The Advanced Noise Control Fan (ANCF) was utilized in the design, test, and evaluation for technical risk mitigation for many of the innovative ducted acoustic liner technologies developed by NASA over the past 20 years. The ANCF is a low-speed ducted fan test bed for measuring and understanding fan-generated aeroacoustics, duct propagation, and radiation to the farfield. It is considered a low Technology Readiness Level testbed. The international aeroacoustics research community employed the ANCF to facilitate advancement of liner concepts, liner measurement technologies, and for liner code validation. From 1994 to 2016, it was located in the NASA Glenn Research Center’s Applied Aero Propulsion Laboratory. In 2016 the ANCF was transferred to the University of Notre Dame where it is expected to continue to positively impact research in the liner area. This paper summarizes the capabilities and contributions of the ANCF to the field of liner development by documenting its history.

在过去 20 年中，NASA 开发的许多创新管道声学衬垫技术的技术风险缓解设计、测试和评估中使用了高级噪声控制风扇 (ANCF)。ANCF 是一个低速管道风扇试验台，用于测量和了解风扇产生的气动声学、管道传播和远场辐射。它被认为是一个低技术准备水平的测试平台。国际气动声学研究界采用 ANCF 来促进班轮概念、班轮测量技术和班轮代码验证的进步。从1994年到2016年，它位于美国宇航局格伦研究中心的应用航空推进实验室。2016 年，ANCF 被转移到圣母大学，预计它将继续对班轮地区的研究产生积极影响。本文通过记录其历史，总结了 ANCF 在班轮开发领域的能力和贡献。
