Abstract

A ray acoustics approach to fuselage scattering of rotor noise is considered. The method is based on a combination of classical geometrical acoustics and the paraxial ray approximation. The method can handle scattering by objects of arbitrary shapes and can be applied in an inhomogeneous moving medium. Applications to aeroacoustics include the scattering of blade vortex interaction (BVI) pulses by rigid scattering objects. The BVI is modeled by a rotating impulsive point force. It has been found that scattering effects of rotating sources cannot be ignored. Flow has also been found to cause a modification and displacement of the directivity pattern and the shadow zones behind scatterers.
