Conclusions
• Rotor alone noise and rotor stator interaction noise
are equally important
• Trailing edge noise can be predicted from
calculations of the blade surface pressure spectrum
• Blade stall dramatically increases trailing edge noise
• Angle of attack effects on blades in isotropic
turbulence are small (but not necessarily for
anisotropic turbulence and asymmetric blades)
• Blade thickness can significantly reduce high
frequency noise (but the details of the blade shape are
important)
