Abstract
This paper studies vibrissa shaped cylinder as a passive control method for reducing the aerodynamic noise of the flow past a cylinder. One elliptical cylinder is also investigated for comparison. The far-field noise results show that compared with the cylinder case, the tonal peak almost disappears in the vibrissa shaped cylinder case and the sound pressure level (SPL) could be reduced by up to 30dB within the velocity range from 8m/s to 35m/s. The elliptical cylinder only shows a slight SPL reduction by about 4 dB with a shift in the tonal peak frequency from St=0.2 to St=0.39. Furthermore, some noticeable variations occur in the noise directivity pattern for the vibrissa shaped cylinder case. The shift in the tonal peak frequency, the reduction in noise and modifications in the noise directivity is related to the changing and breakdown of the vortex shedding caused by the interference with the elliptical and vibrissa shaped cylinder surfaces. The LES is conducted to the elliptical and vibrissa cylinder case for the fluid field information to further understand the mechanism of the noise reduction due to the vibrissa shaped cylinder and elliptical cylinder.
