Aircraft noise prediction

One of the biggest obstacles to the building of new airports and expanding runway capacity is environmental concerns, especially noise. In this paper, we review what has been previously studied in the literature concerning the noise reduction problem around airports from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) perspective. In order to facilitate the knowledge of the current situation, a regulation summary from the USA and EU is provided. We mainly focus our research on operational procedures, since they are one of the easiest improvements nowadays for reducing the impact of noise around airports.Moreover, the paper sums up the modelling, monitoring and simulation tools related to noise at airports proposed in the literature. Finally, special care is taken to review the optimization tools, the objective of which is to take into account the noise problem in order to help, or propose alternatives, to reduce its impact from airport operations.

This paper discusses a state-of-the-art aircraft noise simulation program. The complete computational framework includes modules for the prediction of geometrical configurations, aerodynamics, flight mechanics, general aircraft performance and acoustics, among others, along with several interfaces for external programs and data structures. The results on output are entirely predicted on the basis of the simulation models implemented. We discuss features such as the benefits of a complete and validated simulation model for commercial airplanes powered by gas turbine engines. Specifically, the aircraft noise module has been designed as a network, so that advances in any of the component analysis can be implemented with ease in the future. We discuss numerical problems around the implementation of selected noise models. Results shown include synchronization of the flight trajectory with Flight-Data-Recorder positions and airfield maps, airfield modelling, noise predictions during a full trajectory, noise footprints, stochastic analysis of aircraft noise in the presence of uncertain parameters. Current challenges are pointed out, including the robustness of some noise models, and the use of these models for airplane configurations that do not exist yet.
