This is not the case for broadband noise. Thus, it is clear that further reductions in engine noise will require accurate prediction methods for the broadband noise to enable design decisions.\u00a0 Interaction noise from the fan-stage is a dominant broadband mechanism in a modern high bypass engine and is created by the interaction of the turbulence in the fan-wakes with the fan exit guide vanes (FEGVs).\u00a0 This project will leverage prior development of low-order models for the prediction of fan broadband interaction noise.\u00a0 Gaps in the low-order approach will be addressed based on knowledge gained from computation and experimentation.<\/p>\n<p>1st year 8\/10\/20-9\/1\/21. 2nd year 9\/10\/21-12\/30\/22, 3rd year 1\/23 &#8211; 12\/23<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to strong teamwork, we have demonstrated we can machine learn rotor wake flow information.\u00a0 RTRC researchers supplied the CFD results for 268 rotor cases.
