DOWNLOAD EBOOKA mathematical model was assembled from fundamental fluid dynamic relations and turbulent single-stream mixing zone relations to predict spectra, i.e., the frequency and amplitude, of unsteady pressures acting in a rectangular cavity exposed to an external flow parallel to the cavity opening. Characteristics of the approaching boundary layer are expected as inputs, thereby allowing computation of spectra for cases of mass-injection upstream of the cavity. The equations were compiled as a code (CAP) that can be run in less than 15 sec on a personal computer. Maximum dynamic loads acting on the contents of the cavity can be estimated, in addition to the primary frequencies of oscillation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe hydrodynamically generated noise produced from flow over cavities includes both broadband and tones. The frequency content and amplitude of the resulting noise is a function of the cavity geometry and the approaching boundary layer. The cavity length to depth ratio (L/D) is an important parameter that governs the characteristics of cavity noise generated. While both of the noise components are important this work will focus on the production of cavity tones. Cavity tones typically have higher sound pressure levels and can propagate over longer distances than the broadband noise.The enhancements to the numerical code shown in this work result in the first non-hybrid tool for the prediction of low speed cavity noise. At moderate subsonic Mach numbers the direct calculation of cavity tones has been performed by numerous researchers using highly accurate spatial and time discretization. However, most researchers that are trying to predict the noise from low Mach number flows take a hybrid approach where the fluid dynamics of the simulation are solved with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver and the acoustics are solved separately. The other solver is often based on Lighthills Acoustic Analogy or an asympototic method such as the Expansion about Incompressible Flow (EIF). This work calculates the conservative Navier-Stokes variables to directly predict the cavity tones.The numerical solver CHOPA (Compressible, High-Order Parallel Acoustics) is extended in this work for the accurate and fast calculation of low Mach number cavity flows. A time-derivative preconditioner equalizes the acoustic wave and turbulence convective speeds to allow for a more efficient time step and shorter calculation times. Because the preconditioner destroys the time accuracy of the solution a dual-time step approach is used for the time integration. Other modifications to the code are required to facilitate the proper implementation of the preconditioner: Matrix-based artificial dissipation, buffer zone, and extrapolation boundary condition. An extension by Buelow of Choi-Merkles viscous preconditioner is selected for this work.There are several different numerical validations performed on the preconditioned Navier-Stokes solver to ensure high quality solutions. First, the combination buffer zone/extrapolation boundary condition is tested by simulating the propagation of a Gaussian pressure pulse. Then the preconditioner is tested with several different analyses. The convection of a uniform velocity flow field with a random perturbation imposed on the flow field tests if the preconditioned solution is independent of the flow Mach number. Then a time accurate Gaussian pressure pulse tests the ability of the preconditioner to solve a time dependent solution. Lastly, a laminar boundary layer flow is calculated and compared to an exact solution showing that the preconditioner is effective for viscous flows. The prediction of cavity tones from a deep (L/D = 0.78) and shallow (L/D = 2.35) cavity is simulated for comparison against the experimental measurements of Block. The Mach number of the simulations varied from 0.05 to 0.4. The cavity tone frequencies have an acceptable comparison against the measurements for the deep cavity. However, the shallow cavity tones were almost independent of the flow speed, which may be an indication that standing waves in the cavity could be responsible for the tones for this geometry. The other cavity simulations replicated the experiment by Stallings et al.for L/D = 5.42 and L/D = 6.25 for a Mach number of 0.2. The time-averaged wall pressure fluctuations were compared to measurements. While the predicted wall pressures did not match the experiment the discrepancy is because of the existence of a wake mode in the numerical results. This is a two-dimensional phenomenon where a large vortex is generated in the cavity and then violently ejected from the cavity, significantly increasing drag. While not matching the experiment the results behave as expected for a cavity resonating in a wake mode.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe field of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and hybrids is a vibrant research area. This book runs through all the potential unsteady modelling fidelity ranges, from low-order to LES. The latter is probably the highest fidelity for practical aerospace systems modelling. Cutting edge new frontiers are defined. One example of a pressing environmental concern is noise. For the accurate prediction of this, unsteady modelling is needed. Hence computational aeroacoustics is explored. It is also emerging that there is a critical need for coupled simulations. Hence, this area is also considered and the tensions of utilizing such simulations with the already expensive LES. This work has relevance to the general field of CFD and LES and to a wide variety of non-aerospace aerodynamic systems (e.g. cars, submarines, ships, electronics, buildings). Topics treated include unsteady flow techniques; LES and hybrids; general numerical methods; computational aeroacoustics; computational aeroelasticity; coupled simulations and turbulence and its modelling (LES, RANS, transition, VLES, URANS). The volume concludes by pointing forward to future horizons and in particular the industrial use of LES. The writing style is accessible and useful to both academics and industrial practitioners. From the reviews: "Tucker's volume provides a very welcome, concise discussion of current capabilities for simulating and modellng unsteady aerodynamic flows. It covers the various pos sible numerical techniques in good, clear detail and presents a very wide range of practical applications; beautifully illustrated in many cases. This book thus provides a valuable text for practicing engineers, a rich source of background information for students and those new to this area of Research & Development, and an excellent state-of-the-art review for others. A great achievement." Mark Savill FHEA, FRAeS, C.Eng, Professor of Computational Aerodynamics Design & Head of Power & Propulsion Sciences, Department of Power & Propulsion, School of Engineering, Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, U.K. "This is a very useful book with a wide coverage of many aspects in unsteady aerodynamics method development and applications for internal and external flows." L. He, Rolls-Royce/RAEng Chair of Computational Aerothermal Engineering, Oxford University, U.K. "This comprehensive book ranges from classical concepts in both numerical methods and turbulence modelling approaches for the beginner to latest state-of-the-art for the advanced practitioner and constitutes an extremely valuable contribution to the specific Computational Fluid Dynamics literature in Aeronautics. Student and expert alike will benefit greatly by reading it from cover to cover." Sébastien Deck, Onera, Meudon, France

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis thesis investigates the sound generated by solid bodies in steady subsonic flows with unsteady perturbations, as is typically used when determining the noise generated by turbulent interactions. The focus is predominantly on modelling the sound generated by blades within an aircraft engine, and the solutions are presented as asymptotic approximations. Key analytical techniques, such as the Wiener-Hopf method, and the matched asymptotic expansion method are clearly detailed. The results allow for the effect of variations in the steady flow or blade shape on the noise generated to be analysed much faster than when solving the problem numerically or considering it experimentally.
