Computational Aeroacoustics Based on Large Eddy Simulation and Acoustic Analogies
(2005)- Abstract
- The thesis presents a numerical method developed by the author and its applications for computing the generated sound by an unsteady flow field and its propagation.
The full equations of motion for compressible and unsteady flows describe both flow field and sound generation and propagation. It is assumed that the flow variables can be decomposed into semi-compressible / incompressible components and inviscid, irrotational acoustic components. The present method is based on Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to compute the turbulent flow and an approach based on an inhomogeneous wave equation to compute the radiated acoustic field. In this way one can avoid the necessity for a very large computational effort associated with...
