Synergy between Noise Reduction Techniques Applied in Different Industries: A Review

Abstract

This review aims to assist aerodynamic noise in three industrial fields: Aerospace, Turbomachinery and Automotive. In this review the general terms in aeroacoustics is defined; and aerodynamic noise sources are recognized. The paper also reviews the brief literature on noise reduction techniques, with a particular focus on the state of the art numerical and experimental works. In Addition, developments in low speed designs for aerodynamic noise reduction, some passive and active methods for example serrated boundaries, porous media, noise absorber, and etc. are discussed. By investigating similarities in noise reduction techniques between these industries, this paper offers an outlook for noise reduction techniques in future.
