The vacuum cleaner motor runs at very high speed for suction power. Specially, motor power is provided by the impeller being rotated at very high speed. The centrifugal fan consists of the impeller, the diffuser, and the circular casing. Due to the high rotating speed of the impeller and small gap distance between the impeller and the diffuser, the level of noise in the centrifugal fan is at BPF(Blade Passage Frequency) and its harmonic frequencies. In order to calculate the sound pressure of centrifugal fan, unsteady flow data are needed. The cause of noise is obtained by dividing the fluid noise by exhaust flow of fan and vibration noise by rotational vibration of vacuum cleaner fan motor. Until now, an accelerometer has been used to measure vibration. However, it can not measure vibration in some parts of brush and commutator because of motor construction and 3-D vibrating mode. This study was conducted to perform accurate analysis of vibration and aerodynamic sound for fan motor in a vacuum cleaner using a laser vibration analyzer. A silent fan motor can be designed using the data measured in this study.

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.

본 논문에서는 비코히어런트 방식의 시간분할 조만 동기추적루프에 속하는 타우진동루프의 최적 설계를 위한 대역통과필터의 대역폭에 대하여 고찰하였다. NRZ 데이터의 경우 이상적 대역통과 필터를 채용한 비코히어런트 TDL의 제곱손실 및 최소의 동기추적지터를 구하였다. 또한 이를 이용하여 최적의 3dB 대역통과필터 대역폭을 주어진 데이터율과 데이터 신호대잡음비에 대해 계산하였다. 결과로서 이상적 대역통과 필터의 경우 최적의 대역폭은 주어진 신호대잡음비에 따라 데이터율의 약 1-2배의 범위 내에 존재함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 사보니우스형 풍력터빈의 저소음 설계에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 선행연구를 통해 BPF 보다 높은 주파수를 기본주파수로 가지며 발생하는 하모닉 성분의 순음소음이 사보니우스형 풍력터빈의 주요한 소음임을 밝혔고, 이러한 하모닉 성분의 소음은 와류에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 선행연구결과를 바탕으로, 사보니우스형 풍력터빈의 저소음 설계를 위해 이탈되는 와류에 위상차를 유도할 수 있는 터빈 날개 끝단을 도입하였다.

This article shows the study on the arresting sound occurrence due to the interaction of the centrifugal Fan and bellmouth suction flow with bellmouth height as variable. It has accomplished to measure of inlet noise and also to analysis suction pressure distribution through experiment and also using CFD. The main cause of sound occurrence was judged with the effect due to static pressure change of bellmouth surface.

The aeroacoustic characteristics of a centrifugal fan for a vacuum cleaner and its noise reduction method are studied in this paper. The major noise source of a vacuum cleaner is the centrifugal fan. The impeller of the fan rotates at over 30000 rpm, and generates very high-level noise. It was revealed that the dominant noise source is the aerodynamic interaction between the rotating impeller and stationary diffuser. The directivity of acoustic pressure showed that most of the noise propagates backward direction of the fan-motor assembly. In order to reduce the high tonal sound generated from the aerodynamic interaction, unevenly pitched impeller and diffuser, and tapered impeller designs were proposed and experiments were performed. Uneven pitch design of the impeller changes the sound quality while the overall sound power level (SPL) and the performance remains similar. The effect of the tapered design of impeller was evaluated. The trailing edge of the tapered fan is inclined. This reduces the flow interaction between the rotating impeller and the stationary diffuser because of some phase shifts. The static efficiency of the new impeller design is slightly lower than the previous design. However, the overall SPL is reduced by about 4 dB(A). The SPL of the fundamental blade passing frequency (BPF) is reduced by about 6 dB (A) and the 2$\^$nd/ BPF is reduced about 20 dB (A). The vacuum cleaner with the tapered impeller design produces lower noise level than the previous one, and the strong tonal sound was dramatically reduced.

In this study an analysis of the flow characteristics in three types of turbo-fans for a vacuum cleaner was performed by using CFD. The characteristics of three models calculated for various rotating speed for flow rates are obtained and compared with measured data. The mixing plane approach is applied to compute the flow between impeller and diffuser. The results show that the model that is modified to reduce fan noise gives stable flow characteristics in operating range than the original model, with both models show similar performance characteristics at the range of high flow rate. Since in the modified model it takes much longer for an impeller blade to pass a diffuser blade than in the original model, and the peak pressure at BPF can be relieved, it is anticipated that the modified model give much lower noise level with similar performance than the original one, which remains to be verified by unsteady computation and measurements. The good agreement between the predictions and measurement results confirms the validity of this study.

Aerodynamic noise generated from wind turbines is predicted by it's classified source mechanisms using computational method. BPF noise according to the blade passing motion, is modelled on monopole and dipole sources. They are predicted by Farassat 1A equation. Airfoil self noise and turbulence ingestion noise are modelled upon quadrupole sources and are predicted by semi-empirical formulas composed on the groundwork of Brooks et al. and Lowson. Retarded time is considered, not only in low frequency noise prediction but also in turbulence ingestion noise and airfoil self noise prediction. Wind turbine noise emission of a 3MW wind turbine and a 600 kW wind turbine, standing for large and middle sized wind turbines, is analyzed.
