Abstract

A radial rake inserted in to a turbofan inlet or exhaust duct. It has radially distributed pressure transducers. The rake continuously and synchronously rotates about the duct centerline to obtain a time history of the dynamic pressure. A complete acoustic mode map at the fan harmonics is obtained from the signal processing.

Numerical Predictions of Mode Reflections in an Open Circular Duct: Comparison with Theory

The NASA Broadband Aeroacoustic Stator Simulation code was used to compute the acoustic field for higher-order modes in a circular duct geometry. To test the accuracy of the results computed by the code, the duct was terminated by an open end with an infinite flange or no flange. Both open end conditions have a theoretical solution that was used to compare with the computed results. Excellent comparison for reflection matrix values was achieved after suitable refinement of the grid at the open end. The study also revealed issues with the level of the mode amplitude introduced into the acoustic held from the source boundary and the amount of reflection that occurred at the source boundary when a general nonreflecting boundary condition was applied.
