Abstract:
Numerical aero-acoustic analysis was conducted on a weapon bay model with doors, incorporating radar cross section reduction features. The effect of angle of attack on the aero-acoustic response of the cavity was analysed at a transonic Mach number of 0.85, and at a supersonic Mach number of 1.20. It was found that incidence had influence on both mean-flow features and acoustic response. Further, linear and angular accelerations induced by the flow on doors revealed potential adverse fluid-structure coupling when results were compared with modal analysis. Again, angle of attack did influence the aeroacoustic effects on the cavity door structure.
