Numerical Investigation of Flow Induced Sound Around a Square Cylinder at Various Incidence Angles

Flow characteristics and sound pressure level in the acoustical far field and on the surface of a square cylinder at incidence are investigated for six angles of attacks. Flow around square cylinder is modeled using large eddy simulation method. The flow simulation is conducted using fluent commercial software. The results of the present study showed good agreement with the available experimental results. The minimum of drag coefficient, mean and root mean squared (rms) value of lift coefficient, and sound pressure level in acoustical far field occurred at 13o angle of attack which is due to the lowest values of fluctuating lift and drag forces at this angle of attack. The induced acoustic field is due to the fluctuating lift force acting on the rod.
