Summary:The flow field and sound field of trapezoidal rudder-wing under different rudder angles are numerically predicted by CFD LES theory, Lighthill acoustic analogy theory and vibro-acoustic theory. And characteristics of hydrodynamic noise including flow noise and vibroacoustics under hydrodynamic excitations are analyzed. Results show that: at the same speed, the hydrodynamic noise raises with the increase of rudder angle; sound pressure level spectrum band of flow noise is wide and there is no obvious dominant frequency while there is a very obvious peak value of vibroacoustics under hydrodynamic excitations corresponding to the first order modal frequency in the band of 520-530 Hz; sound intensity at the front of leading edge and after trailing edge is higher than that at both sides of rudder-wing; the vibration of trailing edge is large, so it is the concentrated area of noise source.
