11、 is the noise produced by airflow over an aircraft, has beenrecently recognized as the noise floor for aircraft noise reduction (refs. 1 and 2). Subse-quently, much research effort has been aimed at identifying the noise sources on the airframeand determining their relative contribution to the overa

12、ll airframe aerodynamic noise.In 1974, Healy (ref. 3) presented a technique for estimating the level of the overall air-frame noise and a nondimensionalized airframe-noise spectrum for an aircraft in the cruise con-figuration. Gibson (ref. 4) extended the applicability of this technique to larger ai

13、rcraft inthe cruise configuration and further investigated the noise produced by the individual com-ponents present in the landing configuration such as the main and front wheel wells, landinggear, and flaps. He reports a substantial increase in perceived noise level when the aircraftchanges from th

14、e cruise to the landing configuration and concludes that the main contributorsto the noise increase were the landing-gear/wheel-well assembly and the wing/flap assembly.A state-of-the-art review of airframe noise by Hardin (ref. 5) revealed a number ofpapers concerning the production of sound by man

The magnitude of this internal pressure field was foundto be a function of fluid velocity, cavity

Although sound radiation was observed there was nocomparison of the internal pressure field with the external sound field nor di

If this relationshi

20、paper is to investigate the effect of the change in velocity, cavitylength, and boundary-layer thickness on the farfield sound generated by a flow-excited cavity.Predictions schemes will be reviewed and presented in light of the data obtained in thisexperiment. The present work contains preliminary

Eight farfield microphones (sensors 2 to 9) shown in figure 1were placed approximately 0.8 m from the leading edge of the cavity to measure radiatedsound produced by the flow-excited cavity. This d

Sensors 2, 6, 7,and 9 were located beyond the edge of the flat plate but in the same plane. Sensor .1 waslocated in the center of the rearward facing wall of the cavity to measure the d

All pressure levels (hydro-dynamic and acoustic) are relative to 2 X 10“ N/m .BACKGROUNDIn order to understand better the .data obtained in this experiment it is beneficial toreview the mechanisms that have been proposed as the cause of both the random and

31、thelarge-scale pressure fluctuations inside the cavity. There are four basic types of mechanismsor flow patterns. These source mechanisms can be classified as primary hydrodynamic orprimary acoustic. These mechanisms can be described with the help of figure 2 where thecavity is viewed from the side

32、and the flow is moving from left to right. The first sourcetype, which is purely hydrodynamic, is called the captive-vortex model and is shown in fig-ure 2(a). Captive vortices (cellular flow) have been observed for certain values of the cavitylength-to-depth ratio (refs. 8 and 12). The oscillatory

33、motion of this captive-vortex systemwithin the cavity has been considered as a cause of large-scale1 periodic pressure fluctuations(refs. 7, 8, and 12). When the cavity dimensions did not permit cellular flow, the large-scalesteady pressure oscillations diminished and the internal pressures were ran

34、dom. These flowpatterns were observed in deeper cavities where the length-to-depth ratio was less than about 2.The second type of source mechanism arises from the shear-layer oscillation which isshown in figure 2(b). Shear-layer oscillation (similar to that occurring with edge tones andvortex format

35、ion) is caused by the interaction of the shear layer shed by the leading edge ofthe cavity with the downstream edge of the cavity. This shear layer is folded into the cavityto form a vortex. As the vortex grows and travels down the cavity length the shear layermoves upward. As the vortex exits from

36、the cavity as a whole, it causes the shear layer tobend into the cavity. After the vortex is shed, the downward position of the shear layerProvided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-caused by the mass exit forces the fluid to enter the cavity. A

37、t this point another vortexbegins to form. Smoke tunnel photographs (ref. 9) and shadowgraphs (ref. 13) show this flowsequence clearly. The explanation and analysis originally given by Nyborg (ref. 6) for thisjet/edge interaction was extended by Spee (ref. 14) for a cavity, obtaining a relationship

(1)The normal displacement of the shear layer over the mouth of the cavity is similar to themechanism that excites a Helmholtz resonator. The resonance of the volume of air withinthe cavity is also though

39、t to enhance the sound radiation for deep cavities when excited inthis manner in the resonance region of the cavity (ref. 9).Another mechanism causing shear-layer oscillation is that proposed by Heller and Bliss(ref. 17) as the result of pressure measurements and a water-table visualization study. C

40、onsidera shallow cavity under an external high-speed flow. It appears that at the cavity trailing edgethere occurs a periodic mass intake and mass efflux, caused by an oscillatory motion of theshear layer at the trailing edge. The mass intake creates a region of overpressure in thetrailing-edge regi

41、on which sends out an internal pressure front, traveling upstream within thecavity towards the leading edge. There it reflects and travels downstream back towards thetrailing edge. This cavity internal pressure wave forces the shear layer “up,“ since the pressure-wave front divides a region of overp

42、ressure and underpressure, to which the shear layer neces-sarily has to adjust. Hence, the shear layer will bulge out into the free stream when abovea region of overpressure and cave in when above a region of underpressure. Thus, the shearlayer will assume some wavelike motion which is a result of t

43、he cavity internal pressure-wavemotion, leading to a periodic up-and-down motion at the trailing edge, which in turn createsthe overpressure necessary to sustain the process. Obviously there is a self-sustaining feedbackmechanism involved. At subsonic flow speeds, which are of interest in the contex

44、t of thispaper, the shear layer will tend to roll up, forming discrete vortices. Hence, the appearanceof discrete vortices is considered in this study as a byproduct of the shear-layer motion. Thefrequencies of this type motion are given by equation (2).The third mechanism is a hydrodynamic/acoustic

45、 feedback model suggested by Rossiter(ref. 13) and shown in figure 2(c). An interaction of the intense sound emanating from thetrailing edge with the shear layer will maintain a periodic shedding of vortices at the leadingedge. As these vortices travel downstream and impinge on or pass the trailing

46、edge soundis emitted. This sound travels upstream to interact with the shear layer at the leading edge,and the process is repeated.

However, they point out thatfor Mach numbers below

48、0.5 his formula underpredicts the resonant frequency.The above three models are examples of hydrodynamic resonance. The captive vortexmodel is dependent on all dimensions whereas the oscillating-shear-layer and feedback modelshave preferred frequency predictions based on length only. All three model

It is conceivable that under the proper conditions (dimensions and velocity) any,all, or none of the mechanisms for oscillatory response may exist.The fourth type of source mechanism, which is purely acoustic, is called an acousticresonator and is shown in figure 2(d).
