An acoustic analogy applied to the laminar upstream flow over an open 2D cavity

Journal article, 2005

In this work a modified version of the Lighthill-Curle's analogy is applied to study the near field acoustics of an upstream laminar flow past an open cavity. Three incompressible cases have been computed and are compared against the corresponding compressible results. The three incompressible cases are carried out with different time-step sizes, distances from the cavity trailing edge to the outlet and spatial resolution in the streamwise direction. The aim of the work is to study the differences in compressible and incompressible sources in Lighthill-Curle's equation and their influence on the sound radiated. To cite this article: J. Ask, L.
