Résumé

Noise reductions due to trailing edge serrations of several representative unmanned air vehicle propellers are calculated using a low-order methodology based on RANS simulations coupled with an extension of Ayton’s model proposed by Li and Lee, which provides a heuristic threedimensional model for finite span applicable to rotor blades. The latter model is validated in the limit of zero serration amplitude against Amiet’s and Schlinker and Amiet’s models, finding good agreement at high frequencies for both airfoils and rotating blade elements. Similar good validation results are obtained for finite serrations by comparing with experiments achieved on the Controlled Diffusion airfoil at Université de Sherbrooke, and with calculations for a serrated blade element by Tian and Lyu. The coupled methodology is then validated both aerodynamically and acoustically with ISAE measurements for a representative drone propeller at different rotational speeds. The corresponding serrated model is then used to calculate noise reductions caused by different shapes. The square wave serration is shown to outperform the sawtooth and sinusoidal shapes for all frequencies and observer angles for small propeller blades typically used for drones. Yet, for larger chord blades typically used for ducted fans, combinations of sawtooth and sinusoidal serrations provide better noise reductions.
