A methodology to study numerically the aeroacoustic response of low Mach number confined flows to acoustic excitations is presented. The approach combines incompressible flow computations, vortex sound theory, and system identification techniques, and is applied here to study the behavior of a two-dimensional laminar flow through a T-joint. Comparison with experimental results available in literature shows that the computed source models capture the main physical mechanisms of the sound production in the shear layer of the T-joint.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
