Abstract

The sound generated by the flow around a circular cylinder is numerically investigated by using a finite-element method. In particular, we study the acoustic emissions generated by the flow past the bluff body at low Mach and Reynolds numbers. We perform a global stability analysis by using the compressible linearized Navier-Stokes equations. The resulting direct global mode provides detailed information related to the underlying hydrodynamic instability and data on the acoustic field generated. In order to recover the intensity of the produced sound, we apply the self-consistent model for non-linear saturation proposed by Mantič-Lugo, Arratia, and Gallaire ["Self-consistent mean flow description of the nonlinear saturation of the vortex shedding in the cylinder wake," Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 084501 (2014)]. The application of this model allows us to compute the amplitude of the resulting linear mode and the effects of saturation on the mode structure and acoustic field. Our results show excellent agreement with those obtained by a full compressible simulation direct numerical simulation and those derived by the application of classical acoustic analogy formulations.
