Towards a generic non-reflective characteristic boundary condition for aeroacoustic simulations
Towards a generic non-reflective characteristic boundary condition for aeroacoustic simulations
A blended zonal characteristic boundary condition is proposed following a quantitative investigation of the performance of several non-reflective boundary conditions. Two test cases are considered that investigate the effects of acoustic and vortical plane waves impinging on the domain outflow region. A third test case investigates the effects of broadband turbulent flow impinging on a non-reflective outflow boundary condition. From these studies, two non-reflective boundary conditions based on a zonal characteristic method are found to provide a minimal acoustic response for impinging acoustic and vortical disturbances, respectively. These methods both make use of the transverse characteristic terms
to improve performance, although each method uses a different inclusion of these terms.
A final boundary condition is proposed that blends the performance of the two zonal characteristic methods. A blending function is used that switches the characteristic boundary condition smoothly between regions dominated by acoustic, or vortical, disturbances. The feasibility of this novel method is demonstrated on a test case where broadband turbulence impinges on a small section of an outflow region.

Abstract
A blended zonal characteristic boundary condition is proposed following a quantitative investigation of the performance of several non-reflective boundary conditions. Two test cases are considered that investigate the effects of acoustic and vortical plane waves impinging on the domain outflow region. A third test case investigates the effects of broadband turbulent flow impinging on a non-reflective outflow boundary condition. From these studies, two non-reflective boundary conditions based on a zonal characteristic method are found to provide a minimal acoustic response for impinging acoustic and vortical disturbances, respectively. These methods both make use of the transverse characteristic terms
to improve performance, although each method uses a different inclusion of these terms.
A final boundary condition is proposed that blends the performance of the two zonal characteristic methods. A blending function is used that switches the characteristic boundary condition smoothly between regions dominated by acoustic, or vortical, disturbances. The feasibility of this novel method is demonstrated on a test case where broadband turbulence impinges on a small section of an outflow region.
