Abstract The purpose of this paper is to describe the current status of open rotor noise prediction methods and to highlight future challenges in this area. A number of analytic and numerical methods are described which can be used for predicting ‘isolated’ and ‘installed’ open rotor tonal noise. Broadband noise prediction methods are also described and it is noted that further development and validation of the current models is required. The paper concludes with a discussion of the analytical methods which are used to assess the acoustic data collected during the high-speed wind-tunnel testing of a model scale advanced open rotor rig.

Abstract In this paper, a novel Contra-Rotating Open Rotor (CROR) noise reduction methodology based upon the anhedral blade tip applied to the front blade is developed. Results indicate that anhedral blade tip can provide noise reduction over 60 deg. polar angle range in both upstream and downstream areas at takeoff condition. The noise reduction becomes more significant as the lean angle of anhedral blade tip increases, and the maximum noise reduction is over 4 dB. Further analysis shows that anhedral blade tip decreases the strength and size of blade tip vortex shed from the front blade, and reduces its interaction with the rear rotor, which decreases the fluctuation of loading acting on the rear rotor and its loading noise. Furthermore, the anhedral blade tip does not have strong effect on the aerodynamic performance of CROR at cruise.
