On LAGOON Nose Landing Gear CFD/CAA Computation over Unstructured Mesh using a ZDES approach

Abstract

This paper is part of ONERA's effort to compute the noise generation around landing gears, effort that has been shown with studies on a variety of configurations such as the ones included inside the BANC-II (Benchmark problems for Airframe Noise Computations). In this case, the addressed geometry is the LAGOON baseline nose landing gear. On the present computation, a refined unstructured mesh is generated for resolving the boundary layer up to y around one. The simulation of the flow was performed using a Zonal Detached Eddy Simulation (ZDES) model, implemented inside ONERA's code CEDRE. The transient data obtained were used as input for a Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings computation over the skin of the landing gear and on a porous surface around it, which was performed using ONERA's in-house code KIM. Both the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic results are compared with the experimental ones obtained at F2 and CEPRA19 test campaigns. The comparisons obtained show a good agreement in terms of mean field, wall pressure (mean and spectral content) and aeroacoustic far-field measurements.
