The invention belongs to the field of propellers, and discloses a
noise reduction method for applying an
epoxy resin coating on the surface of a
propeller, which comprises the following steps of: adhering
polyurea,
polyurethane or
epoxy resin to the surface of the
propeller in manners of spraying, dip-
coating,
brush coating, spot
coating and the like to form a compact protective film and hemispherical turbulent flow bulges, changing
eddy current on the surface of the
propeller, and realizing
noise reduction. The protrusions are arranged to two thirds of the
radius along the
front edge of the propeller pressure face, and the size of the protrusions can be optimized according to working conditions. The method is simple and easy to implement, the
noise sound pressure level is effectively reduced,
environmental noise pollution is reduced, and the aircraft sound stealth performance is improved. Experiments show that under the rotating speed of 2000 rpm, the
noise reduction effect is remarkable, and the thrust loss is only 0.37%. According to the
noise reduction method, the aerodynamic noise of the propeller can be effectively reduced on the premise of ensuring the aerodynamic performance of the propeller, the sound concealment performance of an aircraft is improved, the
noise pollution to the surrounding environment is reduced, and the method is simple, easy to implement and easy to popularize.
