The present study has shown that the prediction of hypersonic flowfield structures, shockshapes, and vehicle surface properties are very sensitive to the choice of the kinetic model.The large dispersion in the wall heat flux reaches 60 % as observed in the RAM-CII case Themanner in which the backward reaction rates are computed is quite important as indicated
by the interferograms that were obtained The model of Park (93) gives a better prediction
of hypersonic flowfield around blunt bodies Park(93) is identify as the model for hypersonicflow around blunt bodies with a confidence acceptable to a wide range of Mach number There
is also great sensitivity to the choice of chemical kinetics in flowfield around double-wedge.More numerical simulations compared with experiments need to be conducted to improvethe knowledge of the thermochemical model of air flow around double-wedge

1 Introduction
Aeroacoustics is the branch of Fluid Mechanics studying the mechanism of generation
of noise by fluid motions and its propagation The noise generation is associated withturbulent and unsteady vortical flows, including the effects of any solid boundary in the flow.Experimental studies in this field are very difficult, requiring anechoic wind tunnels and verysensitive instruments able to capture high frequency, low amplitude, pressure fluctuations.Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) can be a powerful tool to simulate the aerodynamicnoise associated to complex turbulent flow fields As sound production represents only avery minute fraction of the energy associated to the flow motion, CAA methods for acousticpropagation have to be more accurate compared to the solution schemes normally used inComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
A direct approach to aeroacoustic problems would imply to solve numerically the fullNavier-Stokes equations for three-dimensional, unsteady, compressible flows Soundwould then be that part of the flow field which dominates at large distances from theregion characterized by intense hydrodynamic fluctuations, propagating at the local soundspeed The direct noise simulation is hardly achievable in practice, except for very simpleconfigurations of academic interest, and in a limited region of space Even if the smallamplitude of the fluctuations allow a linearization, the equations of acoustic disturbances
on an arbitrary base flow are very complicated and their solution is not straightforward
To solve aeroacoustic problems of practical interest some simplifying approximations arenecessary One way to obtain realistic solutions is provided by the hybrid approach Itdecouples the computation of the flow field from the computation of the acoustic field Whenusing a hybrid method the aeroacoustic problem is solved in two steps: in the first step, thehydrodynamic flow field is solved using a CFD method, then the noise sources are identifiedand the acoustic field is obtained Extraction of noise sources from the fluid dynamic fieldcan be done using an aeroacoustic theory such as the Lighthill’s analogy [Crighton (1975);Goldstein (1976)] A hybrid approach is based on the fundamental assumption that there is
a one-way coupling of mean flow and sound, i.e., the unsteady mean flow generates soundand modifies its propagation, but sound waves do not affect the mean flow in any significantway This assumption is not so restrictive, because acoustic feedback is possible only whenthe mechanical energy in the unsteady mean flow is weak enough to be influenced by acousticdisturbances This occurs principally in the vicinity of a starting point for flow instability (forinstance, upstream edges of cavities or initial areas of shear layers) Since the fluid-dynamic

field and the acoustic field are computed separately, numerical accuracy for the mean flowsimulations used as an input of hybrid methods is less critical than in direct computation.Simpler, more flexible and lower-resolution schemes are applicable provided that numericaldissipation is carefully controlled to prevent the artificial damping of high-frequency sourcecomponents Incompressible flow solutions can be adequate for evaluating acoustic sourceterms based on the low Mach numbers approximation Time-accurate turbulence simulationapproaches such as DNS, LES, DES and unsteady RANS methods can be used to compute thespace-time history of the flow field, from which acoustic sources are extracted Because of thehigh computational cost of the time-accurate simulations, there have been efforts to use steadyRANS calculations in conjunction with a statistical model to generate the turbulent acousticterms
Once the acoustics sources have been evaluated, the generated noise has to be propagated
in the surrounding region with linearized propagation models The main focus of the presentchapter is the description of a computational method for noise propagation in turbomachineryapplications In the next Section a linearized model is presented Section 3 describes thenumerical algorithm based on a Discontinuous Galerkin approximation on unstructuredgrids, and in Section 4 several applications are presented
2 Governing equations
In principle the propagation of acoustic waves could be directly studied using the equations ofthe fluid motion, i.e the Navier Stokes equations However, it is possible to introduce someapproximations in the Navier Stokes equations in order to obtain equations more suitablefor aeroacoustics At frequencies of most practical interest, viscous effects are negligible inthe acoustic field because the pressure represents a far greater stress field than the viscousstresses Moreover, these disturbances are always small, also for very loudly acoustic waves.The threshold of pain, i.e the maximum Sound Pressure Level (SPL) which a human canendure for a very short period of time without the risk of permanent ear damage, is equal to
140 dB, which corresponds to pressure fluctuations of amplitude equal to
A=√ 2pref10(SPL/20) ≈90 Pa , (1)
where prefis the reference pressure corresponding to the threshold of hearing at 1 kHz for a
typical human hear For sound propagating in gases it is equal to pref = 2×10−5Pa The
atmospheric pressure of the standard air is equal to p0 = 101325 Pa, which is 103 greaterthan the pressure variation associated with an acoustic wave at the threshold of pain, i.e.,
p /p0 = O
10−3
, where the superscript (.) denotes acoustic quantities and the subscript(.)0denotes mean flow quantities The corresponding density fluctuations of a progressiveplane wave are
a small perturbation of the mean flow field Therefore it is possible to linearize the equations
of motion Considering acoustic waves as a perturbation of the mean flow field, defining
p =p − p0, ρ =ρ − ρ0, v =v − v0, (3)
Trang 13for Noise Radiation 3
and assuming small perturbations, it is possible to obtain the equations for the propagation ofthe sound waves, i.e., the Linearized Euler Equations (LEE) For a two-dimensional problemand a steady mean flow field, LEE are formulated as
is the acoustic perturbation vector,F xandF yare the fluxes along
x and y directions respectively, H contains the mean flow derivatives and S represents the
acoustic sources The fluxes,F xandF y, and the termH have the following expressions
whereu= [ρ , u, v , w , p ]Tis the acoustic perturbation vector expressed in the cylindrical
coordinate system, i.e u , v , and w are the velocity components in (z, r, θ) directionsrespectively FAX
z ,FAX
r ,FAX
θ are the fluxes along z, r, and θ directions respectively, HAX
contains the terms due to the cylindrical reference frame and to the mean flow derivativesand SAX represents the acoustic sources In Section 4.3 it will be shown that a genericturbomachinery tonal wave can be expanded in a sum of complex duct modes, having the
form ˆf(z, r, t ) ·exp(I mθ)where m is an integer number which identifies the azimuthal mode
andI the imaginary unit Therefore, using the dependence of the acoustic field onθ, the
problem can be reduced, from a three-dimensional problem, to a two-dimensional one in(r, z).For a single duct-mode the LEE become
Trang 142.1 Frequency domain approach
The linearized Euler equations, beside acoustic waves, support also instability waves that,for a mean flow with shear-layers, are the well-known Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities Inthe complete physical problem this instabilities are limited and modified by non-linearand viscous effects Indeed, in the linearized Euler equations, these two effects arenot present Therefore when solving LEE in presence of a shear-layer type mean flow,Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities can grow indefinitely as they propagate down-stream fromthe point of introduction and the acoustic solution may be obscured by the non-physicalinstabilities [Agarwal et al (2004); Özyörük (2009)] By using a Fourier decomposition ofthe acoustics sources and solving the linearized Euler equations in the frequency domain onecan, in principle, avoid the unbounded growth of the shear-layer type instability, since theacoustic and instability modes correspond to different values of complex frequency [Rao &Morris (2006)] However, this could be accomplished in practice only if the discretized form
of the equations is solved using a direct solver The use of iterative techniques to solve theresulting global matrix has been discussed by Agarwal et al (2004) It is proved that the use ofany iterative technique to solve the global matrix is equivalent to a pseudo-time marchingmethod, and hence, produces an instability wave solution Therefore, the solution of theglobal matrix needs to be sought by using direct methods such as Gaussian elimination or
LU decomposition techniques
2.2 GTS-like approximation
In order to reduce computational time and memory requirements, the pressure gradients inthe momentum equations are neglected A similar approximation, termed Gradient TermsSuppression (GTS), is often used to overcome instability problems that prevent convergence
of time domain algorithms for the LEE [Tester et al (2008); Zhang et al (2003)] Whilethe original GTS approximation suppresses all mean-flow gradients, which are likely to besmall in the considered subsonic flows, in the present case, being interested in reducingthe computational time, only the density mean-flow gradients in momentum equations areneglected This allows to decouple the continuity equation and to solve only momentum
Trang 15for Noise Radiation 5
and energy equations For an axial-symmetric problem the number of total unknowns is thusreduced by a factorT =5/4, whereas the non-zero terms in the coefficient matrix of the linearsystem associated with the discretized form of Eqs (8) is reduced by a factorT2 Indeed, asmaller linear system can be solved faster, and, more important, its resolution requires lessmemory
Rigid Walls
If walls are assumed impermeable and acoustically rigid, no flow passes through theboundary and acoustic waves are totally reflected Assuming that the mean flow satisfiesthe slip flow boundary condition, an analogous slip flow condition must be imposed on thevelocity fluctuations
whereu is the acoustic velocity andn is the normal vector to the wall To apply this condition,
Eq (11) is used to express one of the velocity components in terms of the others
Axial symmetry
When dealing with axial-symmetric problems, the equations could be solved only for r ≥0
if an appropriate boundary condition is applied on the symmetry axis Along that boundary,
the acoustic velocity should be aligned with the r =0 axis, this can be achieved applying awall type boundary condition
Far-field boundary
One of the major issues in CAA is to truncate the far-field domain preserving a physicallymeaning solution This leads to the necessity to have accurate and robust non-reflectingfar-field boundary conditions A large number of families of non-reflecting boundaryconditions has been derived in literature The most widely used for the Euler equationsare the characteristics-based boundary conditions [Giles (1990); Thompson (1990)] Thesemethods are derived applying the one-dimensional characteristic-variable splitting in theboundary-normal direction This technique is usually efficient and robust The maindrawback is that reflections are prevented only for waves that are traveling in theboundary-normal direction Not negligible reflections can be seen for waves that hit theboundary with other angles Another class of non-reflecting boundary conditions is based
on the asymptotic solutions of the wave equation [Bayliss & Turkel (1980); Tam & Webb(1993)] In this case, the governing equations are replaced in the far field by an analyticsolution obtained imposing an asymptotic behavior to the system These conditions can
be very accurate Unfortunately, the asymptotic solution can be achieved only in a limitednumber of cases, reducing the applicability of this model to test cases
Another family of non-reflective boundary conditions is composed by the buffer zonetechnique [Bodony (2006); Hu (2004)] In this case, an extra zone is added to damp thereflected waves The damping can be introduced as a low-pass filter, grid stretching oraccelerating the mean flow to supersonic speed The main drawback of these techniques is
163
A Frequency-Domain Linearized Euler Model for Noise Radiation
Trang 166 Will-be-set-by-IN-TECH
represented by the increase of the computational cost, as the thickness of the buffer zone could
be important to achieve a good level of accuracy
More recently, the Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) technique has been developed as a newclass of non-reflective boundary conditions The basic idea of the PML approach is to modifythe governing equations in order to absorb the out-going waves in the buffer region Theadvantage of this technique is that the absorbing layer is theoretically capable to damp waves
of any direction and frequency, resulting in thinner layers with respect to other buffer zoneapproaches, with benefits on the efficiency and the accuracy of the solution Originallyproposed by Berenger (1994) for the solution of the Maxwell equations, the PML techniquewas extended to CAA applying the split physical variable formulation to the linearizedEuler equations with uniform mean flow [Hu (1996)] It was shown that the PML absorbingzone is theoretically reflectionless to the acoustic, vorticity and entropy waves Nonetheless,numerical instability arises in this formulation, and in Tam et al (1998) the presence ofinstability waves is demonstrated In Hu (2001), it was shown that the instability of the splitformulation is due to an inconsistency of the phase and group velocities of the acoustic waves
in presence of a mean flow, and a stable PML formulation for the linearized Euler equationwas proposed, based on an unsplit physical variable formulation
The PML technique can be seen as a change of variable in the frequency domain, for example,considering the vertical layer, this change of variable can be written as
x − → x+ω i x
x0
whereσ x > 0 is the absorption coefficient and x0 is the location of the PML/LEE interface
To avoid instabilities, a proper space-time transformation must be used before applying thePML change of variable, so that in the transformed coordinates all linear waves supported
by the LEE have consistent phase and group velocities Assuming that the mean flow in the
absorbing layer is uniform and parallel to the x axis, the proper space-time transform involves
a transformation in time of the form [Hu (2001)]
iω
and ˜F x, ˜F y, and ˜H are the terms of Eq (5) under the
assumption that the mean flow is uniform and parallel to the x axis The damping constants
Trang 17for Noise Radiation 7
σ xandσ yhave the following expressions
conditions are needed except those that are necessary to maintain the numerical stability ofthe scheme For this reason at the external boundary of the absorbing layer wall boundaryconditions are applied
Applying the same PML formulation to the LEE written for the turbomachinery duct modes,the following system is obtained
whereα zandα r are defined as in the two-dimensional case and ˜F z, ˜F r, ˜F θ, and ˜H are the
terms of Eq (9) and Eq (10) under the assumption that the mean flow is uniform and parallel
to the z axis.
Acoustic inlet
The PML formulation is also used to impose incoming waves at acoustic inlet boundaries Onthose boundaries incoming waves should be specified, but at the same time outgoing wavesshould leave the computational domain without reflections This can be achieved applyingthe PML equations to the reflected wave,ure[Özyörük (2009)], which can be expressed as thetotal acoustic field,u, minus the incoming prescribed acoustic wave, uin

3 Numerical methods
The numerical solution of the LEE requires highly accurate and efficient algorithms able
to mimic the non-dispersive and non-diffusive nature of the acoustic waves propagatingover long distances One of the most popular numerical scheme in CAA is the DispersionRelation Preserving (DRP) algorithm originally proposed by Tam & Webb (1993) The DRPscheme is designed for Cartesian or highly regular curvilinear coordinates However, inmany practical applications, complex geometries must be considered and unstructured gridsmay be necessary One of the most promising numerical scheme able to fulfill all the aboverequirements is the Discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM or DG method)
The DGM was firstly proposed in the early seventies by Reed and Hill in the frame of theneutron transport [Reed & Hill (1973)] Since then, the method has found its use in manydifferent computational models In the last years, in the context of CFD, DGM has gained
an increasing popularity because of its superior properties with respect to more traditionalschemes in terms of accuracy and intrinsic stability [Cockburn et al (2000)]
The DG method displays many interesting properties It is compact: regardless of the order
of the element, data are only exchanged between neighboring elements It is well suited forcomplex geometries because the expected dispersion and dissipation properties are retainedalso on unstructured grids Furthermore in the framework of DGM it is straightforward
to implement the boundary conditions, since only the flux needs to be specified at theboundary The main disadvantage of the DGM is its computational cost Because of thediscontinuous character, there are extra degrees of freedom at cell boundaries in comparison tothe continuous finite elements, demanding more computational resources This drawback can
be partially reduced with a static condensation technique and with a parallel implementation
of the algorithm, operations which are made easier by the compactness of the scheme[Bernacki et al (2006)]
3.1 Discontinuous Galerkin formulation
The DGM will be initially presented for the scalar problem of finding the solution u of the
hyperbolic conservation equation
The discontinuous Galerkin formulation is based on the idea of discretizing the domainΩ
into a set of E non-overlapping elementsΩe Introducing the notations
Trang 19for Noise Radiation 9
To obtain an expression which explicitly contains the flux at the element interfaces, thedivergence term in Eq (26) is integrated by parts
∂Ω w F(u ) · n=0 , (27)wheren is the outward-pointing normal versor referred to each element edge For interfaces
on the domain borders, the normal flux vector is evaluated using appropriate boundaryconditions In the general case a boundary condition defines the normal flux asF(u ) · n =
FBC(u) +GBC On internal interfaces,F(u ) · n is evaluated from the values of u In order for
the formulation to be consistent, the normal flux vector evaluated on right side of an internalinterface must be equal to minus the normal flux vector evaluated on the left side of the sameinterface Since one of the key feature of the DGM is the discontinuity of the solution amongthe elements, the consistency is not automatically guaranteed by the formulation Thereforethe normal fluxF(u ) · n is replaced by a numerical flux F R(u)which is uniquely defined nomatter of the side on which it is evaluated (see section 3.2) For ease of notation it is convenient
to introduce the following definition
whereF ∂+G ∂is equal toFBC+GBCfor interfaces on the domain borders and is equal to
toFRfor internal ones Furthermore, assuming that the flux vector is a linear function of theunknown, yields
where A and A ∂ are two matrices representing the Jacobian of the physical flux and the
Jacobian of the numerical flux respectively Using Eq (28) and Eqs (29), the weak formulation
∂Ω w A ∂ u+G ∂
Given Eq (30), the discontinuous Galerkin approximation is obtained considering a finite
element space, W h , to approximate W On each element, a set of points called nodes or degrees
of freedom is identified The number and the position of the nodes depend on the type ofapproximation used The set of nodes is chosen to be the same on each element, in this way, onelement’s borders, there is a direct correspondence among the nodes defined on neighboring
elements The nodes are numbered globally using the index jglob=1, 2, , nglobwith nglob
being the global number of degrees of freedom Beside the global numbering, there is a local
numbering On each element the nodes are identified using the index j eloc = 1, 2, , nloce where n e
loc is the number of degrees of freedom of the e-th element The correspondence
between local node numbers and global node numbers can be expressed through a matrixcalled connectivity matrix
jglob= C e, j e
The nodes of the discretization are used to define the finite element space W h: the vector space
W his generated by the Lagrangian polynomials defined on the nodes of the discretization The
variable u ∈ W is therefore approximated in the W h space with an interpolation of its nodalvalues
Trang 2010 Will-be-set-by-IN-TECH
where u j(t) is the value of u in the j-th global node x j , y j
at the time t andΦj is the
Lagrangian polynomial defined on the j-th global node with the property
Φi x j , y j
Although in this work Lagrangian interpolation functions are used, other types of
interpolation are possible Considering the vector space W h, the discrete weak form of
problem (23) consists in finding u h ∈ W hsuch that
∂Ω w h A ∂ u − G ∂
=0 ∀ w h ∈ W h (34)Substituting Eq (32) into the discrete weak form (34) leads to
This equation must hold for every admissible choice of weight functions w h, therefore it is
sufficient to test it for the ngloblinearly independent functions of a base of W h In this way it
is possible to obtain nglob independent algebraic equations to solve for the nglobunknowns
u j The vector space W h is defined as the space formed by the Lagrangian polynomials
Φi, therefore the functions Φi form a base for W h The i-th algebraic equation is obtained substituting w h=Φiinto Eq (35)
where ˆ(.)(l) j is the l-th component of the Fourier transform of(.),ω (l)is the angular frequency
of the l-th Fourier mode and Iis the imaginary unit Equation (37) represents the weak-formdiscontinuous Galerkin model for a scalar hyperbolic problem in the frequency domain Itcan also be written in matrix notation as
