In this study, an aero-acoustic analysis around pantograph of a high speed train is performed. Computational technique and grid system is validated with wind tunnel test result and unsteady acoustic pressure data are used for analyzing noise level of each part of pantograph. FLUENT is used for flow analysis and LES(Large Eddy Simulation) is applied for analyzing turbulent flow. For acoustic analysis, Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings(FW-H) acoustics model is used and it bring the aero-acoustic characteristic of pantograph. As the result, contact strip, knee, substructure of pantograph is confirmed as a main source of aero-acoustic noise and it is dealt in various frequencies. The result is expected to help building improved grid system.

The helicopter development technology is improved by the increasing of computing power and advanced test facilities. The increasing efficiency of fuel consuming by the developing of improved lift-to-drag rotor system is the major issue, the noise reduction for ecology(civil area) and increase of survivability to reduce noise detection(battlefield) also are important. This investigation shows the helicopter external noise flight test methods, conventional military helicopter's(UH-60) experimental results and the numerical modeling method for aero-acoustic of rotor blade and the result of CAA(Computational Aero-Acoustic) for main rotor blade.

An aero-acoustic performance analysis method of regenerative blower is developed as one of the FANDAS codes. The aerodynamic performance of regenerative blower is predicted by using momentum exchange theory coupled with pressure loss and leakage flow models. Based on the performance prediction results, the noise level and spectrum of regenerative blower are predicted by discrete frequency and broadband noise models. The combination of the performance and the noise prediction methods gives aero-acoustic performance map and noise spectrum analysis results, which are well-agreed with the actual measurement results within a few percent relative error.

Acoustic pressure field around the centrifugal fan is predicted by a aero-acoustic splitting method. Unsteady flow field is obtained by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using commercial code, while the acoustic waves generated inside the centrifugal fan and shroud are predicted by solving the far field acoustics analysis. Computational results show that the acoustic waves of BPF tone are generated by interactions of the blades with the shroud. Acoustic results is validated by experimental results This paper describes the influence of geometric parameters on the noise generation from the section of blades and shroud. One of the effective ways to reduce BPF noise is optimization method using Genetic Algorithm, which effectively minimize eccentricity, is suggested. New improving design was developed by optimization method.

As a basic study of the aero-acoustic noise, Large eddy simulations were carried out for a fixed circular cylinder at Renolds number (Re=$9.0\times10^4$) using commercial CFD code, FLUENT. The subgrid-scale turbulent viscosity was modeled by Smagorinsky-Lilly model adapted to structured meshes. The results of analysis showed that time-averaged value, $\bar{C}_D$ is approximately 1.47 which is considerably adjacent with the experimentally measured value of 1.32 in comparison to the values performed by previous researchers. It is observed that there are the very small acoustic pressure fluctuation with the same frequency of the Karman vortex street.

The inter-coach spacing is one of the most important sources of the aero-acoustic noise of a high-speed train. When fluid at high speed flows over an open cavity, such as the inter-coach spacing, large acoustic pressure fields inside the cavity are produced by fluid/structure interactions at the downstream end of the cavity. In this study experiments were performed to investigate the characteristics the aero-acoustic noise generation from the inter-coach spacing of a high-speed train. Results of the measurement confirmed that the noise generated from the gap between mud-flaps are strongly dependent on the size of the gap.

A 3D FEM (Finite Element Method) based Helmholtz solver has been commonly used to characterize fundamental acoustic behavior and investigate dynamic instability features in many combustion systems. In this approach, a geometrical simplification of the target system has been generally made in order to reduce computational time and cost because a real combustor and fuel nozzle have a very complicated flow passage. The feasibility of these simplifications is quantitatively investigated in a small aero gas turbine nozzle in term of acoustic characteristics. It is found that the simplification in a nozzle geometry during the 3D FEM analysis process has no great influence on the acoustic modeling results, while the calculation complexity can be improved for a similar modeling accuracy.

Numerical investigation on radiation characteristics of discrete frequency noise from asymmetry aero-intakes was carried out. The near-field predictions were obtained by solving the linearized Euler equations with computational aeroacoustic techniques consisting of high order finite difference scheme, non-reflecting boundary conditions, oversetgrid techniques. For the prediction of far-field directivity pattern, the Kirchhoff integral method was applied. By comparing the directivities of noise radiating from the scarf and the scoop aero-intakes with that from an axisymmetric aero-intake, it is shown that noise reduction at downward peak radiation angle can be achieved. The scattering of the radiating acoustic wave by background mean flow shifts the peak lobe radiation angle toward ground and increases the amplitude of the acoustic pressure compared with the cases without mean flow effect.
