Besides the high computational cost of finding the rotor airloads themselves, which almost certainly will involve the use of unsteady aerodynamic models and free-vortex wake models (see Section 10.7.6). The net sound field, therefore, comprises complicated interfering omnidirectional traveling sound waves, but often highly focused, acoustic wave paths are produced as well. Tne nigniy j-d unsteady aerodynamics produced ny tne various cvi events on tne oiaues give rise to multiple noise sources with different directivity and phase relationships. The BVI noise problem can be especially acute during descending low speed forward flight or during maneuvering flight, where the tip vortices tend to lie closer to the rotor. BVI noise can become stronger when the leading edge of the blade becomes parallel to the axis of the tip vortex, which occurs primarily on the advancing and retreating sides of the rotor disk in forward flight. See Widnall (1971), George (1978), Schmitz & Yu (1986), and Schmitz (1991) for detailed discussions of the BVI noise phenomenon. Adapted from Edwards & Cox (2002).Ī large proportion of noise is generated by the unsteady aerodynamic forces, such as interactions of the blades with the wake or with discrete tip vortices, the so-called В VI problem, which has been discussed previously in Section 8.16.4. A plethora of models exist to predict helicopter rotor acoustics these ranging from purely empirical methods to wave tracing methods, to blade element type unsteady aerodynamics models coupled with Ffowcs Williams-Hawking’s (FW-H) methods, to modern CFD-type methods.įigure 8.43 Helicopter noise has many different sources and appears at many different frequencies with different intensities. Other types of noise, called broadband noise, comes from a variety of sources such as boundary layer noise, airframe noise, including ingestion of other parts of the wake and turbulence into the rotor. Engine noise tends to be at higher frequencies. The tail rotor (if one is used) is also a contributor to the overall noise spectrum of a helicopter, tail rotor noise being of higher frequency and often appearing over a wider range of frequencies. There are two types of discrete frequency noise, namely blade vortex interaction or BVI noise and high-speed impulsive or HSI noise – see Fig. It is often referred to as discrete frequency noise. One obtrusive source of noise from a helicopter is from the main rotor, which generally occurs at low frequency and high amplitude. There is also a need to abate noise to reduce detectability in military helicopter operations. Today there are strict certification and community noise constraints that apply to helicopters, especially during takeoffs and landings – see Lowson (1992). The field of aerodynamically generated noise is called aeroacoustics and in the case of helicopter rotors it involves several distinct areas of study – see Schmitz (1991) and Brentner & Farassat (2003). The intensity and directivity of the noise generated by a helicopter is of considerable importance in both civilian and military operations.
