| Description | In this paper we address the mathematical problem of noise generation from high speed moving surfaces. The problem we are solving is the linear wave equation with sources on a moving surface. The Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) equation as well as the govern- ing equation for deriving the Kirchhoff formula for moving surfaces are both this type of partial differential equation. We give a new exact solution of this problem here in closed form which is valid for subsonic and supersonic motion of the surface but it is particularly suitable for supersonically moving surfaces. This new solution is the simplest of all high speed formulations of Langley and is denoted formulation 4 following the tradition of numbering of our major results for the prediction of the noise of rotating blades. We show that for a smooth surface moving at supersonic speed, our solution has only removable singularities. Thus it can be used for numerical work. |
