Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Clocking on Tonal Noise of First Two Booster Stages of Turbofan Engine
摘要
The article presents the results of a numerical investigation of the clocking, which is circumferential indexing of rotor or stator blade rows, and its effect on tonal noise for the first two booster stages of a turbofan engine low-pressure compressor. Calculations are performed for several relative positions of both rotor blade rows and stator blade rows. The considered computational model includes a row of fan rotor blades, rows of rotor blades, and rows of stator blades corresponding to the first two booster stages, as well as a row of inlet guide vanes of the booster. The stages have identical numbers of rotor blades and stator blades. The problem is to obtain the power of noise radiation and directivity patterns for the most intensive tones in operating mode
