Tfans Tone Fan Noise Design Prediction System Volume 3 Evaluation Of System Codes

Tfans Tone Fan Noise Design/Prediction System. Volume 3; Evaluation of System Codes

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 evaluates TFANS versus full-scale and ADP 22" fig data using the semi-empirical wake modelling in the system. This report is divided into three volumes: Volume 1: System Description, CUP3D Technical Documentation, and Manual for Code Developers; Volume II: User's Manual, TFANS Version 1.4; Volume III: Evaluation of System Codes.Topol, David A.Glenn Research CenterAERODYNAMIC NOISE; FAN BLADES; ROTORS; STATORS; INTERACTIONAL AERODYNAMICS; NOISE PREDICTION (AIRCRAFT); AIRCRAFT NOISE; PROPELLER NOISE; COMPUTER PROGRAMS; INLET NOZZLES; BLADE-VORTEX INTERACTION; ROTOR STATOR INTERACTIONS; USER MANUALS (COMPUTER PROGRAMS); ACOUSTIC PROPERTIES
