Flinovia - Flow Induced Noise and Vibration Issues and Aspects

Abstract

Wall pressure fluctuations induced on a rigid wall by a turbulent boundary layer in supersonic regime are the subject of the present review. The sound and vibration of the structure subjected to the correlated fluctuating forces are modeled and predicted presuming the knowledge of a forcing function related to the wavenumber–frequency spectrum of the boundary layer pressures. In this framework the main results obtained in measurements of equilibrium supersonic turbulent boundary layers and in recent numerical simulations are reviewed evidencing the actual limitations of both methodologies. More emphasis is devoted to the experimental and numerical analysis made by the authors respectively on the pressure field generated on the external surface of a launcher model and on the modelization of the pressure coherence function generated by a supersonic flow in different conditions over a flat plate.
