- 요약As Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) vehicles have emerged in the aerospace market, their innovative design changes present both opportunities and challenges. Unlike traditional helicopters, AAM vehicles incorporate multiple rotors, variable RPM, variable rotor hub pitch, and sometimes additional wing surfaces. These control mechanisms significantly alter the aircraft's aerodynamic and acoustic profile. This dissertation aims to develop the framework for a simplified model to predict noise generated by AAM vehicles along various flight paths. This will be achieved using a quasi-static acoustic mapping (QSAM) model, which correlates the acoustic output of an aircraft to a static vehicle condition. By linking multiple static vehicle conditions, a flight path can be simulated, allowing for the prediction of the corresponding acoustic noise for that flight path.Through a review of current QSAM models for helicopters, four key adaptations were identified as needed for application to AAM designs. All of these adaptations stem from the addition of multiple rotors for AAM designs. First, it is important to understand far-field development for multirotor vehicles. Since additional rotors are present, the far-field distance is likely to increase. Other design factors specific to AAM, such as tip speed and distribution of rotors, may also have a significant impact on the development of the far field. Second, identifying vehicle operating parameters that define a static aerodynamic condition is essential. The addition of new rotors and lifting surfaces present in AAM complicate the aerodynamic environment of the aircraft. The aerodynamic environment of the whole vehicle needs to be related back to a given flight condition in order to apply QSAM to AAM. Third, evaluating time-varying acoustic interference, which is common in many AAM designs, is important. The multiple rotors may acoustically interfere, leading to modulation in the noise. Aerodynamic interactions also have the potential to induce noise variation over time. Both need to be evaluated to ensure a steady noise hemisphere can be used to represent the sound produced by AAM. Finally, a better understanding of how aerodynamic interactions change with operating conditions in AAM is needed. A QSAM database requires hundreds of noise hemispheres which are computationally time consuming and physically expensive to test. Determining ways to shortcut the collection of this data will enhance the application of QSAM for AAM. These areas are vital for accurately predicting and mitigating noise in AAM designs, ensuring their successful integration into urban environments.The first study in this dissertation emphasizes the importance of understanding far-field development for AAM systems, as current methods can introduce significant errors. New parameters, such as multiple rotors and variable RPM, complicate the acoustic propagation of noise from these vehicles, necessitating a reevaluation of existing methods for determining the far field. Far-field studies in this work revealed that vehicle radius, rotor placement, and rotation direction significantly impact noise characteristics. The findings underscore the need to consider the geometry, rotation direction, and proximity of rotors in far-field validation for AAM vehicles.The research also identifies vehicle operating parameters that define a static aerodynamic state, essential for the QSAM model. While some reductions are made, further verification or simplification within QSAM may be needed. The study examines the time-varying effects of acoustic interference and evaluates two different pitch conditions for temporal steadiness in aerodynamic interactions. Additionally, the use of periodic predictions for blade loading is assessed to reduce computation time for interacting rotors and wings. Test studies on the effects of windowing on temporal steadiness of noise indicate that current practices produce steady results with minimal impacts on flight testing or prediction methods.Studies are conducted to evaluate different vehicle pitch conditions and the aerodynamic interactions with rotor inflow variables. A significant link was found between perpendicular inflow changes and increased aerodynamic interactions, with certain operating conditions showing deviations from expected trends due to wake changes at higher inflow angles. The research also explores the relationship between aerodynamic environment and rotor rotation rates, determining that interactions are negligible when the front rotor is slower than the aft rotor, but increase when the front rotor spins as fast or faster than the aft rotor. It is found that rotation rates have a smaller effect on noise compared to vehicle inflow angles.In summary, transitioning from traditional helicopters to AAM vehicles requires a comprehensive understanding of new design parameters and their impact on noise generation. This research provides valuable insights into optimizing rotorcraft and AAM vehicle designs, ensuring accurate acoustic models and effective noise control strategies. These understandings assist in the application of the QSAM model to AAM vehicles, as they address the complexities introduced by multiple rotors, variable RPM, and adjustable rotor/wing pitch. By incorporating these insights, the QSAM model can more accurately predict and mitigate noise, facilitating the successful integration of AAM technologies into urban environments and contributing to sustainable urban air mobility solutions.
