摘要

A noise modelling approach is proposed for bluff body wakes such as flow over a cylinder, where the primary noise source comprises large-scale coherent structures such as the vortex shedding flow feature. This phenomenon leads to Aeolian tones in the far-field, and is inherent in wake flows across a range of Reynolds numbers (Re), from low-Re to high-Re turbulent flows. The approach employs linear global stability analysis on the time-averaged mean flow, with amplitude calibration through two-point statistics, and far-field noise calculations from the global mode fluctuations by Curle’s analogy. The overall approach is tested for flow over a cylinder at Reynolds numbers Re = 150 and 13,300. For Re = 150 flow, noise directivity calculations from the present approach agree with direct far-field computations. For Re = 13,300 flow, the mean flow is obtained by particle image velocimetry (PIV). The linear global mode for spanwise-homogeneous-type fluctuations is obtained at the main, lift fluctuation frequency. Calibration of this global mode involves time-resolved PIV data in the streamwise-spanwise plane, which is Fourier transformed in frequency-spanwise wavenumber space. The noise calculations for this global mode are then found to be less than 1 dB off from the microphone measurements.
