Abstract

Many NASA and industry advanced airframe configurations involve highly integrated installations of the propulsion system either directly into the airframe or in close proximity. Current acoustic challenges resulting from highly integrated propulsion installations will be reviewed as well as the ongoing NASA efforts to quantify these impacts to improve noise estimates of future systems and guide noise reduction technology maturation activities.

PIV Measurements of a Low-noise Top-mounted Propulsion Installation for a Supersonic Airliner

A model-scale exhaust system was tested to validate low-noise propulsion concepts and noise prediction methods. The tests involved far-field acoustics, phased array, and particle image velocimetry (PIV). This paper covers the particle image velocimetry portion. Data was acquired at NASA Glenn's Aero-Acoustic Propulsion Lab for a series of nozzles with different chevron designs, both uninstalled and installed on a representative aircraft planform. The impact of the various chevron treatments on the turbulent velocity field was documented, along with the impact of the pylon and planform. When correlated with far-field acoustic measurements and phased array measurements, reported in companion papers, the explanation of acoustic benefits from top-mounted propulsion is clear as is the path toward optimization of the concept.
