Abstract:
The main aim of this study was to investigate noise reduction techniques for bluff body noise. Three methods were investigated, using a splitter plate on a fairing- strut configuration, applying flow control to the surface of a fairing and fitting a splitter plate behind a isolated bluff body. Aerodynamic tests were performed in wind tunnel facilities using particle image velocimetry (PIV), hotwire anemometry, pressure sensors and a force balance. Acoustic tests using a microphone array, on-surface microphones and freefield mi- crophones were performed to investigate the noise generated by the

It is shown in this thesis that fluid dynamic forces on unsteadily moving bluff bodies depend on the history of motion as much as on the velocity and acceleration of motion. An empirical relationship between the motion of the body and the resulting force is obtained by analysing the effect of the history of motion on the fluid dynamic force at any instant. The fluid dynamic force, velocity and acceleration are obtained as functions of time, by oscillating test models in water while they are being towed at constant speed.

The flow around a vehicle, for example, results in a large resistance and can generate a complex swirl pattern behind the body of the vehicle, which can lead to strong alternating lateral forces.

In this thesis, the focus lies on the relation between the wake inlet conditions and the wake characteristics of a bluff body.

A set of wind tunnel experiments were performed to study the effect of large surface roughness on circular cylinder noise, with the goal of improving landing gear noise predictions. Roughness increases vortex shedding noise levels, and shifts the peak to a lower Strouhal number.

The decrease of the vortex shedding peak frequency has been associated with early detachment caused by the effect of roughness on the TBLs, which is in agreement with previous experimental studies with smal
