Abstract

Abstract : Sound field prediction has practical significance in the control of noise generated by sources in a flow, for example, the noise in aero-engines and ventilation systems. Aiming at accurate and flexible prediction of time-dependent sound field, a finite-difference wavenumber-time domain method for sound field prediction in a uniformly moving medium is proposed. The method is based on the second-order convective wave equation, and the wavenumber-time domain representation of the sound pressure field on one plane is forward propagated via a derived recursive expression. In this paper, the recursive expression is first deduced, and then numerical stability and dispersion of the proposed method are analyzed, based on which the stability condition is given and the correction of dispersion related to the transition frequency is made. Numerical simulations are conducted to test the performance of the proposed method, and the results show that the method is valid and robust at different Mach numbers.
