Abstract: Based on the flow simulations through delayed detached-eddy simulation model， the methods of sparsity-promoting dynamic mode decomposition and spectral proper orthogonal decomposition are applied for analysing the mode decomposition on the wake flow. Then combined by the acoustic analogy approach， this study investigates the behaviour of flow and aerodynamic noise generated around tandem seal-vibrissa-shaped cylinder in comparison with the cases of tandem cylinderlike and elliptical bars with the same characteristic length corresponding to the cylinder diameter of 30 mm for a range of Reynolds numbers （Re=6×10⁴~1.2×10⁵）. Results show that the lift fluctuations of the downstream bars are stronger than those of the upstream bars and the downstream bars dominate the aerodynamic noise radiation. The alternative arrangement of the saddle and nodal planes of seal-vibrissa-shaped cylinder introduces three-dimensional flow separations and suppresses the shear layer interactions， improving greatly the flow stability. The structure destroys the regular vortex shedding of Karman vortex street occurring in tandem cylinder wake. The presence of reverse vortex shedding generated by two adjacent saddle surfaces in the flow of tandem seal-vibrissa-shaped cylinder makes the lateral force balanced partially and reduces significantly the lift fluctuations as well as the vortex-induced vibration. The aerodynamic noise generated by the non-constant fluctuating force exerted on the wall surfaces of bars are suppressed effectively. The sound pressure level is reduced at most frequencies. Thereby the tandem seal-vibrissa-shaped cylinder is demonstrated to have a significant noise reduction effect. The experimental measurements verify the accuracy of the aerodynamic noise predictions. The current work would provide a certain scientific research and engineering application value for the aerodynamic noise control on cylinderlike bars.
