Abstract

Fan is one of the noise sources in a modern engine. The fan noise is especially noticeable during takeoff at high angular rotation speeds. In such operating modes, supersonic flow around the tips of the fan blades is realized, which leads to the formation of shock waves that propagate upstream until they exit of the engine channel. As a result, a specific noise is emitted into the front hemisphere, consisting of harmonics that are multiples of the fan rotation frequency. The paper analyzes the described effect based on a simple model of the propagation of a shock waves system. By using energy analysis, it is shown that the system of shock waves with equal amplitude decays faster than a system of shock waves with a spread in amplitude.
