Abstract
Due to the growing number of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles, the aeroacoustic noise radiated by airfoils in moderate Reynolds-number flows increasingly becomes the focus of interest. In the present paper, the flow-generated noise of two basic (a flat plate and a cambered plate) and two conventional (RAF6 and NACA 0012) airfoil profiles is investigated in an open-jet wind tunnel in the interval of Reynolds numbers between 60,000 and 140,000. The measurements were carried out with a phased array microphone. The measurement data were evaluated using frequency–domain beamforming and the analysis of variance statistical method. The results show that the emitted noise is nearly independent of the angle of attack but dependent on the airfoil geometry and the chordwise location.
