Abstract
Numerical aeroacoustic analysis using the Shear Stress Transport–Scale Adaptive Simulation turbulence model was conducted on a weapon bay model based on the M219 geometry with doors incorporating radar cross-section reduction features. The effect of the introduction of a gap between the doors and the cavity edge on the aeroacoustic and structural response of the cavity was analyzed at Mach 0.85. The effect of introducing 3 deg of sideslip was also investigated. Both mean and unsteady flow analyses were conducted. The results showed a strong palliative effect of the door gap with and without sideslips. The overall analysis of the spectral signature on the forces and moments acting on the doors indicated the possibility of fluid–acoustic coupling, as all acoustic spectra showed a predominant tone located at the same frequency of the first structural mode.
