Abstract
An analysis is presented which treats the noise generation from an axial flow fan row by given forces including the effects of a moving medium. The linearization of Euler’s equations to yield tractable problems for fan noise is discussed. The three-dimensional problem is decomposed into several two-dimensional problems. Finally, full details are given of a two-dimensional analysis to predict the amounts of acoustic energy, at the blade passing frequency and its harmonics, radiated up and downstream of a blade row due to its interaction with a neighboring row.
