Abstract
This paper summarizes an analytical model approach for calculating flow induced sound from either elastic or rigid surfaces with small roughness. The analytical approach used here provides a result for both the wave number-frequency spectrum of the structure’s excitation pressure and the structure’s response to that pressure and can be applied to many types of uneven surfaces, such as those on which are dispersed 2 or 3 dimensional deterministic or random geometric shape irregularities. This paper is focused on 3 dimensional distributed roughness elements. The shape of the unevenness protrudes into the boundary layer above it, acting as a flow spoiler and generating forces and wakes in the immediate region of the roughness element. It is assumed that these shapes are small and in the range of 10 to several hundred viscous scales. We will discuss the effects of surface elasticity on the ability of these sources to produce sound in regions both above the surface (on the flow side for both elastic and inelastic surfaces) and below the surface on the quiescent fluid side (in the case of elastic surfaces). A method for modeling forcing functions will also be presented in the context of the overall theory. The unevenness is presumed to be small enough, or of such a nature, as to not affect the basic elasticity of the surface. In the subject case of rough walls, analytical results will be compared with both aero-acoustics measurements made in multiple facilities and large eddy simulations. All research was made possible by a recent program sponsored by the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Research.

Notes

Note that depending on the lateral correlation length of the surface pressure on a forward or backward-facing step, see Sect. 5, one may require adjustment of these results to a line rather than a point force response.
