Improved methods for calculating the thickness noise

Abstract

Advanced methods to compute the rotor thickness noise which is predominant in the case of high speed rotor were developed. These methods were deduced from a previous method by transforming the integral coordinate, commuting the order of integration and differential, and/or performing chordwise integration analytically with some adequate assumption. The necessary computational times and waveforms obtained by the previous and three advanced methods were compared. It was then concluded that the advanced methods could save the computational time compared with the previous method with the same accuracy.
