“…1,2 Many feasible and efficient integral methods are available for noise prediction, these include the classical Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) equation, 3,4 the Kirchhoff approach, 5,6 and the FW-H_pds (Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings equation with permeable surface) equation. 7,8 Significant progress has been made in the development of these existing integral methods, and they are now widely used. In helicopters, strong blade-tip vortices are shed, and unsteady non-uniform downwash flowfield is induced by the motion of the rotor which affects the propagation of rotor noise.…”
