Progress in Hybrid RANS-LES Modelling

Abstract

Detached eddy simulation (DES) is shown to be a suitable method for the simulation of the sound generation of turbulent flows, because it provides access to the resolved turbulent scales at minimal computational cost. The near-wall region is solved efficiently by RANS while LES is applied to all regions containing scales important for the noise generation. In addition to the usual LES resolution requirements, for acoustics the smallest of these scales are defined by the highest frequencies of interest. The sound radiation is generally computed by solving an integral over a data surface surrounding the source region outside the turbulent flow. The grid must be fine enough to resolve the sources and the propagation between the sources and the data surface. Examples for the simulation of noise emission problems are presented for the influence of nozzle serrations on jet mixing noise and three airframe noise sources, which are rod-airfoil interaction noise, the noise of high-lift devices, and airfoil self noise.
