Tfans Tone Fan Noise Design/Prediction System. Volume 1; System Description, Cup3d Technical Documentation and Manual for Code Developers

TFaNS is the Tone Fan Noise Design/Prediction System developed by Pratt & Whitney under contract to NASA Lewis (presently NASA Glenn). The purpose of this system is to predict tone noise emanating from a fan stage including the effects of reflection and transmission by the rotor and stator and by the duct inlet and nozzle. These effects have been added to an existing annular duct/isolated stator noise prediction capability. TFaNS consists of: The codes that compute the acoustic properties (reflection and transmission coefficients) of the various elements and write them to files. Cup3D: Fan Noise Coupling Code that reads these files, solves the coupling problem, and outputs the desired noise predictions. AWAKEN: CFD/Measured Wake Postprocessor which reformats CFD wake predictions and/or measured wake data so it can be used by the system. This volume of the report provides technical background for TFaNS including the organization of the system and CUP3D technical documentation. This document also provides information for code developers who must write Acoustic Property Files in the CUP3D format. This report is divided into three volumes: Volume I: System Description, CUP3D Technical Documentation, and Manual for Code Developers; Volume II: User's Manual, TFaNS Vers. 1.4; Volume III: Evaluation of System Codes.Topol, David A.Glenn Research CenterACOUSTIC PROPERTIES; AERODYNAMIC NOISE; NOISE PREDICTION (AIRCRAFT); AIRCRAFT NOISE; ROTOR BLADES (TURBOMACHINERY); STATOR BLADES; INLET NOZZLES; COUPLING COEFFICIENTS; SCATTERING COEFFICIENTS; COMPUTER PROGRAMS
