  • Title: The effect of acoustic forcing on an airfoil tonal noise mechanism.
    Author: Schumacher KL, Doolan CJ, Kelso RM.
    Journal: J Acoust Soc Am; 2014 Aug; 136(2):EL78-83. PubMed ID: 25096150.
    Abstract:
    The response of the boundary layer over an airfoil with cavity to external acoustic forcing, across a sweep of frequencies, was measured. The boundary layer downstream of the cavity trailing edge was found to respond strongly and selectively at the natural airfoil tonal frequencies. This is considered to be due to enhanced feedback. However, the shear layer upstream of the cavity trailing edge did not respond at these frequencies. These findings confirm that an aeroacoustic feedback loop exists between the airfoil trailing edge and a location near the cavity trailing edge.
