Technologies for jet noise reduction in turbofan engines

Turbofan engines are commonly used for commercial transport due to their advantages of higher performance and lower noise. Jet noise is one of the principal noise sources of turbofan aeroplane engines and remains an acute environmental problem that requires advanced solutions. The ever-increasing demand for quieter engines requires the exploration of alternative techniques that could be used by themselves or in conjunction with existing methods. Significant progress continues to be made with noise reduction for turbofan engines. Analytical and semiempirical models have been developed to investigate the influence of some design tools when they are employed in a multidisciplinary optimisation framework. This paper discusses the major components of jet noise in turbofan engines and presents a review of jet noise reduction technologies.
