Abstract

A computational approach is proposed to extract the acoustic sources generated by low Mach number flow past a circular cylinder and to predict the associated far-field acoustic pressure. The transient hydrodynamic flow field is calculated using an incompressible computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. The acoustic sources are extracted from the hydrodynamic flow field based on the linearised perturbed compressible equations (LPCE). These acoustic sources are combined with a boundary element method (BEM) model of a rigid circular cylinder and the far field sound pressure level is predicted. The results from this hybrid CFD/BEM approach are presented for flow past a circular cylinder with Reynolds number, Re D=100 and Mach number, M=0.15. The directivity of the radiated sound pressure field at the vortex shedding frequency agrees well with results of alternate methods available in the literature.
