Assessing the shielding of engine noise by the wings for current aircraft using model predictions and measurements.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 2018 January
Reducing aircraft noise is a major issue to be dealt with by the aerospace industry. In addition to lowering noise emissions from the engine and airframe, also the shielding of engine noise by the aircraft is considered as a promising means for reducing the perceived noise on the ground. In literature, noise shielding predictions indicate significant reductions in received noise levels for blended wing body configurations, but also for conventional aircraft with the engines placed above the wings. Little work has been done in assessing these potential shielding effects for full aircraft under real operational conditions. Therefore, in this work, noise shielding for current aircraft is investigated using both measurements and model predictions. The predictions are based on the Kirchhoff integral theory and the Modified Theory of Physical Optics. For the comparison between the predictions and measurements, Twenty Fokker 70 flyovers are considered. The data analysis approach for the extraction of shielding levels for aircraft under these operational conditions is presented. Directly under the flight path, the simulations predict an engine noise shielding of 6 dB overall sound pressure level. This is confirmed by some of the flyover data. On average, the measurements show somewhat lower shielding levels.
