Abstract
This study was aimed at numerically investigating the source, generation mechanism, and strategy for reducing aerodynamic noises inside a steam turbine control valve. A delayed detached eddy simulation was performed to extract the three-dimensional unsteady turbulent flow structures formed within the serpentine flow passage of the turbine valve. Acoustic analogies, spatial Fourier transform, and spectral proper orthogonal decomposition on the delayed detached eddy simulation-simulated flow data were complementarily combined to clarify the generation mechanism of tonal and broadband aerodynamic noises. The results showed that broadband noises were produced by wall-attached jet flow and turbulent mixing flow between the annular wall jets and central reverse flow. High-intensity tonal noises were generated by the excitation of multi-order natural acoustic modes of the bell-shaped valve spindle. The intensive acoustic pressure pulsations concentrated inside the bell jar and propagated along the diffuser to the downstream turbine chamber. A novel ring acoustic liner was designed using the acoustic impedance model to reduce the valve noises without sacrificing the flow performance. The noise reduction effectiveness was evaluated by solving the linearized Navier–Stokes equations in the frequency domain.
