 Solution

The rotation introduces angular frequency $\Omega$ and, after combining the two blades, harmonics such as $2\Omega$. The acoustic compact-source approximation requires the propagation time $a/c_0$ to be small compared with ${\Omega }^{-1}$. ThusIt also bounds every blade element's Mach number by $\mu$. Consequently $|1-M_r|=1+O(\mu )$, and its leading value is one. The separate acoustic far field condition is $\Omega R/c_0\gg 1$.

Choose the positive rotation sense so that a first blade at phase $\alpha$ has radial and tangential unit vectorsIntegrating the given line force from $r=0$ to $a$ yields ${\mathcal{F}}_1=F{e}_{\varphi }(\Omega \tau )+D{e}_x$. Its axial component is constant, while ${\dot{\mathcal{F}}}_1=-F\Omega e_r$. Since $n=\cos \theta e_x+\sin \theta e_y$, the compact acoustic dipole sound from this blade isThe other blade has phase $\alpha +\pi$ and contributes the opposite rotating force. At a common compact retarded time, their total force is $2D{e}_x$, soThis cancellation calls for the next source-delay correction; it does not mean that the complete moving-source field vanishes.
