The noise is one of the serious problems concerning helicopters operations. The issue of helicopter external noise generated mainly from a helicopter rotor has always affected the use of rotorcrafts, especially in the urban environment. The noise sources depend on the flight configurations. In particular, a noise generated by the interaction between blades and tip vortices mainly occurs during descent flight. This noise is called blade-vortex interaction (BVI) noise, and this BVI noise is particularly penalizing for helicopters. In this paper, a numerical study to capture the BVI noise is carried out. The numerical study is performed in two phases. In the first phase, a 2D simulation based on parallel BYI event of Kitapliglu et al experiment is performed. In the second phase, 3D simulation based on HART Ⅱ experiment is performed. Several experimental data such as thrust, torque, blade sectional load, its derivative and vortex location are compared with calculation results and the comparison showed reasonably good agreement.

본 연구에서는 누설와류는 유동에 영향을 미치며 에너지 손실로 된다. 누설 와류에 의한 손실은 다른 원인에 의한 손실에 비교하여 그 비중이 크다. 따라서 누 설와류 특성을 이해하기 위해 설계영각(.alpha.=10.7˚)에서 절현비를 t/C=0.90와 2.71로 바꾸고, 또 절현비가 설계절현비 t/C=0.90일 경우에 영각을 설계 영각 .alpha.=10.7˚와 실 속점의 영각 .alpha.=18.9˚사이에서 바꾸어 회전익 후방의 회전유동장을 측정하여 누설와 류의 거동을 연구하였다.

Experiments were done for the unsteady flow in a counter rotating axial flow fan near peak efficiency and stall point. Flow fields in a counter rotating axial flow fan were measured at cross-sectional planes of the upstream and downstream of each rotor. Cross sectional passage flow patterns were investigated through the acquired data by the $45^{\circ}$ inclined hot-wire. Comparison of flow characteristics between two different operating conditions such as tip vortex, secondary flow and turbulence intensity were performed through the analyses of axial, radial and tangential velocity distributions. As a result, tip vortex and secondary flows are enforced and measured obviously at stall point.

본 연구에서는 회전 깃(rotor blade)을 폭 방향과 시위방향으로 많은 평면 페 널(panel)들로 나누어 이에 말굽쇠 형 화류(horseshoe vortex)를 분포시키는 양력면 (lifting surface)으로 대치하고 후류는 깃상의 순환(circulation)분포에 의해 그 크 기가 결정되는 와도(vorticity)를 와류격자로 대치하는 와류격자법(Vortex Lattice Method`VLM)을 사용하여 HAWT의 공기역학적 성능 예측을 시도하였다. 그리고 후류의 형상은 근 후류(near wake)와 원후류(far wake)로 나누어 근 후류는 깃의 후연(trail- ing edge)에서의 속도를 갖고 와선(vortex line)이 움직이게 하여 결정하였고 원 후류 는 반무한대 원형화류 실린더(semi-infinite circular vortex cylinder)로 취급하여 결정하였다.

A numerical analysis on three dimensional turbulent incompressible flows through linear cascades of turbine rotor blades with high turning angles has been performed by using a generalized k-.epsilon. model which is a high Reynolds number form and derived by RNG(renormalized group) method to account for the variation of the rate of strain. A second order upwind scheme is used to suppress numerical diffusion in approximating the convective terms. Body-fitted coordinates are adopted to represent the complex blade geometry accurately. For the case without tip clearance, velocity vectors and static pressure contours are shown to be in good agreement with previous experimental results. For the case with tip clearance, the effects of the passage vortex and tip clearance flow on the total pressure loss as well as their interactions are discussed.

Numerical simulation was performed for the rotor blade with fixed tab in hover using an unstructured mesh Navier-Stokes flow solver. The inflow and outflow boundary conditions using 1D momentum and 3D sink theory were applied to reduce computational time. Calculations were performed at several operating conditions of varying collective pitch angle and fixed tab length. The aerodynamic effect of fixed tab length was investigated for hovering efficiency, pitching moment and flapping moment of the rotor blade. The results show that it affects linearly increasing on the pitching moment of the rotor blade but does not affect on the flapping moment. The required power is less than 45kw for ground rotating test in hover. Numerical simulations also show that the vortex generate not only from the tip of the rotor blade but also from the fixed tab on the rotor blade.

The BVI(blade vortex interaction) noise Prediction has been one of the most challenging acoustic analyses in helicopter aeromechanical Phenomenon. It is well known high resolution airloads data with accurate tip vortex positions are necessary for the accurate prediction of this phenomenon. The truly unsteady time-marching free-wake method, which is able to capture the tip vortices instability in hover and axial flights, is expanded with the rotor flapping motion and trim routine to predict unsteady airloads in forward and descent flights. And Farassat formulation 1-A based on the FW-H equation is applied for the noise prediction considering the blade flapping motion. Main objective of this study is to validate the newly developed prediction code. To achieve the objective, the descent flight condition of AH-1 OLS(operational loads survey) configuration is analyzed using present code. The predicted sectional thrust distribution and sectional airloads time histories show the present scheme is able to capture well the unsteady airloads caused by a parallel BVI. Finally, the predicted noise data, observed in two different positions where are 3.44 times of rotor radius far from the hub center, are quite reasonable agreements with the experimental data compared to the other analysis results.

Generally, tone noise is generated at the rotary wing and helicopter. BVI(Blade-Vortex Interaction) noise is one of the helicopter's tone noise. The BVI noise is governed by tip-vortex characteristics such as vortex size, strength and trajectory. To avoid BVI, many methods have been developed and proposed. In this paper, rotating blade with active tab was numerically investigated to reduce BVI noise. For flow and noise simulation, the lifting surface approach and the acoustic analogy were used. Using numerical methods, the noise directivity and maximum noise position were predicted.

Compared to the noise limits (CAN7) specified in ICAO Annex 16 for civil helicopters, the Lynx helicopter equipped with BERP blades has only 0.2 EPNdB margin in the approach case although it has more than 4 EPNdB margin in fly-over and take-off conditions. The objectives of the study described in this paper were to devise a low noise main rotor blade for the Lynx using UEAF combined with the high resolution airload model ACROT. A design requirement is that the new blade, KBERP (Korean BERP) blade should achieve a significant reduction in noise during approach(at least 6EPNdB margin) without any noise penalty in fly-over and take-off conditions and minimal performance penalty. It was decided to investigate a tip modification to the BERP blade, employing the twin vortex concept to reduce the BVI noise and to retain the excellent high speed performance characteristics of BERP. Through the parametric study, the KBERP blade with optimized twin vortices has at least a 9 EPNdB noise margin in approach flight condition with only a small penalty in fly-over and take-off conditions. The KBERP tip is thus a very cost effective wav to reduce BVI noise during approach.
