Title: | Control of acoustic scattering of trailing edge flow by distributed compliance | Authors: | Arif, I Naseer, MR Leung, RCK Salamat, S |
Issue Date: | Oct-2023 | Source: | Physics of fluids, Oct. 2023, v. 35, no. 10, 106115 | Abstract: | In this paper, an approach for the reduction of trailing edge noise due to flow scattering from a semi-infinite splitter plate is proposed. It utilizes the fluid–structure interactions of well-designed multiple compliant elastic panels to suppress the flow instabilities within the boundary layers over the splitter plate to reduce overall trailing edge noise scattering. The approach is studied numerically using high-fidelity direct aeroacoustic simulation at low Reynolds numbers based on a panel length of 5 104. The noise reduction efficacy of the approach is analyzed by studying two different cases, and their underlying physical mechanisms are explored. First, the boundary layer over one side of the plate is subjected to a weak monochromatic acoustic excitation to produce laminar instabilities. Second, the boundary layer is subjected to a weak broadband excitation within the boundary layer. For each case, the panel system is uniquely designed with thorough consideration of the flow characteristics of the boundary layer instabilities of the problem. Comprehensive aeroacoustic analyses reveal that a significant sound power level reduction of 4.2 and 7.4dB can be achieved by designed configurations for both kinds of excitation without any drag penalty. Nonlinear fluid–structure interactions of carefully designed elastic panels result in a weak correlation between the near-field flow instabilities and far-field noise. The flow-induced panel structural resonance is proven to effectively absorb the energy of boundary layer instabilities and their scattering at the trailing edge. Key characteristics for the design of compliance systems under different flow conditions are discerned and discussed. | Publisher: | AIP Publishing LLC | Journal: | Physics of fluids | ISSN: | 1070-6631 | EISSN: | 1089-7666 | DOI: | 10.1063/5.0165765 | Rights: | © 2023 Author(s).
