Analysis for the Sound Field Produced by Rigid Wide Cord Dual Rotation Propellers of High Solidarity in Compressible Flow

摘要

An unsteady lifting service theory for the counter-rotating propeller is presented using the linearized governing equations for the acceleration potential and representing the blades by a surface distribution of pulsating acoustic dipoles distributed according to a modified Birnbaum series. The Birnbaum series coefficients are determined by satisfying the surface tangency boundary conditions on the front and rear propeller blades. Expressions for the combined acoustic resonance modes of the front prop, the rear prop and the combination are also given.
