Numerical study of a control scheme on flow-induced cavity noise

Abstract

A numerical procedure for flow induced cavity noise is established in the paper. The procedure is based on large eddy simulation and FW-H acoustic analogy. The computational scheme is validated by comparing with experimental data. The change of flow induced noise along with cavity length, cavity depth and velocity is studied. A noise control scheme, which includes upright grille and oblique grille, is designed for reducing the flow-induced cavity noise. It turns out that the oblique grille shows superiority in the reduction of cavity noise by modifying the flow structure of the sheat layer.
