Abstract

In this study, aeroacoustic characteristics of combined fan are investigated and noise was reduced by applying Serrated Trailing Edge which is known as the method to reduce fan noises. Unsteady CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis was carried out using Lattice Boltzmann Method(LBM) to figure out the combined fan's aeroacoustics and experimental results was used to verify simulation results. Results show that different BPFs are generated at the each inner fan and outer fan on the different frequency while Blade Passing Frequency(BPF) of general fans is constant on the entire frequency range. Boundary vortex and vortex shedding are suppressed or dispersed by applying the Serrated Trailing Edge to the inner fan. Furthermore, broadband noise and fan's torque are reduced.

본 연구에서는 이중구조팬의 소음특성을 알아보고 소음저감 방법으로 알려진 톱니형 뒷전(Serrated Trailing Egde)을 적용하여 이중구조팬의 소음을 저감시켰다. 해석에는 Lattice Boltzmann Method(LBM)를 이용한 비정상 전산해석을 수행하였으며 해석의 타당성을 평가하기 위하여 시험을 실시하였다. 이중구조팬은 일반적인 팬처럼 단일의 Blade Passing Frequency(BPF)를 갖는 것이 아니라 내부팬과 외부팬 각각의 BPF가 서로 다른 음역대에서 나타나는 것을 확인 하였다. 톱니형 뒷전을 내부팬에 적용하여 경계층에서의 구속와류와 뒷전에서의 와류흘림이 억제 또는 분산되고 광역소음뿐만 아니라 팬의 토크도 저감되었다.
