Sound Generation from Fluid Flow

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling sound generation from turbulent fluid flow through micro annuli, specifically in a cement cylinder setup. Key points include the role of vortex shedding and micro vortices in creating pressure fluctuations that transmit sound. The researcher is examining both incompressible liquids and compressible gases, considering factors like fluid purity and flow rate variations. Additional resources on fluid-structure interactions and acoustics are suggested for further understanding. The goal is to accurately model noise generated as fluid accelerates through the micro annuli.

Hi guys,

I am involved in some research on modelling sound from fluids through mirco annuli and i have been trying to get some of the basic fundamentals on generation of sounds from turbulent flow. Unfortunately most of the online literature do not give much details on the physics of such mechanism.

I hope you guys could provide me with some principels:

From my understanding, turbulence generate sound due to vortex shedding and micro vortices which generates pressure fluctuation within the fluid (i am not sure if this is correct) - these will transmittet through the structure and be recorded by the reciver on the other side of the annuli. (my model is a cement cylindre with a mirco annuli in the centre, where we throttle fluid across the cylindre - receiver is placed on the outside of the cylindre in liquid)

However, our case is to modelling the noise which is generated as the fluid is accelerated through the micro annuli.Thank you all so much for you help!

Is the fluid an incompressible liquid, or a compressible gas?
Is the fluid pure, or are there lumps in the fluid that will change the flow rate?

I am sorry for not stressing this issue in my previous thread!

Both! I.e., I will model a case with incompressible liquid (oil) and one case with compressible fluid (gas).

Pure fluid with an decrease in the "leak" rate, in this manner you could considere the system as a system with overpressure which is bleed of to allow migration of the fluid through the micro annulus.

Hope this helps!

Thank you! :-)
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
