This study aims at evaluating an analytical model for the prediction of tonal fan noise created by the rotor–stator interaction. The methodology consists of comparing unsteady flow simulations with the cascade-based acoustic model to quantify the influence of some technological effects not included in the model. The simulations are performed with a dedicated turbomachinery flow solver Turb’Flow on a simplified stator vane cascade. They allow discussing the effects of both model assumptions of no vane thickness and inviscid flow on the predictions of the acoustic sources as well as on the modal acoustic powers radiated within the duct. The Kutta condition is found to be efficient to locally represent the viscosity effects, and the vane thickness tends to moderately modify the distributions of the sources and the amplitudes of the duct modes. Moreover, a three-dimensional decomposition of the aerodynamic excitation is proposed and coupled with the three-dimensional analytical cascade response. This fully three-dimensional acoustic model is evaluated by comparisons with an unsteady simulation of a realistic axial compressor stage. An improvement in the prediction of the acoustic sources and powers is clearly shown with respect to the previously used two-dimensional version of the model.
