Noise generation mechanisms of a micro-tube porous trailing edge

Chaoyang Jiang, Danielle Moreau, Charitha de Silva, Con Doolan

Summary: This study numerically investigates the noise generation and flow characteristics of a forced-transitioned NACA 0012 airfoil with a micro-tube porous trailing edge. The results show that the micro tube structure reduces low-frequency trailing-edge noise and induces additional high-frequency noise through flow permeation. The interaction between flow permeation and boundary layer turbulence is the main cause for the noise reduction.

Complex frequency analysis and source of losses in rectangular sonic black holes

Viktor Hruska, Jean-Philippe Groby, Michal Bednarik

Summary: This study numerically and experimentally analyzes the amount and practical source of losses required for rectangular sonic black holes in air to effectively absorb low-frequency sound. The results show that in the presence of solely viscothermal losses, only high-order Fabry-Perrot resonances are likely to be critically coupled in realistic rectangular sonic black holes, resulting in absorption peaks that do not reach unity at low frequencies. To solve this issue, slits of rectangular sonic black holes are partially filled with porous materials, which significantly improves the absorption coefficient, especially at frequencies below the viscous/inertial transition frequency of the porous material.

A comprehensive Cosserat rod drill-string model for arbitrary well geometry that includes the dynamics of the cutting and lateral contact

Hector E. Goicoechea, Roberta Lima, Fernando S. Buezas, Rubens Sampaio

Summary: In this paper, a comprehensive continuous Cosserat rod model is developed to study the dynamics of a drill-string. The model can simulate the 3-D dynamics of the system, including lateral, axial and torsional motion, and includes damping effects and a velocity-independent bit-rock interaction formulation. The study compares the model's predictions with two other models and finds divergences in the signals obtained with the Cosserat model, indicating that the new continuous approach can capture aspects of the dynamics that cannot be modeled with low-dimensional representations. The study also evaluates the drilling efficiency and finds that axial oscillations have a positive effect on drilling performance, while torsional stick-slip has a negative effect.

Summary: This paper presents a combined semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) and perfectly matched layer method for accurately predicting the dispersion, attenuation, and polarization modes of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in materials. The method is validated by comparing the simulated results with exact three-dimensional elasticity theory-based solutions, and the effects of material anisotropy and residual stress on SAWs are discussed. The method is also applied to practical examples and the differences and similarities of two common acoustoelastic theories are discussed.

Revisiting the frozen gust assumption through the aeroacoustic scattering of wavepackets by a semi-infinite plate

Sonya Tiomkin, Justin W. Jaworski

Summary: This paper presents an analytic solution for the aerodynamic noise generated by a traveling wavepacket passing near the edge of a rigid semi-infinite flat plate. The solution is derived in the time domain for a wavepacket of either constant or spatially-varying wavenumber, and novel expressions are obtained for the incident and scattered sound fields. The study shows that the wavenumber modification has a significant effect on the incident field but not on the scattered field amplitude, while the phase difference between the incident and scattered fields depends strongly on the spatial variation in the wavepacket wavenumber.
