In this paper, a hybrid method is presented to investigate the hydrodynamic noise induced by mechanical cavities with various shapes. With this method, the noise sources in the near wall turbulences or in the wake are computed by the large eddy simulation （LES） and the generation and propagation of the acoustic waves are solved by the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings （FW-H） acoustic analogy method with acoustic source terms extracted from the time-dependent solutions of the unsteady flow. The feasibility and reliability of the current method was verified by comparing with experimental data （Wang, 2009）. The 2D cavity models with different cross-section shapes and 3D cavity models with different cavity mouth shapes （rectangular and circular） are developed to study the influence of cavity shape on the hydrodynamic noise. By comparing the flow mechanisms, wall pressure fluctuations, near-field and far-field sound propagation distributions, it is found that the quadrangular cavity with equal depths of leading-edge and trailing-edge is preferred for its inducing lower hydrodynamic noise than the cylindrical cavity does.展开更多

Application of FW-H acoustic analogy without turbulent noise is the most popular method due to its calculation cost. In this paper, turbulent-induced noise is predicted using RANS turbulence model and permeable FW-H method. For simplicity, noise from 2D cylinder is examined using three different methods: direct method of RANS, FW-H method without turbulent noise and permeable FW-H method which can take into account of turbulent-induced noise. Turbulent noise was well predicted using permeable FW-H method with same computational cost of original FW-H method. Also, ability of permeable FW-H method to predict highly accurate turbulent-induced noise by applying adequate permeable surface is presented.

The vortical structures around the rod-airfoil are computed by the LES and captured by the vortex identification （Q）. The acoustic predictions are verified by the measurements. It is shown that the computed results by the two hybrid approa- ches （LES and FW-H, LES and Powell） are very similar. Both are shown to be satisfactory in the prediction of the noise generated by an unsteady flow. Subsequently, the numerical simulations of the wall pressure fluctuations and the flow-induced noise of a NACA0015 airfoil are made by the two hybrid approaches. At two angles of attack （ 0~ and 8~ ）, the wall pressure fluctuations of the NACA0015 airfoil are computed. The obtained power spectra of the wall pressure fluctuations are analyzed and compared with the measured data.

The radiated sound spectra are analyzed and compared with the experimental data. Comparisons show that both are robust, credible and satisfactory in the numerical prediction of the flow induced noise.
