Abstract
The increasing interest in the noise prediction of the turbulent flows is leading the general purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software developers to integrate noise predicting methods into their code. However the aeroacoustic simulation of free shear flows, where the mean source of noise is the turbulent fluctuations in the free space is challenging with a general purpose CFD application. The aim of this work is to investigate the capabilities of commercial CFD software in the field of noise prediction of free shear flows. The important acoustical properties of a low Reynolds number, low Mach number axisymmetric (2D) jet is computed by means of hybrid Computational Aeroacoustic method using Fluent. The noise source is computed without modeling instantaneously using the compressible solver of the code, and the far field acoustical data is evaluated by the Ffowcs‐Williams‐Hawkings acoustical analogy. The results is compared to the Direct Numerical Simulation of [Jiang2004 J. Sound Vib.] in terms of frequency spectra in the far field and directivity pattern of the jet.
