The paper outlines the latest improvements to a CFD/CAA numerical system developed by the authors starting in 2001, and presents its application to the evaluation of three noise-reduction concepts. The improvements include a two-step RANS-LES approach to represent complex nozzles much more faithfully, and an accurate algorithm for shock capturing in LES, now based on local automatic activation of flux-limiters. The noise-reduction concepts considered are: beveled nozzles, dual nozzles with fan-flow deflection, and chevron nozzles. The simulations are carried out on PC clusters with at most six processors and on rather modest grids (2–4 million nodes). Nonetheless, in most cases the system is close to the 2–3 dB target accuracy both in terms of directivity and spectrum, while limited in terms of frequency (to a diameter Strouhal number that ranges from 2 to 4, depending on the grid used and the flow regime). Although this limitation is significant, especially for chevron nozzles, the overall message of the paper is that the available CFD/CAA numerical and physical models, properly combined, are capable of predicting the noise of rather complex jets with affordable computational resources, and already today can be helpful in the rapid low-cost analysis of noise-reduction concepts.

This paper presents a study regarding the noise reduction of the turbojet engine, in particular the jet noise of a micro turbojet engine. The results of the measurement campaign are presented followed by a performances analysis which is based on the measured data by the test bench. Within the tests, beside the baseline nozzle other two nozzles with chevrons were tested and evaluated. First type of nozzle is foreseen with eight triangular chevrons, the length of the chevrons being L = 10 percentages from the equivalent diameter and an immersion angle of I = 0 deg. For the second nozzle the length and the immersion angle were maintained, only the chevrons number were increased at 16. The micro turbojet engine has been tested at four different regimes of speed. The engine performances were monitored by measuring the fuel flow, the temperature in front of the turbine, the intake air flow, the compression ratio, the propulsion force and the temperature before the compressor. In addition, during the testing, the vibrations were measured on axial and radial direction which indicate a normal functioning of the engine during the chevron nozzles testing. Regarding the noise, it was concluded that at low regimes the noise doesn’t presents any reduction when using the chevron nozzles, while at high regimes an overall noise reduction of 2–3 dB(A) was achieved. Regarding the engine performances, a decrease in the temperature in front of the turbine, compression ratio and the intake air and fuel flow was achieved and also a drop of few percent of the propulsion force.

The jet noise reduction of chevron nozzles was investigated on high bypass ratio turbofan engine separated exhaust system using both computational predictions and scale model experiments. Six different exhaust nozzles are designed including one baseline nozzle and five different chevron nozzles. The jet noise experiments were carried out in the anechoic chamber. Tam and Auriault’s jet noise prediction theory and MGBK theory were used to predict the noise spectra of different exhaust nozzles. The results show that the far-field noise spectra as well as the noise reduction benefits of chevrons are predicted correctly by the two theories although some discrepancies occur at the high frequency range, and Tam and Auriault’s jet noise theory can give relatively more accurate prediction results. chevron nozzles reduce jet noise at the low frequencies, but increase it at high frequencies.

The experimental analysis is conducted for jet noise reduction of separate flow chevron pylon-based nozzles at takeoff condition. The experimental results indicate that the pylon makes a noise reduction at low-frequency but produces an increase at high-frequency, together with an overall sound pressure reduction below the pylon. Compared to chevron nozzle without pylon, the adding of a pylon reduces noise benefit of chevron nozzles found in the isolated nozzle without a pylon. The best low-frequency noise reduction is located below the pylon where peak noise reduction is as high as about 1.3dB on frequency spectrum.

The basic results of calculation and research works carried out in the process of creation of power unit of regional passenger airplanes’ family are given. The design features of the propulsion engines and engine of the auxiliary power plant are described. The aforementioned propulsion system includes propulsion engines D-436-148 and engine AI-450-MS of auxiliary power plant. In order to comply with the requirements of Section 4 of the ICAO standard (noise reduction of the aircraft in site), in part of ensuring the noise reduction of engines, when creating the power plant of the An-148/An-158 aircraft family, a single- and double-layer acoustic filler was used in the structure of the engine nacelle and air intake. The use of electronic system for automatic control of propulsion engines such as FADEC and its integration into the digital airborne aircraft complex ensured the operation of engines, included in the power plant provided with high specific fuel consumption, as well as increased the level of automation of the power plant control and monitoring, and ensured aircraft automation landing in ICAO category 3A. In addition, the use of the aforementioned electronic system, allowed to operate the power plant of the aircraft in accordance with technical status. The use of the AI-450-MS auxiliary power plant with an electronic control system such as FADEC, and the drive of the service compressor from a free turbine, eliminated the effect of changes in power and air takeoff, on the deviation of the engine from optimal mode, which also minimized the fuel consumption. The use of fuel metering system TIS-158, allowed to ensure control of its condition and assemblies, without the use of auxiliary devices, built-in control means. In the fire protection system, the use of the electronic control and monitor unit, as well as the use of digital serial code for the exchange of information between the elements of the system and the aircraft systems, has reduced the number of connections, which increased the reliability of the system and reduced its weight characteristics.

Ecological requirements for cars grow from year to year, both in the world as a whole, and in Ukraine in particular. This is especially true of noise pollution. Additionally, noise reduction becomes relevant, taking into account the conduct of military operations during the last 5 years on the territory of Ukraine. The war has caused a special need for military vehicles for which masking properties are vital. Noise is a serious disincentive factor. Therefore, its reduction for a military vehicle, apart from the environmental aspect, is of a purely military nature, that is, it is extremely important. The car has many sources of noise there are many ways to deal with them. One of the most powerful source of noise is the sleeping bag. This kind of noise is reduced by means of silencers of noise. The vast majority of silencer data in the basis of its design has a reactive (or resonant) muffler. To calculate the jet silencer you must know the speed of sound in the sleeping bags. In order to increase the acoustic efficiency of reactive and resonant mufflers of exhaust gases noise of the ICE of cars, an experimental method was proposed for determining the speed of sound in the sleighs. Implementation of the method is carried out by measuring the attenuation of acoustic waves. The noise level of the bedrooms is measured without silencer and silencer. Based on the data obtained, the noise reduction performance of the residual is established. From the well-known formula, based on the calculation of the efficiency of the silencing of a jet muffler, a formula is obtained for calculating the speed of sound in the sleeping quays. In this formula, all parameters are known: the level of silencer efficiency, the noise level of the sleeping, the ratio of areas of cross sections of the muffler and the inlet pipe and the length of the muffler. The sound speed thus established can continue to be used not only for engines of the type for which measurements and calculations were made, but also with a certain approximation for some other types of engines. This method provides high accuracy for determining the required parameter. In the given work on the example of the armored car KrAZ “Fiona” the calculation of efficiency increase of the reactive silencer is made due to the above-mentioned method. Also, the projected decrease in the external noise level of the KrAZ Armored Vehicle “Fiona” is considered by determining the speed of sound in the recesses on the trunk cycle on the road with acceleration up to speed of 50 km/h (75 km/h) and the movement with this speed, as well as when driving at a speed of 45 km/h.
