Aeroacoustic investigation of a single airfoil tip leakage flow
Résumé
Combined near and far field aeroacoustic measurements have been carried out during an original laboratory scale low Mach number (0-0.3) experiment about the tip leakage flow past a single non-rotating airfoil. Such measurements were made possible by the use of a single airfoil located in the potential core of an open jet flow in the anechoic wind tunnel of the Ecole Centrale de Lyon. The airfoil was mounted between two flat plates. A strong tip clearance flow was achieved without rotation by paying a special attention to the choice of the airfoil which was a 5% camber, 10% thickness NACA5510 airfoil that provided a high lift at a 15° angle of attack. The experiment gave rise to an extensive data set obtained with several flow velocity measurement techniques (HWA, LDA, PIV), steady and unsteady pressure measurements on the airfoil and the casing plate as well as far field pressure measurements. Further, cross-analyses of various velocity and pressure signals allowed to locating sources and identifying their mechanisms. Results showed evidence of two components of tip leakage broadband self noise.
