Methods for reducing blade passing frequency noise generated by rotor-wake - stator interaction

TLDR
A theoretical model for the generation of blade-passage noise caused by the interaction of rotor wakes with the downstream stator blades in a fan stage has been compiled and a set of significant parameters has been identified to reduce this interaction-caused blade-Passage frequency noise.
Abstract
A theoretical model for the generation of blade-passage noise caused by the interaction of rotor wakes with the downstream stator blades in a fan stage has been compiled. This model has combined a description of the rotor wake based on existing experimental correlations with an existing theory for the response of the stator blades to those wakes. This model of the interaction-caused blade-passage noise has been used to examine some effects of blade geometry and flow conditions on the noise generated. A set of significant parameters has been identified to reduce this interaction-caused blade-passage frequency noise. A redesign of an existing fan with the use of these concepts has produced a theoretical noise reduction of more than 7 decibels.
