Abstract
In this paper an effective approach to estimate airfoil Turbulent Boundary-Layer Trailing-Edge (TBL-TE) far-field noise from measured surface pressure fluctuations (SPF) is evaluated. Measurements of both SPF and TE noise were performed on a NACA 0012 airfoil of 0.4 m chord at Reynolds numbers of 1.0–1.9 millions for various angles of attack. A non-homogeneously spaced array of five Kulite-sensors near the TE at x/ c = 0.989 is employed to measure point spectra and spanwise two-point correlations of surface pressure fluctuations. Finally spanwise SPF length-scales are derived as function of frequency. Comparisons to measured TE noise and semi-empirical predictions of surface pressures and far-field noise show very good agreement. It is found, that the proposed method can cover a larger frequency range than standard acoustic measurement techniques. Therefore it can provide valuable assistance in extending spectra obtained conventionally, mainly to low frequencies. Furthermore, pressure and suction side contributions to far-field noise can be obtained separately.
