Abstract

The emphasis on increased turbofan fuel efficiency requires advanced turbofan designs that will integrate higher engine bypass ratios and shorter nacelles. The resulting acoustic signature of these designs will have a more broadband character as well as a smaller available area for liner installation. This two-fold impact compels a need for an improvement in the state of the art in liner technology. Increasing the acoustic absorption efficacy over a broader frequency range is a means to address this need. NASA investigated over-the-rotor acoustic liners for turbofan applications as a potential solution. This type of liner represents a significant advance over traditional liners due to placement in close proximity to the rotor. An advantage of placing treatment in this region is a modification of the acoustic near field, thereby inhibiting noise generation mechanisms. This can result in higher attenuation levels than could be achieved by the conventional sound absorption means. In addition, there is potential to integrate the liner with fan rub-strip and containment components, reducing engine components and thus weight, enabling a systematic enhancement in noise reduction and engine performance. This article reviews the development and evaluation process of three unique over-the-rotor concepts focusing on the discrete tests conducted across the Technology Readiness Level span.
