Oe possble hybd method amog othes s to use CFD the ea-feld povdes put data fo a acoustc tegal fomulato to calculate adated ose. I ths wo a steady state CFD aalyss of a axal fa s caed out to get the chaactestc cuve ad the boadbad ose emsso of the fa. A usteady state flow smulato s caed out fo the CA usg the FW-H aalogy [1], whch s based o Lghthll s Acoustc Aalogy (LAA) [] deved fom the cosevato equato of mass ad mometum.. PROBLEM FORMULATION The vestgated axal fa cotas sucto ad pessue chael o the left ad ght sde espectvely. A s suced by the fa though the let ozzle followed by the aechoc chael ad sucto chael. O the pessue sde at the ed of the aechoc chael a choe seves fo adustg the fa wog pots. The total soud powe s measued the sucto chael ad pessue chael. The fa has a.% elatve gap, defed as τ s /. The otatoal speed was ept gap D IB costat at s -1.. THE HYBRID APPROACH.1 Flow feld The flow feld s modelled wth the ealzable -epslo two equato tubulece model [] fo the Reyolds-aveaged Nave-Stoes (RANS) equato. Ths model cotas a taspot equato fo the dsspato ate based o the dyamc equato of the mea-squae votcty fluctuato ad a fomulato fo the tubulet vscosty µ t volvg a vaable C whch esues the postve µ omal stesses. It s mathematcally descbed by the followg equatos (1-): η C1 max.4,, η+ 5 η SΩ, S S Ω 1 ( S S u u + ) I these equatos, G ad G b deotes the geeato of tubulece etc eegy due to the mea velocty gadets ad buoyacy espectvely.

S ad S ae use-defed souce tems.. Acoustc feld..1 Boadbad model Dect smulato ad acoustc aalogy methods ae vey tme expesve. Fo desg pupose a detaled acoustc fomato s ofte ot eeded, so that boadbad models ca be suffcet. Boadbad models eque oly fomato extacted fom steady RANS calculatos (mea flow feld, tubulet etc eegy, ad the dsspato ate ). The soud eegy s dstbuted ove a boad age of fequeces. The fst type of a boadbad models s deved by Poudma [4] fo sotopc tubulece ose (quadupole souces) usg Lghthll's acoustc aalogy. A othe type of the boadbad models s based o the Lghthll-Cule s [5] equato fo dpole ose, whch ases tubulet bouday laye ea a sold body suface. The boadbad models ae developed fo specfc poblems ad ot applcable geeal. They ae lmted to the boadbad ose chaactestcs pedcto ad do ot povde ay toal fomato. t t wth ( ρ) + ( ρu ) ( ρ) + ( ρu ) ρc S 1 μ t μ + x σ + G +G ρ Y + S ρc +C1 + ν b μ t μ + x σ + C M G b + S (1) ().. The FW- H tegal methods The Lghthll equato s oly applcable to cases wthout a body wth the flud. Cule [5] exteded the Lghthll equato to ovecome ths estct. Late Ffowcs Wllams-Hawgs (FW-H) [1] exteded the Lghthll-Cule s equato futhe ad povded a stadad appoach fo the pedcto of ose ogated fom otatg blades. Moe ecetly, usg the so called pemeable suface fomulato, the FW-H equato s capable to pedct the soud geeated by equvalet acoustc souces such as moopoles, dpoles ad quadupoles. Assumg a suface S : f ( x, t) to be a close movg suface pemeable to the flud, whch evey teacto of sold suface ad the

Accodg to Fg. 1 FW-H [1] exteds the Lghthll s acoustc equato by combg mass ad mometum equatos of flud mechacs usg the Heavsde fucto H ( f ) to the followg equato: 1 a t x p' t p' {[ ρ( u v ) + ρ v ] δ( f )} [ P + ρu ( u v )] δ( f ) { } { T H ( f )} + () The ght-had sde equato () ae souce tems fo the wave equato. The fst two tems o the ght-had sde ae the thcess, loadg ose souces espectvely ad behave le moopole ad dpole souce tem. The last tem s a volume tem, whch s called quadupole souce tem dstbuted the aeodyamc feld exteo to souce (emsso) suface, ad s the double dvegece of the Lghthll s stess teso: T ρu u + P a ρ ) δ wth P f > f < u pδ µ ( ρ (4) u + u f S : f ( x, t) Fgue 1. The pemeable tegato suface δ (5) Oe ca get Reyolds stess teso ρ u u fom tme-aveaged Lghthll s stess teso. Because of popagato effect o the adato path betwee the souces of the petubatos ad the obseve, all the ght-had sde souce tems ae geeally eglgble outsde a lmted doma (souce doma). By tegato of equato (), the fst ad secod tem lead to a suface tegal whle the thd tems leads to a volume tegal o a ego of space V outsde of to the tegato suface. Whe f cocdes wth the body suface, usg the mpemeablty codto u v ad the Gee s fucto ad eglectg the quadupole souce tem, equato () leads to the followg tegal fom. 4πp ( x,t) ρ U + U ds + f (1 ) τ ρ U { M + a ( M f (1 ) 1 L ds a + f (1 ) τ L L M ds + f (1 ) τ 1 L { M + a ( M a f (1 ) wheeτ t / a ad U L v / ( + ρ ρ u P ˆ + ρu ( u v ) v ) )} ds + τ )} τ ds (6) (7) Ths acoustc fomulato s based o Faassat s [6] 1A soluto of the FW-H equato. The 1A fomulato s a soluto of the FW-H equato fo thcess ad loadg ose souces obtaed by tegato o the body suface ad eglectg the quadupole tem. The FW-H aalogy s wdely used fo lea aeo-acoustc poblems such as the flow though fa mpelle.

Aoud the fa tetaede elemets ae used to efe the mesh fo captug the flow feld moe exactly. The mesh cossts of 1.7eG elemets. The let s defed as a massflow let ad the outlet s specfed as a pessue outlet. The fa s modelled wth the foze-oto appoach fo steady state smulato ad sldg mesh appoach fo usteady state smulato. The mateal data of a desty of 1.5 g/m ad a dyamc vscosty of e-5 Pa.s ae used. The flud s dealed as compessble.

RESULTS COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENT The smulatos ae caed out wth FLUENT Each steady state smulato u taes appoxmately 4 days ad the taset smulatos 7 days o a Itel XEON-pocessos wth Quadcoes mache ug Lux. Fg. shows the total pessue se acheved fom steady state smulato, compaso wth expemet data gaed by Kastadt [9]. It shows deal total pessue se (ψ deal ) ad total pessue se loss (ψ V ) all vaables ae elato to the effcecy optmum. The dffeece betwee the calculated/expemetal data ad ths deal oe s pessue se loss. The dmesoless total pessue se ad mass flux ae defed as follows: 4Q ϕ π DIB (8) pt ψ ρπ D IB Fom the measued o smulated values the deal cuve ad the pessue loss s gaed ψ ψ deal, ψ V ψ deal ψ. η (9) Thee s a clea dffeece betwee the computato ad measuemets what epesets a aveage dffeece of about 1% total pessue se. The cuves of deal total pessue se fom smulato ad expemet should be theoetcaly detcal. The dffeece of these two cuves s due to eo smulato ad expemet as well. I compaso to expemet, lage total pessue se ad lowe total pessue se loss ae acheved fom smulato. The easos fo ths dffeece ae as follows: a) Thee s a small dffeet agle of gude vae betwee smulato ad expemet. b) The used tubulece model s ealzable - epslo model. I ths model C µ, used fo calculato tubulet vscosty µ t, s ot a costat as the stadad -epslo [8] model, but a fucto of the mea sta, otato ates, the agula velocty of the system otato, ad the tubulece felds ( ad epslo). C µ cludes a tem of the agula velocty due to the system otato. Accodg to [7] smulato wth ths tem s oly tested fo sgle otatg efeece fame. Howeve, t has bee mult otatg efeece fame system ths wo, whch ths tubulece model poduces o-physcal tubulet vscostes. c) The usteady flow s smplfed as steady flow the smulato to save CPU-tme. Fg. shows the effcecy compaso wth expemet data. The dffeece betwee these two cuves s about 5%. Fg. 4 shows the esults of tubulece testy whch s defed as: Fgue.
