The purpose of this study was to evaluate several acoustic linings that are candidate designs for the Ames 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel test section. The acoustic treatment will be used to reduce wall reflections from aircraft model noise sources. The goal is not simply to attenuate sound propagating down the duct, but rather to create a semi-anechoic space in a windy environment by absorbing at least 80% of the incident acoustic energy over a wide frequency range, if possible.
Film cooling is used in a wide variety of engineering applications for protection of surfaces from hot or combusting gases. The design of more efficient film cooling geometries/configurations could be facilitated by an ability to accurately model and predict the effectiveness of current designs using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code predictions. Hence, a benchmark set of flow field property data were obtained for use in assessing current CFD capabilities and for development of better modeling approaches for these turbulent flow fields where accurate calculation of turbulent heat flux is important. Both Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and spontaneous rotational Raman scattering (SRS) spectroscopy were used to acquire high quality, spatially-resolved measurements of the mean velocity, turbulence intensity as well as the mean temperature and root mean square (rms) temperatures in a film cooling flow field. In addition to off-body flow field measurements, infrared thermography (IR) and thermocouple measurements on the plate surface enabled estimates of the film effectiveness. Raman spectra in air were obtained across a matrix of axial locations downstream from a 68.07 mm square nozzle blowing heated air over a range of temperatures (up to TR = 2.7) and Mach numbers (up to M0.9), across a 30.48 cm long plate equipped with three patches of 45 small (~1 mm) diameter cooling holes arranged in a staggered configuration. In addition, both centerline streamwise 2-component PIV and cross-stream 3-component Stereo PIV data at 14 axial stations were collected in the same flows. Only a subset of the data collected in the test program is included in this Part I report and are available from the NASA STI office. The final portion of the data will be published in a future report, Part II, along with CFD predictions of the complex cooling film flow.

This study explores the effects of increasing the cell size for large-cell acoustic liners. Tests are conducted in the NASA Langley Grazing Flow Impedance Tube to evaluate liners with increasingly larger cell dimensions (up to 2” x 4” cross-section). Conventional impedance eduction confirms that liners with 2” x 3” cells (or larger) must be evaluated using nonlocally reacting assumptions. In addition, due to the sound propagation within cavities, the liners must be modeled using higher fidelity techniques. Thus, grazing flow duct and acoustic liner are modeled simultaneously using finite element methods. The facesheet is modeled using a transfer impedance, while the rest of the domain is modeled using the convected Helmholtz equation. The acoustic pressures predicted are shown to compare favorably with those measured in the Grazing Flow Impedance Tube.
