Abstract:

In this study, wind tunnel experiments are conducted to investigate and analyze the far-field noise of the flow around polygonal cylinders within a Reynolds number range of 2×104–8×104. Considering the influence of angle of attack, two conditions are selected: flow incidence on corner or face. The characteristics of the Power Spectral Density (PSD) and the Overall Sound Pressure Level (OASPL) of far-field noise are analyzed. The potential for noise reduction compared to that of a circular cylinder is discussed. The results indicate that the majority of the flow spectra of polygonal cylinders are dominated by a pure tone, and the OASPL conforms to the sixth-power law of velocity based on the scaling law of dipole source. However, the sixteen-sided cylinder deviates from this law at high Reynolds number, suggesting the influence of transition. The triangular and square cylinders show some noise reduction effects for the corner orientation flow, while the five-sided cylinder exhibits noise reduction effects for the face-oriented flow.
