Abstract

Abstract : Theoretical and numerical analyses are made of the mechanism of sound production by nominally steady low Mach number flow over a rigid shallow wall cavity. At very low Mach numbers the dominant source of sound is the unsteady drag, and the aeroacoustic dipole source accompanying this force. A monopole source dependent on the compression of fluid within the cavity is smaller by a factor of the order of the flow Mach number M. However, numerical simulations for M as small as 0.1 have predicted significant radiation in directions normal to the wall. This anomaly is investigated by using an acoustic Green's function tailored to cavity geometry. The Green's function is extended to examine the production of sound by vortex shedding at lock-on' from a cross-beam adjacent
