Reduction Effect

Superhydrophobic surface is a promising technology, but the effect of superhydrophobic surface on flow noise is still unclear. Therefore, we used alternating free-slip and no-slip boundary conditions to study the flow noise of superhydrophobic channel flows with streamwise strips. The numerical calculations of the flow and the sound field have been carried out by the methods of large eddy simulation (LES) and Lighthill analogy, respectively. Under a constant pressure gradient (CPG) condition, the average Reynolds number and the friction Reynolds number are approximately set to 4200 and 180, respectively. The influence on noise of different gas fractions (GF) and strip number in a spanwise period on channel flow have been studied. Our results show that the superhydrophobic surface has noise reduction effect in some cases. Under CPG conditions, the increase in GF increases the bulk velocity and weakens the noise reduction effect. Otherwise, the increase in strip number enhances the lateral energy exchange of the superhydrophobic surface, and results in more transverse vortices and attenuates the noise reduction effect. In our results, the best noise reduction effect is obtained as 10.7 dB under the scenario of the strip number is 4 and GF is 0.5. The best drag reduction effect is 32%, and the result is obtained under the scenario of GF is 0.8 and strip number is 1. In summary, the choice of GF and the number of strips is comprehensively considered to guarantee the performance of drag reduction and noise reduction in this work.

Reduction Effect

In this paper, the pipeline with guide vanes was taken as the research object, the flow noise was studied based on the hybrid calculation method, then the acoustic-structure coupling method was introduced to study the vibration and radiation noise, and then explored the best position of the guide vanes. Based on the pipeline experimental platform and improved experimental methods, it was found that the guide vanes had a better noise reduction effect on the elbows; based on that, a simulation study was carried out on the elbow with guide vanes, and the mechanism of the guide vanes on the velocity field and pulsating pressure of the pipeline was explored. Finally, the noise reduction effect at different positions of the guide vanes under different flow speeds was studied. The results indicated that the guide vane at the middle of the elbow had the best effect on improving the flow field and reducing noise in the working conditions studied in this article, providing a calculation basis for the design of the guide vane.

Serrated Structure

The drag and noise reduction of the flow around a cylinder is one of the important topics in hydrodynamics and acoustics. In this paper, three typical bionic cylinders are designed based on the serrated structure on the surface of shark skin. Using Large eddy turbulence model and Lighthill’s acoustic analogy method, the flow noise characteristics of smooth cylinder and three kinds of bionic cylinders at different Reynolds numbers were compared, and the structure of cylinder surface was optimized. The results show that the main source of the flow noise around a cylinder is dipole noise, which is caused by the periodic fluctuating pressure on the cylinder surface.The bionic cylinder can reduce the amplitude of the fluctuating pressure, improve the wake flow field and reduce the wake vorticity, so as to reduce the noise. Among the three kinds of bionic cylinder, V-shaped bionic cylinder has the best noise reduction effect, and the critical value of S/H of V-shaped cylinder is about 2.5. When s / h > 2.5, V-shaped bionic cylinder has no effect of noise reduction.
