Abstract

Measurements of flow noise produced by strip spoilers in the air duct of a ventilation system and radiated from an open exhaust termination unit into a reverberation chamber have been made. The results agree with the previous work of Nelson and Morfey [J. Sound Vib. 79, 263-289 (1981)]. Prediction of flow noise produced by multiple spoilers requires the values of the ratio of the mean drag forces that act on the spoilers, the phase relationship between the fluctuating drag forces that act on the spoilers, and the coherence function of the noise sources. The latter is empirically derived from the measured results, where the predicted results agree well with the experimental results within 3 dB at most frequencies except for very high frequencies.
