Aeolian tone generation from a two dimensional circular cylinder is numerically investigated via direct numerical simulation and hydrodynamic-acoustic splitting method. All governing equation are spatially discretized with the sixth-order compact scheme and fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to avoid excessive numerical dissipations and dispersions of acoustic quantities. Comparisons of two results show that the previous splitting method can not accurately predict the aeroacoustic noise of wall bounded shear flow. In this study, a perturbation viscous term and a new energy equation have been developed. This modified splitting method accurately predicts aeroacoustic noise from wall-bounded shear flow. The present results agree very well with the direct numerical simulation solution.

Acoustic pressure field around the cross-flow fan is predicted by a hydrodynamic-acoustic splitting method. Unsteady flow field is obtained by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using an unstructured finite-volume method on the triangular meshes, while the acoustic waves generated inside the cross-flow fan are predicted by solving the perturbed compressible equations(PCE) with a 6th-order compact finite difference method. Computational results show that the acoustic waves of BPF tone are generated by interactions of the blades wakes with the stabilizer, which then are reflected from the rear-guider and mainly propagate towards the fan inlet. Also, a directivity of BPF noise predicted by the PCE is noticeably different from that of the FW-H equations, in which a fan casing effect cannot be included.

The supply of inverter-type air conditioners for cooling in summer and heating in winter is increasing. In addition, since the operating speed of the compressor has been continuously increased for higher efficiency and higher performance, the flow speed of the refrigerant has also increased. As a result, it results in the increase of the relative contribution of flow-born noise to total noise generated from outdoor unit, and this highlights the importance of designing for the noise reduction to addressing flow-borne noise and requires necessary to analyze noise generation mechanisms by flow borne noise. Therefore, in this paper, the noise generation mechanisms by flow borne noise from air conditioner outdoor unit was numerically investigated. The wall pressure field was predicted using Large Eddy Simulation(LES) for the refrigerant flow inside the pipe, and the vibration and radiated noise were predicted using structure and acoustic coupled scheme based Finite Element Method (FEM). In this step, the compressible/in-compressible pressure field were separated using Wavenumber-Frequency Analysis(WFA) for inner pipe wall, and this results were used in analyzing the noise source due to refrigerant flow.

Recently, the operating speed of pressure devices is increased for high performance. It lead to the increase of flow rate. Consequently, the results in the high relative contribution of flow borne noise to the noise from pipe. Analyzing the characteristics of flow-borne noise is essential for evaluating noise performance during the design stage of the piping system. Therefore, in this paper, the noise generation mechanism and transfer characteristic was numerically investigated. The wall pressure induced by the fluid moving through the orifice was predicted using the compressible Large Eddy Simulation (LES). The Wavenumber-Frequency Analysis (WFA) was employed to decompose the wall pressure into incompressible and compressible component, which are to cause Fluid Induced Vibration (FIV) and Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV). The propagation and contribution characteristics were analyzed using the separated incompressible and compressible wall pressure components. Additionally, the correlation between these pressure components and the internal flow within the piping was investigated through flow field analysis, which elucidated the mechanisms and propagation characteristics of flow-induced noise. From these results, it was confirmed that the contribution of the incompressible wall pressure component was high near the noise source and that the contribution of the compressible wall pressure component increased as it propagated long distances upstream and downstream direction of the noise source.

A pressure relief valve is generally used to prevent piping systems from being broken due to high pressure gas flows. However, the sudden pressure drop caused by the pressure relief valve produces high acoustic energy which propagates in the form of compressible acoustic waves in the pipe and sometimes causes severe vibration of the pipe structure, thereby resulting in its failure. In this study, internal aerodynamic noise due to valve flow is estimated for a simple contraction-expansion pipe by combining the LES (Large-Eddy Simulation) technique with the wavenumber-frequency analysis, which allows the decomposition of fluctuating pressure into incompressible hydrodynamic pressure and compressible acoustic pressure. In order to increase the convergence, the steady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are numerically solved. And then, for the unsteady flow analysis with high accuracy, the unsteady LES is performed with the steady result as the initial value. The wavenumber-frequency analysis is finally performed using the unsteady flow simulation results. The wavenumber-frequency analysis is shown to separate the compressible pressure fluctuation in the flow field from the incompressible one. This result can provide the accurate information for the source causing so-called acoustic-induced-vibration of a piping system.

The turbulence noise generated from blunt trailing-edge is numerically predicted by using the hydrodynamic/acoustic splitting method at the Reynolds number based on thickness of flat plate, $Re_h=1000$, and the freestream Mach number $M_o=0.2$. The turbulent flow field is simulated by incompressible large-eddy simulation and the acoustic field is predicted efficiently with the linearized perturbed compressible equations (LPCE) recently proposed by the authors. The turbulent flow characteristics are validated with the results of the previous experimental study and direct numerical simulation. The acoustic properties predicted from LPCE are compared with the solutions of analytical formulations.

The noise sources of a tip-jet driven rotor can be separated by rotor blade noise and jet noise. The rotor blade noise consists of thickness noise, loading noise, nonlinear quadrupole noise, and jet noise is divided into nozzle momentum noise and jet radiation noise. The flow analysis for the prediction of rotor blade noise is performed by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, and the noise source of the rotor blade noise is identified by simultaneously applying the permeable and impermeable surface based FW-H (Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings) acoustic analogy. The nozzle momentum noise is obtained by permeable surface FW-H, and jet radiation noise is predicted by using empirical method for the fixed-wing jet. Both of jet noises use nozzle exit condition for noise analysis. The accuracy of the technique is verified based on the noise measurements of the tip-jet driven rotor, and the unique noise characteristics of the tip-jet driven rotor is confirmed by spectrum analysis.
