Active control of source sound power in uniform flow

Active control of source sound power in uniform flow
Active control of source sound power in uniform flow

This paper is mainly a theoretical study of the minimum sound power radiated by two point volume velocity sources situated in an unbounded uniform fluid which moves with a uniform steady velocity. The paper also calculates the maximum sound power that can be absorbed by a point volume velocity source from an incident plane wave in a uniform flow field. The study is in response to the growing interest in applying active control to reduce the sound radiated from aircraft turbofan intakes on approach. For the idealised volume velocity source distribution used in this paper convection effects, to leading term, are found to be of order M2, where M is the Mach number. Mean flows with high subsonic Mach numbers are therefore found to cause a significant deterioration in the radiated sound power that can be reduced at a fixed source separation distance.

Abstract

This paper is mainly a theoretical study of the minimum sound power radiated by two point volume velocity sources situated in an unbounded uniform fluid which moves with a uniform steady velocity. The paper also calculates the maximum sound power that can be absorbed by a point volume velocity source from an incident plane wave in a uniform flow field. The study is in response to the growing interest in applying active control to reduce the sound radiated from aircraft turbofan intakes on approach. For the idealised volume velocity source distribution used in this paper convection effects, to leading term, are found to be of order M2, where M is the Mach number. Mean flows with high subsonic Mach numbers are therefore found to cause a significant deterioration in the radiated sound power that can be reduced at a fixed source separation distance.
