摘要
Airfoil tonal noise emission at low-to-moderate Reynolds number and flow conditions featuring a laminar separation bubble close to the trailing edge is often related to an aeroacoustic feedback mechanism and, therefore, the Mach number is a primary parameter for the flow field and noise generation. This study experimentally explores the effect of the Mach number on airfoil tonal noise generation in the nominally incompressible flow regime. Using airfoil profiles of different chord lengths, the Mach number is varied for a constant Reynolds number. Acoustic and flow field measurements for a range of combinations of Reynolds and Mach numbers were conducted. At zero incidence, the tonal noise regime in the Reynolds number domain is found to be sensitive to the Mach number. At non-zero angle of attack (2°), the noise generation is found to be dominated by vortex shedding over a separation bubble on the pressure side. The details of the separation bubble and shedding process depend on the Mach number. The frequencies of the dominant tones and the frequency intervals between tones increase with the Mach number. Moreover, the measured frequency interval can be collapsed using a relation based on the aeroacoustic feedback loop model. The relation is rewritten to separate the effects of the Reynolds and Mach numbers. As a result, the dependence on the Mach number is identified and tested. In contrast, the tonal noise level shows a more complex dependence on details of the laminar separation bubble and the vortex shedding process.
