Abstract
It is difficult to clarify the mechanism of the generation of aeroacoustic sound experimentally because unsteady behavior of the spatial distribution of vorticity need to be measured precisely. Using time-resolved Particle Image Velocimetry, we conducted the experiment to measure the flow field and aeroacoustic sound around a cylinder simultaneously. From the temporal data obtained by PIV, we calculated the spatial distribution of vorticity and estimated the sound pressure in the far field, applying Howe's vortex sound theory. Through comparison with the actual sound pressure measured by a microphone, it is assured that PIV estimated sound pressure is correlative with the actual sound pressure.
