By solving unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equation based on C-type structural mesh and γ - Re ˜ θ t transition model, the aerodynamic characteristics of the NACA0012 airfoil at different turbulence intensities was calculated and compared with the experimental results, which verifies the reliability of the numerical method. The predicted leading-edge noise is significantly affected by the dissipation range, causing a decrease in level of up to 17 dB for the highest frequencies.Ī numerical study was conducted on the influence of turbulence intensity and Reynolds number on the mean topology and transition characteristics of flow separation to provide better understanding of the unsteady jet flow of turboelectric distributed propulsion (TeDP) aircraft. The expressions proposed to predict the dissipation frequency and the dissipation range had a fairly good agreement with the measured data in this research and with experimental data from the literature. These results showed that the dissipation frequency depends on the intensity of the velocity fluctuations and on the freestream velocity. Two passive grids were used to generate nearly isotropic inflow turbulence, which was characterized by hot-wire anemometry. In this study, empirical formulations are presented for the dissipation frequency and the dissipation range based on experimental data. However, this model does not incorporate the dissipation range of the turbulent energy and leads to incorrect far-field noise estimates in the high-frequency range. The von Kármán energy spectrum accurately models the energy-containing range and inertial subrange of the turbulence spectrum.

The Amiet leading-edge noise prediction model is widely applied in the design of silent propellers and fans, strongly relying on the accuracy of the inflow turbulence spectrum. And we are excited to bring those capabilities to help create and grow this new business with Siemens.Noise pollution caused by inflow turbulence is a major problem in many applications, e.g., propellers and fans. “Chromalloy continues to be a leader in providing innovative, high-technology manufacturing capabilities for gas turbine engines.

“Continuing to build our partnership is very important and shows the value we place in each other’s capabilities and expertise. “Chromalloy is excited to take our relationship with Siemens to the next level,” said Carlo Luzzatto, president of Chromalloy. We will continue our established key casting supplier partnerships and all the existing long-term agreements will be executed,” Meixner added. Our new joint venture will exclusively supply Siemens with casting components for our gas turbines. “Siemens and Chromalloy already have a long-lasting supplier relationship. In the last 15 years Siemens has invested US$50 billion in the United States. Siemens has more than 60 manufacturing sites and approximately 50 000 employees in the U.S. “The decision to form a joint venture and a new production facility continues our strong commitment to the US as a business location,” said Willi Meixner, CEO of the Siemens Power and Gas Division.

Startup part qualifications and production shipments are in process at Chromalloy’s existing facility. The stand-alone manufacturing plant will supply only to Siemens. The facility is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2018. The groundbreaking of the new manufacturing facility is scheduled to take place later this year, but the location is being finalized and multiple Southern states are under evaluation. This investment will create up to 350 new jobs in the United States. have entered a partnership to form a new joint venture called Advanced Airfoil Components that will supply Siemens with turbine blade and vane cast components for power generation.īoth partners are investing approximately US$130 million in combined value to create a new production facility.
