TPSAS-NF1676L-36025-DND

Reducing aircraft noise is a major objective in the field of computational aeroacoustics. When designing next generation quiet aircraft, it is important to be able to accurately and efficiently predict the acoustic scattering by an aircraft body from a given noise source. Acoustic liners are an effective tool for achieving aircraft noise reduction and are characterized by a frequency-dependent impedance value. Converted into the time-domain using Fourier transforms, an impedance boundary condition can be used to simulate the acoustic wave scattering by geometric bodies treated with acoustic liners. A broadband impedance model will be discussed in which the liner impedance is specified along a wide range of frequencies. The liner impedance boundary condition will be derived and coupled with a time-domain boundary integral equation to model acoustic scattering by a flat plate consisting of both un-lined and lined surfaces. The scattering solution will be obtained iteratively using both spatial and temporal basis functions and the stability will be demonstrated through eigenvalue analysis.

Reducing aircraft noise is a major objective in the field of computational aeroacoustics. When designing next generation quiet aircraft, it is important to be able to accurately and efficiently predict the acoustic scattering by an aircraft body from a given noise source. Acoustic liners are an effective tool for aircraft noise reduction, and are characterized by a complex valued frequency-dependent impedance. Converted into the time-domain using Fourier transforms, an impedance boundary condition can be used to simulate the acoustic scattering of geometric bodies treated with acoustic liners. This work considers using either an impedance boundary condition or admittance boundary condition to allow acoustic scattering problems to be modeled with geometries consisting of both un-lined and lined surfaces; admittance is defined to be the inverse of impedance. Three different acoustic liner models will be discussed: the Extended Helmholtz Resonator Model, the Three-Parameter Impedance Model, and a Broadband Model. In the Extended Helmholtz Resonator Model and Three-Parameter Impedance Model, the liner impedance is specified at a single frequency; the Broadband Model allows for the investigation of multiple frequencies simultaneously. The impedance and admittance boundary conditions for each model will be derived and coupled with a time-domain boundary integral equation. The scattering solution will be obtained iteratively using spatial and temporal basis functions. Stability will be demonstrated through eigenvalue analysis. Moreover, fast algorithms and high performance computing are considered to both assess and reduce the computational cost of the simulation.

The scattering solution will be obtained iteratively using both spatial and temporal basis functions and the stability will be demonstrated through eigenvalue analysis. Stability will be assessed for its dependence on time step, spatial discretization, as well as temporal basis function order. Both second- and third-order Lagrange temporal basis functions are considered.

Investigating the Feasibility and Stability for Modeling Broadband Acoustic Wave Scattering using a Time-Domain Boundary Integral Equation

Reducing aircraft noise is a major objective in the field of computational aeroacoustics. Acoustic liners are an effective tool for reducing aircraft noise and are characterized by a frequency-dependent impedance value.

A Broadband Impedance Model is discussed in which the liner impedance is specified along a wide range of frequencies. An impedance boundary condition is derived and coupled with a time-domain boundary integral equation to model acoustic scattering by a flat plate. It is assumed the flat plate has surfaces treated with acoustic liners. The stability of the numerical algorithm is assessed using eigenvalue analysis.
