from a mathematical point of view. Our approach reformulates the original task as a convex optimisation model. The sought solution shall be a matrix with a certain desired structure. We enforce this structure through additional constraints. By combining popular splitting algorithms and matrix differential theory in a novel framework we obtain a numerically efficient strategy. Besides a thorough theoretical consideration we also provide an experimental setup that certifies the usability of our strategy. Finally, we also address practical issues, such as the handling of inaccuracies in the measurement and corruption of the given data. We provide a post processing step that is capable of yielding an almost perfect solution in such circumstances.
An efficiency improvement for the implementation of a semi-analytical model of plate silencers in ducts is presented in this work. It is shown that a high approximation quality can be maintained even if the computation effort is reduced significantly. Thus, preliminary designs of plate silencers for specific purposes can be conducted with little effort. In addition, the accelerated implementation is utilized to perform an extensive parameter variation in order to find a best case configuration of silen properties and corresponding design rules. The results of these studies show that a tuning of plate and geometry parameters allow for substantial increases in a silencer's attenuation performance.
This paper is concerned with the influence of camber on the noise of a wall-mounted finite airfoil with natural boundary layer transition. Tonal noise measurements taken in an aeroacoustic wind tunnel are presented for airfoils with aspect ratio of 2, NACAxx12 profile and camber between 0 and 6% at 40% chord. The results show camber is an important parameter that determines the operating conditions for which acoustic tone generation occurs and the number and intensity of the tones produced. Airfoils with 0%–2% camber have an acoustic signature that is dominated by a high amplitude primary tone, whereas the spectra of airfoils with higher camber of 4%–6% feature a more pronounced side tone structure. Tonal noise production does not collapse with lift coefficient, demonstrating that the local flow conditions influence the noise source. Tonal noise production is explained in terms of changes to mean flow topology, namely the location of flow separation, which is linked to tonal noise generation. Scaling of airfoil tonal noise is found to vary with angle of attack and pressure gradient. Empirical scaling laws for the primary tone frequency dependence on velocity are also derived for the cambered airfoils.
Noise prediction requires the resolution of relevant acoustic sources on all scales of a turbulent flow. High-resolution direct numerical and large-eddy simulation would be ideal but both are usually too costly despite developments in high performance computing. Lower-order modeling approaches are therefore of general interest. A crucial but standing problem for accurate predictive modeling is the estimation of missing noise from the modeled scales. In this paper we address this problem by presenting a novel lower-order framework that couples the one-dimensional turbulence model to the Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings approach for prediction of the far-field noise of a subsonic turbulent round jet.

Stahlbleche sind auf Grund ihrer einfachen Fertigung und vielfältigen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten unentbehrlich in Bereichen wie dem Maschinen- und Fahrzeugbau oder der Architektur. Durch das Einbringen von Strukturen kann die Steifigkeit von Stahlplatten erhöht werden. So kann bei einem geringeren Materialeinsatz gleichbleibenden statischen Ansprüchen genügt werden. Eine derartige Umformung führt jedoch auch zu einem veränderten akustischen Verhalten von strukturierten Blechen gegenüber glatten Blechen. Im Rahmen einer Studie an der BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg zum akustischen Verhalten hexagonal wabenstrukturierter Stahlbleche wurde das Abstrahlverhalten dieser Bleche untersucht. Dazu wurden im Fensterprüfstand der TU Berlin experimentell die abgestrahlte Schallleistung sowie die Schwingschnelle von mit einem Shaker angeregten Blechen ermittelt. Aus den so gewonnenen Daten wurde das Abstrahlmaß berechnet. Der Beitrag zeigt das Verfahren und veranschaulicht die Ergebnisse vergleichend für glatte und hexagonal strukturierte Bleche. Dabei wird im Besonderen auf den Einfluss der Strukturierung auf das Abstrahlmaß der Stahlbleche eingegangen.
Phased microphone arrays have become a well-established tool for performing aeroacoustic measurements in wind tunnels (both open-jet and closed-section), flying aircraft, and engine test beds. This paper provides a review of the most well-known and state-of-the-art acoustic imaging methods and recommendations on when to use them. Several exemplary results showing the performance of most methods in aeroacoustic applications are included. This manuscript provides a general introduction to aeroacoustic measurements for non-experienced microphone-array users as well as a broad overview for general aeroacoustic experts.
This paper presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation on a novel liner concept for enhanced low-frequency and broadband acoustic attenuation. In particular, two different realizations, derived from conventional Helmholtz resonators (HR) and plate resonators (PR) are investigated, which both deploy flexible materials with material inherent damping. In this context, a comprehensive experimental investigation was carried out focusing the identification and evaluation of various geometric parameters and material properties on the acoustics dissipation and related properties of various materials in a simplified setup of a single Helmholtz resonator with flexible walls (FHR concept). Furthermore, a parameter study based on analytical models was performed for both liner concepts, taking into account material as well as geometric parameters and their effects on transmission loss. In addition, design concepts that enable cylindrical or otherwise curved liner structures and the corresponding manufacturing technologies are presented, while considering essential structural features such as drainage. With respect to the potential application in jet engines, a structural–mechanical analysis considering the relevant load cases to compare and discuss the mechanical performance of a classical HR and the FHR concept liner is presented. Finally, both concepts are evaluated and possible challenges and potentials for further implementation are described.
