Abstract

In this paper, the acoustic pressure of a helicopter rotor in hovering and low speed descent flight is predicted and compared with experimental data. Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings equation is used to predict the acoustic pressure. Two different wind tunnel test data are used to validate the predicted results. Boeing 360 model rotor test results are used for the low-frequency noise in hover, and HART II test results are employed for the mid-frequency noise, especially BVI noise, in low speed descent flight. A simple free-wake model as well as the state-of-the-art CFD/CSD coupling method are adopted to perform the analysis. Numerical results show good agreement against the measured data for both low-frequency and mid-frequency harmonic noise signal. The noise carpet results predicted using the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) shows also reasonable correlation with the measured data.

본 연구에서는 정지 비행과 저속 하강 비행하는 회전익기 로터에 대한 소음을 예측하고 실험값과 비교하여 검증하였다. Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings 방정식을 이용한 소음압 예측 프로그램을 개발하였다. 해석 결과의 검증을 위해서 2가지 풍동 시험 결과를 이용하였다. Boeing 360 모델 로터를 이용하여 정지 비행 조건에서의 저차 주파수 대역의 소음압을 검증하였고, HART II 로터를 이용하여 저속 하강 비행 조건의 중간 주파수 대역의 BVI 소음을 검증하였다. 하중 소음을 예측하기 위해서 정지비행 조건에서는 자유후류기법을 통한 공력계수를 이용하였고, 저속 하강 비행 조건에서는 CFD/CSD 연계해석 결과를 이용하였다. 소음해석 결과 저차 주파수 대역의 소음압과 중간 주파수 대역의 BVI 소음압을 비교적 잘 예측하는 것을 확인하였다. BVI 소음압은 FFT 해석을 통하여 소음 방사 지도를 그려 실험결과와 비교하였다. 비교 결과 시험결과와 비교적 유사하게 예측하는 것을 확인하였다.
