Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of the geometric parameters – rod diameter and the distance between the rod and the airfoil – on the noise generated by a rod-airfoil configuration using experimental and numerical techniques. The numerical simulations are carried out using the low-dissipation up-wind scheme and the Delayed-Detached-Eddy Simulation (DDES) approach with Shear-Layer Adapted (SLA) sub-grid length scale (SGS) for a faster transition between RANS and LES. A dual-time stepping strategy, leading to second-order accuracy in space and time, is followed. The Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings (FWH) technique is used to post-process the pressure fluctuations to predict the far-field acoustics. A corresponding detailed experimental analysis, carried out using phased microphone array techniques in the aeroacoustic wind tunnel at the Brandenburg Technical University at Cottbus, is used for the validation of the numerical method. The key objective of the analysis is to examine the influence of the parameters of the configuration on the noise generation. The results show reasonable agreement with the experimental data in terms of far-field acoustics.
