Abstract

Launch vehicles are subject to airborne acoustic loads during atmospheric flight and these effects become pronounced especially in transonic region. As the vibration due to the acoustic loads can cause malfunction of payloads, it is essential to predict and reduce the acoustic loads. In this study, a complete process has been developed for predicting airborne vibro-acoustic environment inside the payload pairing and subsequent noise reduction procedure employing acoustic blankets and Helmholtz resonators. Acoustic loads were predicted by Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) analysis and a semi-empirical model for pressure fluctuation inside turbulent boundary layer. Coupled vibro-acoustic analysis was performed using VA One SEA's Finite Element Statistical Energy Analysis (FE-SEA) hybrid module and ANSYS APDL. The process has been applied to a hammerhead launch vehicle to evaluate the effect of acoustic load reduction and accordingly to verify the effectiveness of the process. The presently developed process enables to obtain quick analysis result with reasonable accuracy and thus is expected to be useful in the initial design phase of a launch vehicle.

발사체는 비행 중 공기역학적 현상에 기인하는 음향하중의 영향을 받는데, 특별히 천음속 영역에서 그 영향이 증가된다. 음향하중으로 인한 페어링 내부 소음진동은 탑재물의 오작동을 유발할 수 있어 이를 예측하고 저감하는 과정이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 발사체 외부에 작용하는 공기역학적 음향하중에 의한 페어링 내부 음향 진동환경을 예측하고, 음향 블랭킷과 헬름홀츠 공명기를 이용하여 소음저감 설계를 구현하는 프로세스를 개발하였다. 음향하중 예측은 Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) 유동해석 결과와 난류 경계층 내부 압력섭동에 관한 준 경험식을 이용하였고, 음향진동 연성해석은 ANSYS APDL과 VA One SEA의 Finite Element Statistical Energy Analysis(FE-SEA) 하이브리드 해법을 이용하였다. 개발된 절차를 천음속 해머 헤드형 발사체에 적용하여 음향하중 저감효과를 확인하고 개발된 절차의 유효성을 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 절차는 타당한 수준의 정확도로 신속한 결과를 얻을 수 있어 발사체 초기설계 단계에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
