Abstract
Ultra high bypass ratio aviation jet engines have a smaller sound absorbing liner area than conventional engines. In this project, we will develop sound-absorbing device technology that provides high noise reduction performance even with a small-sized sound-absorbing liner.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
To perform many LES calculations by changing the shape of the sound absorbing liner, the calculation performance and the storage capacity of JAXA supercomputer system were required.
Achievements of the Year
In this study, the impulse response method is used to numerically simulate phenomena that occur when sound is incident on a sound-absorbing liner used to reduce noise in aircraft jet engines. This year, we showed that by dividing the impulse response into two parts, it is possible to consider the actual phenomenon as the sum of the two phenomena. Figure 1 shows an example of impulse response splitting by numerical simulation using the impulse response method. The upper panel shows the sound pressure when an impulse travels through a flow duct with an acoustic liner. The middle panel shows the sound pressure when an impulse is applied to a flow duct without an acoustic liner. The lower panel is the upper panel minus the middle panel, and is the sound pressure radiated from the vibration in the acoustic liner. Figure 2 shows the convolution of each of these impulse responses with a sinusoidal wave of resonant frequency. The upper panel shows the sound wave passing through the flow duct with the acoustic liner and the sound becoming quieter. The middle panel shows the incident sound wave and the lower panel shows the sound wave radiated from the acoustic liner. It can be seen that the upper row is the sum of the middle and lower rows. From this, it is confirmed that the resonant acoustic liner emits sound in the opposite phase of the incident sound and muffles it.
Fig.1(video): Impulse response (sound pressure) and its division. Upper: Impulse response of flow duct with acoustic liner. Middle: Impulse response of flow duct without acoustic liner. Bottom: Impulse response radiated from the acoustic liner.
Fig.2(video): Results of convolution of each impulse response (sound pressure). Upper: The effect of the acoustic liner. Middle: Incident sound wave. Bottom: Sound waves radiated from the acoustic liner. It can be confirmed that the sound radiated by the acoustic liner cancels the incident sound.
