An Experimental Investigation into the Relative Contribution of Potential Flow and Wake Interaction to Discrete Frequency Sound Pressure Generation in Axial Flow Fans
The development of an experimental technique to enable the separate contributions of potential flow interaction and wake interaction to the total sound pressure level generated adjacent to the interacting blade rows to be determined. The physical situation considered was that of a row of rotating blades preceded by a single inlet guide vane similar to that investigated by Fincher (1)†.
