Abstract

In order to improve the environmental compatibility of jet engines, we are developing sound absorbing liner technology to reduce jet engine noise. By a simulation that sound waves are absorbed by the sound absorbing liner, we aim to understand the characteristics of the sound absorbing liner and devise a shape with a higher sound absorption coefficient.

Reasons for using JSS2

The calculation is LES with a large amount of computation and storage usage. It was necessary to use SORA-PP, TPP, and SORA-FS.

Achievements of the Year

We attempted to acquire the sound absorbing characteristics of the sound absorbing liner under the glazing flow assuming a two-dimensional laminar flow by using UPACS-LES which is an analytical code with less attenuation of sound waves using a 6th order compact scheme. In Fig. 1, a sound wave passes through the hole of the sound absorbing liner. Figs. 2 and 3 are flow velocities (particle velocities) in and around the hole of the sound absorbing liner. Fig. 2 shows the case without glazing flow, the particle velocities reciprocate in the hole by the sound, and the shear is strong at the corner part of the hole. Fig. 3 shows a case where a glazing flow is present. Steady vortex is generated by the glazing flow, and the sound deforms the vortex. The mechanism of sound absorption differs considerably as compared with the case without glazing flow.
