Resumen
Future UHBR (Ultra-High Bypass-Ratio) engines might cause serious ?turbine noise storms? but, at present, turbine noise prediction capability is lacking. The large turning angle of the turbine blade is the first major factor deserving special attention. The RANS (Reynold Averaged Navier?Stokes equation)-informed (here called RI) method and LINSUB (the bound vorticity 2D model LINearized SUBsonic flow in cascade), developed to predict fan broadband noise, coupled with a two-flat-plates (here called TP) assumption for the turbine blade, is applied here, and one autonomous rapid RI-TP model for predicting turbine wake interaction broadband noise has been developed. Firstly, taking the single axial turbine test rig NPU-Turb as the object, both the experimental data and the DDES/AA (delayed Detached Eddy Simulation/Acoustic Analogy) hybrid model have been used to validate the RI-TP model. High consistency in the medium and high frequencies among the three designed and off-designed rotation speeds indicates that the RI-TP model has the ability to predict turbine broadband noise rapidly. And compared with the original RANS-informed method, with one thin-flat-plate assumption on the blade, the RI-TP model can enhance the PWL (sound power level) in almost the whole spectral range below 10 KHz, which, in turn, is closer to the experimental data and the DDES/AA prediction results. The PWL trend with a ?dividing point? position is also studied. The spectrum would move up or down if the location is away from true value. In addition, the extraction location for turbulence as an input for the RI-TP model is negligible. In the future, multi-stage characteristics and the blade thickness effect should be further considered when predicting turbine noise.
