Sensitivity Analysis of Flow-Induced Vibration Noise from Elastic Plate with a Cavity

Article Preview

Abstract:

The flow-induced vibration noise generated by the elastic plate with cavity (EPC), which is a common structure on the surface of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), can not be ignored with the impact on the signal accuracy of the acoustic instruments mounted on the AUV. In this paper, the fluid-solid coupling vibration noise of elastic plate with a cavity has been modeling by the large eddy simulation (LES)-Lighthill equivalent source method. Then the fluctuation pressure spectrum of the flow field and the radiated noise field are analysed. According to the characteristic of the radiated noise field, the sensitivity of the sound power with respect to thickness of the EPC is calculated. Based on the results of sensitivity analysis, the flow-induced vibration noise generated by the EPC is reduced by local optimizing thickness of the EPC, with the premise of not increasing the structural weight.
