We study the optimal design problem of acoustic liner to minimize fan noise radiation from commercial aircraft engine nacelles. Specifically we treat the liner impedance factor as a parameter and seek to estimate its optimal value that minimizes far-field radiated noise. The existence of such an optimal parameter is proved under the assumption that the Helmholtz equation governs the noise field. We also present numerical results to demonstrate that the choice of the optimal liner impedance factor does result in significant reduction of noise level in the far-field.
