- 요약This dissertation presents a systematic experimental investigation of the design variations of coaxial co-rotating (stacked) rotor systems and their effects on aerodynamic performance and acoustics in both hover and edgewise flow. The study utilized a custom-built, non-mechanically connected 2-rotor test platform called the Coaxial Acoustic Test System (CATS) at Penn State. It evaluates the effects of six primary design variables: rotor speed, azimuthal phase angle offset, axial separation distance, collective pitch angle, differential collective pitch settings, and edgewise flow conditions.Experiments were performed on two-bladed coaxial rotors with 9-inch blades operating at rotor speeds of 1500, 3500, and 4500 RPM (tip Mach number of 0.105, 0.244 and 0.314, respectively) and collective pitch angles ranging from 9.4 ◦ to 15◦ . Independent six-axis load cells and a 12-microphone array captured synchronized aerodynamic and acoustic data. Phase offsets from 0 ◦ to ±90◦ and axial separations from ∆Z/R = 0.2 to 1.10 were systematically studied.Hover results show that at ∆Z/R = 0.2, a phase offset of ∆ϕ = −20◦ reduced broadband noise by over 3 dB, while ±90◦ suppressed tonal noise. At small ∆Z/R, the coherent wake intensified interference and noise; at larger separations, wake diffusion reduced deterministic interactions. Heatmaps revealed that minimum noise shifted with ∆Z/R, consistent with evolving helical wake geometry.Three stacked coaxial co-rotating rotor configurations were compared against 2-bladed and 4-bladed co-planar rotors at matched total system thrust. All stacked rotor configurations demonstrated greater efficiency than the co-planar counterparts. The most efficient configuration using differential collective pitch with the lower blade pitched higher than the upper blade at matched thrust and a 20◦ phase offset, achieved 8.8% higher power loading than the 4-bladed co-planar case, while maintaining broadband noise levels within 1 dB of it.In edgewise flow, wake skew significantly disrupted the phase-dependent noise mitigation trends previously established in hover. Even at a moderate inflow speed, asymmetric blade loading altered both tonal and broadband spectral distributions, diminishing the effectiveness of phase angle control.
