본 연구에서는 기존의 RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes) 방정식을 이용하는 복합 CAA(Computational AeroAcoustics) 방법에 광대역 소음원 생성을 위한 FRPM(Fast Random Particle Mesh) 기법을 적용하여 원심팬 광대역 소음 예측을 수행하였다. 먼저, RANS 방정식을 이용하여 원심팬 주위의 유동장을 예측하여 주요한 소음원 영역을 추론하고, 추론된 소음원 영역에 FRPM 기법을 적용하여 통계적 특성을 만족하는 난류를 재생하였다. RANS 방정식으로부터 해석된 유동장과 FRPM 기법으로부터 재생된 유동장을 이용하여 합성한 유동장에 음향상사법(Acoustic Analogy)을 적용하여 원심팬의 소음원을 생성하였다. 생성된 원심팬의 소음원을 경계요소법(Boundary Element Method)으로 구현된 선형전파모델에 적용하여 원심팬의 광대역 소음을 예측하였다. 원심팬에 대한 소음 측정값과의 비교를 통하여 제안된 기법이 원심팬의 순음 소음 및 광대역 소음 예측에 효과적임을 확인하였다.

유동광대역소음을 효율적으로 예측하기 위하여 통계적으로 난류를 재생하는 방법에 대한 많은 연구들이 최근에 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도, FRPM(Fast Random Particle Mesh) 기법은 RANS(Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식 해석을 통해 도출된 정상상태 유동장의 난류 운동에너지와 소산 값을 이용하여 특정한 통계적 특성을 가지는 난류를 재생하는 기법으로서 유동광대역소음 문제 등에 성공적인 적용 예에 대해서 보고되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 FRPM 방법은 축류팬과 같이 축 대칭 특성을 갖는 기계의 경우 정상상태의 유동장을 기초로 광대역소음을 예측하는 문제에는 적용할 수 있으나, 원심팬과 같이 볼루트 영역으로 인하여 축 대칭이 성립되지 않는 기계류의 유동광대역소음에는 적용할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 FRPM 기법을 확장하여, 원심팬에서 발생하는 광대역소음을 효율적으로 예측하기 위하여 비정상 RANS 방정식의 수치해와 연계하여 광대역소음원으로 고려되는 난류를 특정한 통계적 특성을 가지도록 재생할 수 있는 U-FRPM(Unsteady-FRPM) 기법을 제안하였다. 먼저 전산유체역학을 사용하여 RANS 방정식을 해석함으로써, 원심팬 주위의 비정상상태 유동장 정보를 도출하고, 음향상사법(Acoustic Analogy)을 기초로 도출된 유동소음원을 U-FRPM을 이용하여 모델링하였다. 모델링된 소음원은 경계요소법을 통해 구현되는 선형음향전파모델과 연계하여 수음점에서 광대역소음을 예측하는데 이용되었다. 예측된 결과와 실험결과의 비교를 통해 본 논문에서 제시한 방법의 유효성을 확인하였다.

The broadband noise generated aerodynamically from a two-bladed axial flow fan has been measured and compared to the result of a self-noise prediction method. The prediction scheme is based on the experimental data set acquired from a series of aerodynamic and acoustic tests of two and three-dimensional airfoil blade sections. For low blade loading case the comparison showed a reasonably good agreement, but as the loading becomes larger the empirical formula overpredict the sound pressure level at high frequency range. This is probably due to the use of stationary wing data for the prediction of rotating blade case, which will be quite different in their vortex strength at the blade tip.

Fan noise prediction method is presented for air conditioning and/or cooling system applications where fan acts as an internal equipment having very complicated flow interaction with other various system components. The internal flow paths and distribution in the fan-applied systems such as computer or air conditioner are analyzed by using the FNM(Flow Network Modeling) with the flow resistances for flow elements of the system. Based on the fan operation point predicted from the FNM analysis results, the present fan noise model predicts overall sound power, pressure levels and spectrum. The predictions of the flow distribution, the fan operation and the noise level in electronic system by the present method are well agreed with 3-D CFD and actual noise test results.

Axial fans are widely used for automotive engine cooling device due to their ability to produce high flow rate to keep engine cool. At the same time, the noise generated by these fans causes one of the most serious problems. Especially, engine cooling fan noise in idle condition of a car is noticeable. Therefore, the high efficient and low-noise fan is seriously needed. When a new fan system is designed, system resistance and non-uniform inflow are the key factors to get the high performance and low noise fan system. In this study, experimental study on the fan and system was carried out and brought a successful result of performance and noise from a designed fan. And through the modification of the fan system, the fan produced more flow rate and became less noisy.

This paper proposes a new computational aeroacoustics method for an axial fan analysis. The major aeroacoustic noise source of an outdoor air-conditioner is the axial fan. It was revealed that the dominant noise source is the aerodynamic interactions between the rotating blade and stationary orifice. Many researches were focused on the fan only case. However, it does not fit to a real outdoor unit of air-conditioner. Especially, the inlet part of the axial fan of real system case is complex and not uniform. So, in order to identify the dominant noise source of axial fan, full outdoor unit analysis is important. Transient CFD analysis of full system was performed by commercial CFD code - SC/Tetra. Dominant noise source of the system was calculated by commercial CFN code - FlowNoise. The results show that not only BPF peaks but also broadband noise are similar to the measured data.
