$U)RARY

The LF336/E statorless lift fan system was designed and tested with twosets of fan blades - one with serrated rotor leading edges and one with un-serrated r_tor leading edges.

Fan broadband noise reductions froa 2 to 5 dB were achieved in the forwardquadrant at frequencies from 100 to 2500 Hz. Broadband noise near and abovethe BPF was reduced only at angles of 80 to 100 degrees. BPF reductions werenot achieved with serrations.

INTRODUCTION

The LF336/E statorless lift fan system was designed, fabricated, andtested under Contract NAS2-5462 which was sponsored by NASA Ames ResearchCenter. Included in this progrsmwere two sets of fan blades - one withserrated rotor leading edges and one with unserrated rotor leading edges.Acoustic test results on the unserrated LF336/Ewere reported in Reference I.

Serration geometry for the LF336/E statorless llft fan was selected basedupon cascade tests of serrated leading edge bladlng at high subsonic speeds asreported In Reference 2.

SECTION III

TEST BARDUARE

The basic test propulsion system consisted of the LF336/E statorless fan,

the J85-5 engine, and interconnecting ducting as shown in Figure i. Thesystemwas installed in a test stand which provided for mounting the fan and enginesystem with the fan inlet oriented in a vertical plane. The fan inlet bellmouthwas installed flush with a flat plane surface which simulated a wing upper sur-

: face of a fan-in-wing installation.

A. LF336/E Fan System

The LF336/E fan is a single stage statorless turbotlp llft fan which is

designed to operate without either inlet guide vanes or exit stator rows. The

fan has a 36 inch (91.44 cm) diameter and incorporates 42 blades in a tip tur-

bine driven, single stage rotor. The single stage rotor develops a fan pressureratio of 1.25 at a fan design tip speed of 1060 feet per second (323 m persecond). The design pressure ratio of 1.25 assumes no recovery of the exitswirl component. Accordingly, the overall total-to-total pressure ratio is1.32 at design operating conditions.

A sketch of the fan is shown in Figure 2. Selected design par_eters arepresented in Table If. When the fan was tested, it was modified by the instal-

lation of tip turbine exit stators.

Serrated fan blade geometry for this test is presented in Figure 3. Cas-cade tests (Reference 2) had concluded that the best aerodynQic and acoustic

performance was achieved with serrations that had a height greater than sixpercent of the blade chord and a helght-to-spaclng (H/S) ratio of 1.5 or less.

Both the serrated and unserrated statorless fans were tested with a clr-

cular inlet guide vane. This IGV is shown installed on the serrated statorlessfan in Figure 4 and would be used to improve aerodynamic performance in cross-flow. IGV-to-rotor spacing was approximately 0.25 inches (0.63 cm) or about0.06 true IGV chords,

B. J85-5 Gas Generator

The fan tip turbine was driven by a J85-5 engine modified to a convention-

al turbojet engine configuration. The gas gene:ator is shown in Figure 1

coupled to the llft fan. Also evident in this photograph is the acoustic sup-

pressor which was installed on the J85-5 inlet to suppress gas generator inletradiated noise. The engine exhaust is direct-coupled to the fan scroll inletthrough a transition duct.

SECTION IV

NASA AMES RESEARCH CENTER OUTDOOR TEST SITE

LF336/E statorless Lift fan testing was conducted at an outdoor test sitelocated at NASA Ames Research Center. An aerial view of the test site is

presented in Figure 5. As the photograph shows, the acoustic path to anygiven microphone was in some places asphalt and concrete, and in others shortgrass and asphalt. The microphone layout for the unserrated test is given in

Figure 6 and the serrated test in Figure 7. Far field microphones were on a150-foot (45.7 m) arc in ten degree increments from 0 to 160 degrees relativeto the fan inlet. For both tests Runs 1 and 2 had the near field microphoneson a 20-fomt (6.1 m) arc located in 20 degree increments from 30 to 15_ :._=res.All successive runs had the seven 20 foot (6.1 m) arc microphones locat=_ dt90, 110, 130, 150, 210, 230 and 250 degrees. This latter arrangement dupli-cated the near field microphone layout used when the unserrated statorless fanwas tested in the NASA Ames 40' by 80' (12.2 m x 24.4 m) wind tunnel.

SOUND DATA ACQUISITION AND PROCESSINC

A. Data Ac_uisitlon

All data acquisition for the war and far sound fields was made usingBruel-KJaer model 4133 microphone systems in conjunction with a Honeywell Model

7600 tape recorder operated at thirty inches per second (76 centimeters per

second). Figure 8 includes a schematic of the data acquisition system and

photographs of the equipment and the General Electric Mobile Sound EvaluationUnit.

All far field microphones were oriented to point at the test vehicle andhad Bruel-KJaer UA0237 windscreens installed on the microphone heads. Thenear field microphones were oriented to point in the same direction a_s theJ85 inlet and used Bruel-KJaer model UAO052 nose cones.

The f_'ee field frequency response of each microphone head is derived from ,

a pressure response curve recorded automatically by the electro-statlc actu-ator method traceable to the Bureau of Standards. The free field characteris-

tics for various angles of incidence for microphones with protecting grid, nosecones, and windscreens are given by the microphone manufacturer. Individualmicrophone head sensitivities are determined by the insertion of a Bruel-KJasrpistonphone on the cartridge mounted to a standard microphone system. Boththe pistonphone and standard microphone system are traceable to the Bureau ofStandards.

Prior to initiation of testing, a frequency response of each data channel(minus microphone head) was made by the insertion of a Hewlett-Packard Pseudo-Random Pink Noise Generator into each cathode follower and recorded on magnetic

tape.

Prior to and subsequent to each day's testing, an absolute calibration wasmade by the insertion of a pistonphone on each microphone and recorded on tape.Any microphone whose voltage output with the pistonphone applied was found todeviate more than + 1.5 dB from the laboratory calibration was replaced.

During test operations, sound wes recorded continuously for a minimum oftwo minutes to allow enough sample length _or data processing. All acousticdata was taken at wind speeds below 5 mph (8 km/hour).

B. Data Processing

1. 1/3 Octave Bands !

All 1/3 octave band data processing was performed at the General ElectricEdwards Flight Test Center facilities using a General Radio real time analyzerin conjunction with a Honeywell 316 and SDS930 computer. Thirty-two second

averaging time was used for data processing with data for each angle sampledfrom the same period of time for each data point.

Before data processing could _e initiated, the total data acquisition and ;reduction system frequency response characteristics had to be determined andmade available in the computer for final data processing. The first step inthis process was to analyze the Pink Noise calibration tapes for each datachannel, and determine the response characteristics for the total system asreferenced to 250 Hz (frequency of the pistonphone) at each 1/3 octave band.Final one-third octave data processing was made by determining absolute soundpressure levels, for the 150 foot (45.7 m) arc and 200, 500 foot (61 m, 151 m)sidelines, corrected to standard day (59 ° F (15 o C), 70% relative humidity)conditions as per Reference 3 and for ground attenuation effects as per

_ Reference 4. /

2. 20 Hz Narrowbands

All narrowband analysis was made at the General Electric Edwards FlightTest Center facilities using a Federal Scientific Ubiquitous Spectrum Analyzerand a 139B Digital Averager. All data was processed using a 20 Hz bandwidthfilter and an averaging time of 12.8 seconds. No corrections for humidity oracquisition/processing responses were included in the narrowband plots.

SECTION VI

RESULTS AND COMPARISONS

A. Serrated to Unserrated Statorless Lift Fan

Serrat[ons reduced the perceived noise level (PNL) by 2 to 4 PNdB orimar-ily from 80 to i00 degrees (relative to the fan inlet on a 200 foot (61 m)

sideline as shown in Figure 9 at 6000, 5300, and 4800 rpm. At forward angles,however, the use of PNL is somewhat deceiving since it weights the 1/3 octave

• band which contains the BPF most heavily and in the forward angles the BPF notfan broadband noise controls the spectra. Figure I0 presents a comparison ofserrated and unserrated sound power levels (re 10 -13 watts) at three fan speeds.Serratlons clearly reduced fs_ broadbpnd power levels from 630 Hz to the BPFby I to 2 dB. Above the band containing the BPF, there was little or no reduc-tion due to serratlons. The region of the spectrum around 315 Hz is influencedby the ground null; however, lower frequencies down to i00 Hz show lower soundpower levels with the serrated rotor. There are two possible reasons for thereduction at these low frequencies. One is that the fan is performing differ-ently with the serrated rotor and Jet velocities are reduced thus loweringthese low frequency levels. A second possibility is that these low frequencieswhich are usually associated with Jet noise are in fact fan broadband noisewhich has been redaced by serratlons. Figure Ii indicates that the second

possibility is correct. Here the serrated and unserrated 160 Hz sound pressurelevei_ (SPL's) at three fan speeds are compared at acoustic angles on a 200foot (61 m) sideline. The SPL's from 30 to i00 degrees have been reduced byserratlons by 2 to 5 dB. However, aft angles show llrtle change with serra-tlons as one would expe=t if these angles are controlled by Jet noise not fanbroadband noise. Similar results are available for 100 and 125 Hz SPL's.

At higher fan broadband levels, e.g., at 1600 Hz in Figure 12, the effectof serrations can be seen at angles of 30 degrees rearward at 4800, 5300, and6000 rpm. For some reason, which is not clear at this time, the 110 degreelevel was not reduced by serrattons. The reductions range from 2 to 4 dB.Similar results are observed for the 2500 Hz SPL's in Figure 13. Again the110 degree SPL's with serrations are the same as the unserrated levels.

Serrated and unserrated SPL's of the 1/3 octave bands which contain theBPF for 6000, 5300, and 4800 rpm are compared in Figure 14. At forward anglesup to 80 degrees the SPL's at the two lower fan speeds show no effect due toserrations and the 6000 rpm SPL's only show about a 1 dB drop due to serrations.The forward SPL's which contain the BPF are controlled by the BPF and the BPFis not affected by serrations or are slightly increased as the narrowband SPL'sin Figure 15 indicate. Note that Figure 15 compares both 1/3 octave band BPFand 20 Hz narrowbsnd BPF on a 150 foot (45.7 m) arc. Typical 120 Hz narrowbandspectra are shown ,n Figure 16 fo= 60 degrees and 120 degrees. The aft spectraBPF is only 4 dB above the broadband noise which accounts for the differencebetween the aft quadrant 1/3 octave band BPF &_J 20 Hz BL,F levels in Figure 15.

1975010170-013

Page 14: I N - NASA

At frequencies above the KPF, serratfons do not achieve a reduction exceptat 80, 90, and 100 degrees. Figure 17 ls a typical frequency, 8000 Hz, at threefan speeds.

B. Serrated Fan with and without Clrcular IGV

Te_ts on the LF336/E statorlees llft fan both serrated and unserrated

included configurations _rlth and without a eircul at inlet guide vane. As shownin Figure 4, the inlet guide vane is a 180 degree turnin- vane positioned nearthe fan inlet bellmouth and i8 located less than 0.1 rotor chords forward of

the rotor leading edge. This device is intended to improve fan performance incrossflov with little change at static fan operation. •

" Installation of the circular IGV affected an increase in perceived noiselevel 68 shown in Figure 18 at 6000 and 5300 rpm. Figure 19 indicates that at40 and 50 ds_rees there is no difference attributable to the circular ICV atlow speeds. At 60 and 70 degrees the configuration with the circular ICV is1 to 2 _ higher over the entire speed regina.

Installation of the circular ICV also in_reaged the 1/3 octave b_nd which

contains the BPF, This is shown in Figure 20 at 6000 and 5300 rpa. 20 Hznarrowband directtvity on a 150 foot (45.7 m) arc is shown in Figure 21 andindicates a change in the forward quadrant BFF with circular ICV. Figure 22compares 20 Hz natrogband spectra at 50 degrees and 60 degrees and shows thatthe circular ICV affects only the BPF and not fan broadband noise. Sin/larresults were observed when the circular IGV was installed on the tmserratedrotor (Reference 1).

C. Serrated and Unserrated Fan with Circular IGV

With the circular ICV installed, the serrated rotor reduced the forwardquadrant I_L'8 at 6000 rpm by 4 PHdB at 60 and 70 degrees as shown in Figure23. At 5300 rpa the reduction due to serrations was I to 4 PNdB from 30 to100 degrees. As indicated by Figure 24, these forward quadrant Ph'L reductionswith the IGV installed are generally 2 to 3 PHdB down tc 3000 rpm where theeffects are minimal.

Sound power level (re 10 -13 watts) reductions were achieved with the ser-rated rotor 88 evidenced by Figure 25. Fan broadband ISL'a froa 500 to theBPF and above the BPF are reduced 1 to 3 dB. For this configuration the 1/3 _octave band which contains the BPF shows a 2.5 dB reduction. When rotateda8 a function of acoustic angle, the 1/3 octave BPF band shows as such as 5

dB reduction in SPL with serration8 at forward masle8 while the aft angles8how slight reductions. This is shown in FiSure 26 at two fan speeds. Typl-

cal forward and aft narrowhand colparisons at 6000 tpm are shmm in ,Figure 27.Note that the serrated rotor with the circular ICV installad has reduced not

only the fan broadband noise but also the BPF and its harnonics. This is incontrast to the case without the IGV where serration8 had no effect on she BFF.

-ILow frequency fan broadband SPL's are decreased by the serrated rotor by

2 to 3 dB in the forward quadrant as shown in Figure 28. In the aft quadrant,Jet noise is dominant and no serration effect is vlslble. Similar results atthese low fzequencles were observed for the fan without the IGV and furtherconfirms that fan broadband noise is present and that serratlons reduce thisfan broadband noise. Figures 29 and 30 present fan broadband SPL's at 1600and 2500 Hz below the BPF. Serratlon reductions of 2 to 5 dB are present overthe entire sideline. Reduction is also evident above the BFF an shown in Figure3).; however, the angles reduced are from 30 to 120 degrees.

SECTION VII

CONCLUSIONS

The 1/3-octave band SPL's from 100 Hz to 2500 Hz (excluding bands influ-enced by the sround null) show reductions due to serrations of 2 to 5 dB inthe forward quadrant. Bands close to and above the BFF shc_ reduction due toserrations only at angles of 80 to 100 degrees.

BPF reductions were not achieved with eetraticeas. The reduction in broad-

band noise and not tones is consistent with rotor alone analyses and cescadstests which indicated that serrations primarily effect fluctuating pressureon the rotor and thus broadband noise generation.

Installation of a circular IGV resulted in 8 1 to 2 PNdB increase at for-

ward ankles. This circular ICV increases the BPF ac forward angles from 3 to7 dB.
