The theoretical and experimental investigations on multiple pure tone noise, part 1

A theoretical and experimental investigation is described on multiple pure tone noise. Based on a two-dimensional and inviscid flow model, an analysis is developed to predict the generation and subsequent evolution of multiple pure tone noise from prescribed blade-to-blade nonuniformities in the rotor geometry. The results show that even small nonuniformities within manufacturing tolerances can cause a significant amount of multiple pure tone noise. Among the different kinds of nonuniformities investigated, errors in blade spacings are a weaker generator of multiple pure tone noise than errors in blade stagger or blade contours. Experimental investigations of the effects of the rotor relative Mach number, incidence angle and length of the inlet duct on the evolution of the multiple pure tone noise are conducted with a known distribution of rotor nonuniformities. The model fan is operated, in Freon 12, in a closed loop acoustical facility.
