The present work addresses extensions of a classical, analytical gust-airfoil interaction noise model, dedicated to the prediction of the tonal noise of rotating blades in a distorted flow. More specifically it is aimed at providing consistent prediction tools for CounterRotating Open Rotors at the early stage of propeller design. Indeed CRORs, installed for instance at the rear fuselage of an aircraft, are expected to radiate sound because of the blade-wake interactions and of the interaction with the wake of the mast, and the tonal part of that noise is recognized as dominant. In classical formulations resorting to a strip theory, the local response of a blade segment is derived assuming that the segment is a rectangular patch included in a plate of infinite span. In the paper, new expressions are proposed for more realistic shapes, namely a parallelogram for segments of swept blades, polygons accounting for chord length variations along the span, and the special case of a rectangular blade tip. Closed-form solutions are obtained for the unsteady lift induced by deterministic incident disturbances, introducing approximations when needed, and making an intensive use of Schwarzschild’s technique. Next the far-field sound is calculated according to the acoustic analogy. The effects of the realistic geometrical parameters on the sound radiation are discussed by comparing to the baseline-case of a rectangular segment.
