Active control of fan noise from high-bypass ratio aeroengines: a numerical study

摘要

Under the national research project, dubbed Turbotech II, in which MTU Aero Engines, DLR Institute of Propulsion Technology and EADS Corporate Research Centre participate, active noise control (ANC) has been tested with a scale model fan of one metre diameter for a high bypass ratio aeroengine. MTU's task in this project was to develop a computer code to predict the sound field in the intake duct of the fan-rig by the use of active control. The primary objective of the numerical study was to specify numbers of actuators (loudspeakers) and error sensors (microphones) and their positioning to control the harmonic sound power, radiated upstream to the duct intake.
