The process of the wind noise analysis around an OSRVM is developed and is verified by simulating unsteady flow field past a generic OSRVM mounted on the flat plate at the Reynolds number of $Re_D=5.2{\times}10^5$ based on the mirror diameter. The transient flow field past a generic OSRVM is simulated with various turbulence models, namely DES-SA, LES Constant SGS, and LES Dynamic SGS. The sound radiation is predicted using the Ffowcs- Williams and Hawkings analogy. For the present simulation, the 6.35million cells are generated. Time averaged pressure coefficients at 34 locations on the surface of the generic OSRVM are compared with the available experimental data. Also, 12 Sound Pressure Levels located on the surrounding mirror are compared with the available experimental data. Both of them show good agreements with experimental data.

비정상(unsteady) 압축성(compressible) 유동에 의한 공력음향(aeroacoustics)을 모사하여 공력소음원을 해석하기 위해서는 고차(high order)의 정확도와 높은 해상도(resolution)를 가지며, 상대적으로 계산시간을 많이 필요로 하지 않는 외재적(explicit) 유한차분법이 필수적으로 요구된다. 이것은 주어진 차분방식과 격자계로써 공간과 시간상에 존재하는 미소크기의 파동성분들을 충분히 구현하여야 만족할 만한 수치해를 얻을 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는, 그러한 유한차분법 중 최근에 관심의 대상이 되고있는 삼각(tridiagonal)또는 오각(pentadiagonal) 집적유한차분법(compact finite difference scheme)이 최대의 해상도를 갖도록 하는 수학적인 방법을 개발하고, 이 방법으로써 새롭게 집적유한차분법을 최적화하였다. 개발된 최적화 방법은, 푸리에 해석법(Fourier analysis)을 통하여 파동수(wavenumber) 영역에서 수학적으로 계산된 위상오차(phase error)를 최소화하는 것이며, 이러한 개념과 방법은 본 연구에서 처음으로 집적유한차분법에 적용되었다. 여러가지 절단정확도(truncation order)에 대해서 최적화 된 집적유한차분법들이 실제 공간과 시간상에서 보여주는 정확도와 오차특성을 알아보기 위하여, 이 방법들을 1차원 선형파동방정식에 적용하였고, 이 결과를 통하여 가장 정확하고 효과적인 절단정확도의 집적유한차분법을 선별하였다. 특히, 오각(pentadiagonal)법에 비해 더욱 효율적인 6차 삼각(tridiagonal)법을 1차원 Euler방정식에 적용하여, 비선형 파동에 대한 모사를 수행할 수 있었다.

In this study, scale-down design of full-scale Korean Utility Helicopter (KUH) main rotor blade has been investigated. The scaled model system were designed for the measurement of aerodynamic performance, tip vortex and noise source. For the purpose of considering the same aerodynamic loads, the Mach-scale method has been applied. The Mach-scaled model has the same tip Mach number, and it also has the same normalized frequencies. That is, the Mach-scaled model is analogous to full-scale model in the view point of aerodynamics and structural dynamics. Aerodynamic scale-down process could be completed just by adjusting scaling dimensions and increasing rotating speed. In the field of structural dynamics, design process could be finished by confirming the rotating frequencies of the designed blade with the stiffness and inertial properties distributions produced by sectional design. In this study, small-scaled blade sectional design were performed by applying domestic composite prepregs and structural dynamic characteristics of designed model has been investigated.

In this study, the flow and noise performances of high-speed fan motor unit for cordless vacuum cleaner is improved by optimizing the impeller which drives the suction air through flow passage of the cordless vacuum cleaner. Firstly, the unsteady incompressible Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are solved to investigate the flow through the fan motor unit using the computational fluid dynamics techniques. Based on flow field results, the Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) integral equation is used to predict flow noise radiated from the impeller. Predicted results are compared to the measured ones, which confirms the validity of the numerical method used. It is found that the strong vortex is formed around the mid-chord region of the main blades where the blade curvature change rapidly. Given that vortex acts as a loss for flow and a noise source for noise, impeller blade is redesigned to suppress the identified vortex. The response surface method using two factors is employed to determine the optimum inlet and outlet sweep angles for maximum flow rate and minimum noise. Further analysis of finally selected design confirms the improved flow and noise performance.

In this paper, we identify the noise source and the path of a chiller. This chiller is newly developed for R-l34a refrigerant and 250 RT cooling capacity. The measured overall SPL of the developed turbo-chiller is about 100 dBA. Due to the high rotating speed of the centrifugal impeller, the nun noise source of the chiller is the blade passing frequency and its higher harmonics of the centrifugal impeller. This generated soundpropagates through the duct, and then transmits and radiates to the outer field. From the experiment, it is found that the high frequency noise is mostlytransmitted and radiated through the elbow duct, but the low frequency noise is transmitted and vadiated through the condenser wall. Therefore applying the absorbing material is an effective way of reducing the high and low frequency noise simultaneously. Measurement results show that the application of the sound absorbing material to the elbow duct reduced the overall sound pressure level by 4 dB compared to the 9 dBA reduction for the case of full enclosure. In order to control the generated noise, a dissipativetype silencer is also designed and tested. The silencer reduced the radiated noise about 7.5 dBA.

In this paper, high-performance and low-noise centrifugal fan used to circulate cold air inside a household refrigerator is developed by reducing the vortex flow observed near the tip of fan hub. First, the performance of the existing centrifugal fan is investigated through the experiment using a fan tester and the characteristics of detailed flow field obtained from the CFD simulation are closely examined. The strong vortex flow is observed in the vicinity of the tip of fan hub. Based on this result, new design is devised to reduce this vortex flow. As a result, it is numerically and experimentaly found that the volume flow rate of the new fan increases and the radiated noise decreases in comparison with the existing fan at the same rotation speed.

The objective of the present study is to investigate the effects of various turbulence models on the aerodynamic noise of an air-conditioner (AC) indoor unit. The results from URANS (unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) simulations with the standard k-$\varepsilon$, k-$\omega$ shear stress transport (SST) and Spalart-Allmaras (S-A) turbulence models were analyzed and compared with the noise data from the experiments. The frequency spectra of the far-field acoustic pressure were computed using the Farrasat equation derived from the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) equation based on the acoustic analogy model. Two fixed fan casings and the rotating cross-flow fan were used as the source surfaces of the dipole noise in the Farrasat equation. The result with the standard k-$\epsilon$ model showed a much better agreement with the experimental data compared to the k-w SST and S-A models. The differences in the pressure spectra from the different turbulence models were discussed based on the instantaneous vorticity fields. It was found that the over-estimated power spectra with the k-w SST and S-A models are related to the emphasized small-scale vortices produced with these models.

Far field acoustic pressure from the evolution and interaction of three-dimensional vortex filament is calculated numerically. A vortex ring is a typical example of the three-dimensional vortex filament. An elliptic vortex ring emits a strong sound signal due to significant distortion and stretching of the vortec filament. The far field acoustic pressure is linearly dependent on the third time derivatives of the vortex positions. A numerical scheme of high resolution is employed to describe in detail the elliptic vortex ring motions which ar highly nonlinear. Descretized vortex filaments are interpolated by using a parametric blending function to remove a possible numerical instability. The distorted vortex filament, owing to the self-induced and the induced velocity from the other vortex segments, is redistributed at each time step. The accuracy and efficiency of the scheme are validated by comparisons with the analytic solution of circular vortex ring interaction.

벽면 근처에 가까이 위치하는 회전와류쌍을 음원으로 갖는 비정상 유동장에서 벽면이 음장에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 이차원 음장 수치해석을 시도하였다. 비압축성 유동장에 대한 비정상 수력정보를 기반으로 오일러식에서 교란 압축성 소음항을 도출하였다. 원거리 자유 경계면은 비반사 경계조건을 이용하였으며, 벽면에서는 벽면 효과를 음향장에 고려하였다. 자유흐름장에 놓인 와류쌍이 대칭인 나선팔을 갖는 반면에, 벽면이 있는 경우엔 음파가 전달되는 경로를 따라 방향성이 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 벽면이 존재하는 경우에 비정상 수력정보를 이용하여 근거리와 원거리 음장을 동시에 수행할 수 있음을 알아내었다.
