In most industry fields concerning external flow noise problems, the hybrid computational aeroacoustic techniques based on the FW-H (Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings) equation are widely used for its numerical efficiency. However, when the surface integral form of FW-H equation is used without volume quadrupole sources, it is known to generate significant non-physical noise in a certain case. Especially, in the case of a flow in which the tip vortex cavitation is formed in the distant downstream direction such as flow driven by an underwater propeller, the accuracy in noise prediction becomes poor unless it is not properly modelled. Therefore, in this study, the nonphysical acoustic waves caused by the surface integral form of FW-H equation is reduced by adding the quadrupole correction term. First, to verify the accuracy of the in-house code of FW-H equation, the noise by an axial fan used in the outdoor unit of air conditioner was calculated and compared with the results of ANSYS Fluent. In order to verify the effects of the quadrupole correction term, the noise prediction for isentropic vortex convection is performed and it is confirmed that the error is reduced by the quadrupole correction term. Finally, the noise prediction is performed for the flow field generated by the Clark-Y hydrofoil in underwater. It is confirmed that the error caused by the cavitation passing through the integral surface can be reduced by the quadrupole correction term.

4000MW급 유연탄발전소는 기존 500MW급 4기의 발전설비 운영조건에서 지역공동체는 긍정적이었으나, 500MW급의 증설 호기가 늘어나면서 지역 공동체는 발전소 증설과 관련하여 기존 동쪽 부지 경계지역의 소음환경에 대하여 부정적인 문제를 제기하였다. 2000MW급 증설이 진행되어온 4000MW급 발전소의 다양한 소음원에 의한 소음파워 증대와 증가방출 과도소음 에 대하여 고저가 다양한 주변지역에 미치는 영향음 평가하고자 3차원 모델링기법을 적용한다. 기존호기를 비롯한 전체의 발전소 전면부 소음원응 비교 시험결과 증가방출 소음 파워가 기존 설계의 변경 제작되어 기존호기에 비해 20~30dBA 높아져 동시 방출사 주변지역에 과도하게 영향을 미치는 상태였으며 500MW급 4기를 추가 증설에 따라 일상소음원에 의한 소음 영향도 증설전 대비 2~3dBA 증가된 것으로 평가되었다. 따라서 증설호기의 과도 소음원 제거 방안으로 대가 방출증가가 회수되도록 증설호기의 증가방출설비를 개선하였고, 증설에 의하여 증가된 소음 영향음 저감하고자 기존 경계지역에 미치는 소음원음 고려하여 방음벽음 설치한 결과 47 ~ 49dBA를 나타내고 인근 주거건물의 전면부 소음은 43dBA이었다.

To study the water-entry impact noise, on-board experiment using a small launcher firing various objects was performed in the Yellow Sea. As the launcher fires a cylindrical object from the ship vertically, generated noise is measured with a hydrophone on the starboard of Chung-hae, Marine surveyor. Three types of cylindrical objects, which have noses of flat-faced, conical, and hemisphere, were used during the experiment. The measured noise exhibits a time-dependency which can be divided into three phases: (1) initial impact phase, (2) open cavity flow phase, (3) cavity collapse and bubble oscillation phase. In most cases, the waveform of bubble oscillation phase is dominant rather than that of initial impact phase. Pinch-off time, where a cavity begins to collapse, occurs at 0.18 ~ 0.2 second and the average lasting time of bubble was 0.9 ~ 1.3 second. The energy of water-entry impact noise is focused in the frequency region lower than 100 Hz, and the generated noise is influenced by the nose shapes, object mass, and launching velocity. As a result, energy spectral density on the bubble frequency is higher in the order of flat-faced, conical, hemisphere nose, and the increase of initial energy raises the energy spectral density on the bubble frequency in the cylinder body of same shape. Finally, we compare the measurements with the simulated signals and spectrum based on the bubble explosion physics, and obtain satisfactory agreements between them.

The modes of oscillation and radiated acoustic fields of compressible flows over open cavities are investigated computationally. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved for two-dimensional cavities with laminar boundary layers upstream. The high-order and high-resolution numerical schemes are used for the evaluation of spatial derivatives and the time integration. Physically correct numerical boundary conditions are implemented to produce time-accurate solutions in the whole computation domain. The computational domain is large enough to directly resolve a portion of the radiated acoutic field. The results show a transition from a shear layer mode, for shorter cavities and lower Mach numbers, to a wake mode for longer cavities and higher Mach numbers. The shear layer mode is well characterized by Rossiter modes and these oscillations lead to intense upstream acoustic radiation dominated by a single frequency. The wake mode is characterized instead by a large-scale vortex shedding. Acoustic radiation is more intense, with multiple frequencies present.

Investigations into cavity flows have been conducted for noise and vibration problems that arise in cavity systems. Cavity systems have been applied in engineering devices and have undergone rapid development in the aerospace industry. Meanwhile, to the author's best knowledge, the cavity on a curved wall has been seldom studied. The present work is conducted to study the flow physics of a cavity mounted on a curved wall. Numerical analysis is performed to investigate the cavity flow. Two variables of sub- and supersonic cavity flows were considered: the radius of curvature of the curved wall (L/R) and the inlet Mach number. The results show that the uniform vortex generated by the cavity flow on the curved wall stabilize the pressure fluctuation as time passes. As the inlet Mach number increases, the pressure fluctuation amplitude increases. The results obtained from the curved wall are compared with those from a straight wall using Rossiter's formula. The Strouhal number of the curved wall is lower than that of the straight wall. Lower Strouhal numbers have been obtained in the present computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results than in the theoretical results using Rossiter's formula.

With the increase in the speed of ships and the size of ocean structures, the importance of flow noise has become increasingly critical in meeting regulatory standards. However, unlike active investigations in aeroacoustics fields for airplanes and trains, which are based on acoustic analogy methods for tonal and broadband frequency noise, only the discrete blade passing frequency noise from propellers is considered in marine fields. In this study, prediction methods for broadband noise in marine propellers and underwater appendages are investigated using FW-H Formulation1B, which can consider the mechanism of primary noise generation of trailing edge noise. The original FW-H Formulation 1B is based on the pressure correlation function tolackitsgeneralityandaccuracy. To overcome these limitations, wall-pressure spectrum models are adopted to improve the generality in fluid mediums. The comparison of the experimental results obtained in air reveals that the proposed model exhibits a higher accuracy within 5 dB. Furthermore, the prediction procedures for broadband noise for hydrofoils are established, and the estimation of broadband noise is conducted based on the results of the computational fluid dynamics.

In cavity flow, the rectangular step generates so strong sound that many researchers have investigated method to suppress the nois during interaction between vortical flow and rectangular forward step. In this study the flow noise from the vortex motion in two-dimentional low Mach number flow past a forward step with various chamfering angle is calculated numerically. Inviscid incompressible discrete vortex model and matched asymptotic expansion(MAE) theory are applied to obtain the inner flow field and the outer noise field. Both source acoustic pressure and sound intensity are obtained with various chamfering height, chamfering angle and initial vortex position. The pressure amplitude is most suppressed when the chamfering angle is between $15^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circC}$ at the chamfering length of 30% of the step height.

Finite element method and Taguchi method were used to reduce the floor impact vibration of the reinforced concrete slab in the apartment buildings. At first, experimental results show that sound peak components to influence the rating of floor impact sound insulation were coincident with natural frequencies of the reinforced concrete slab, and there is a high linear relation between floor impact vibration and sound. The tables of orthogonal arrays were used for finite element analysis with 5 factors related to slab shape parameters and its results were analyzed by statistical method. The most effective factor to reduce the floor impact vibration was the length of living/kitchen room and the floor impact vibration was predicted by 30% reduction in the acceleration peak by the optimal design values of the factors.
