Description:
The purpose of the experimental program reported herein was to define the length of multiple pure tone (MPT) treatment required to reasonably suppress the MPT's produced by a supersonic tip speed fan and also determine what other suppression, broadband, and blade passing frequency (BPF), might be accomplished. The experimental results are presented in terms of both far-field and duct acoustic data. Front quadrant sound power level reduction in the far field is shown to agree with duct measurements over the range of treatment lengths. Detailed one-third octave and narrow band spectra at the maximum forward noise angle are presented. Some detailed analyses of one-third-octave band amplitudes are shown as a function of far-field angle. An approximate spinning mode duct propagation analysis is then introduced which predicts the acoustic suppression by the treatment on the multiple pure tones.
