Noise control in tandem airfoil configurations using leading-edge serrations on the front airfoil
摘要
Passive noise control of a tandem NACA6412 airfoil is experimentally studied by applying sinusoidal serrations to the leading-edge of the front airfoil. The position of the rear airfoil in the vertical gap direction is adjusted to identify the position that results in the maximum reduction in far-field noise. Subsequently, detailed unsteady flow characteristics in the flow field are measured using particle image velocimetry (PIV). The far-field noise results indicate that, at the position of optimal noise reduction, the application of leading-edge serrations to the front airfoil significantly reduces turbulence interaction noise in the frequency range of
