This study employs a numerical approach to investigate noise mechanisms in tandem cylinders. The tandem cylinder configuration is an excellent model for aircraft landing gear. The study is therefore primarily motivated by the need to understand the aircraft landing gear as a primary contributor to airframe noise during approach and landing. Fluctuations in the flow properties induced by turbulent flow around the tandem cylinders are computed and analyzed. A hybrid improved delayed detached eddy simulation turbulence model is employed to compute the boundary layer flow as well as to compute the fluctuations in the flow properties. The numerical methodologies for the turbulent flow computations are implemented on the OpenFOAM software platform. The study also considers the impact of neglecting the volume sources and employs two modified versions of Curle's and Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings analogies. The results are in good agreement with published numerical and experimental data in the existing literature.
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.
