The rod-airfoil configuration is used to investigate the interactive phenomenon experimentally and nu- merically. Distribution of unsteady pressure on the airfoil surface is measured for different rod positions and airfoil attack angles. Two National Advisory Committee for Aeronatics （NACA） airfoils, NACA0012 and NACA0018, and two wind turbine airfoils, S809 and S825 are investigated. In addition, for low angles of attack, the flow field around the airfoil＇s leading edge is investigated with the particle image velocimetry （PIV）. The experimental results indicate that unsteady pressure disturbances on the airfoil surface are related to the rod vortex shedding. Meanwhile, the interaction flow field of the rod and NACA0012 airfoil is simulated with the unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes method （URANS）, and the obtained pressure spectra are compared with the experimental results.展开更多

The anisotropic incoming turbulence is generated by a rod with a diameter of 10 mm. The incoming flow velocity is 40 m/s and the corresponding Reynolds numbers based on airfoil chord and rod diameter are about 397000 and 26000, respectively. The far-field acoustic field is predicted using an acoustic analogy method which has been validated by the experiment. A straight leading edge airfoil and a wavy leading edge airfoil are simulated. The results show that wavy leading edge increases the airfoil lift and drag whereas the lift and drag fluctuations are substantially reduced. In addition, wavy leading edge can significantly change the flow pattern around the leading edge and a pair of counter-rotating streamwise vortices stemming from each wavy leading edge peak are observed.An averaged noise reduction of 9.5 dB is observed with the wavy leading edge at the azimuthal angle of 90°. Moreover, the wavy leading edge can mitigate noise radiation at all the azimuthal angles without significantly changing the noise directivity. The underlying noise reduction mechanisms are then analyzed in detail.展开更多

The vortical structures around the rod-airfoil are computed by the LES and captured by the vortex identification （Q）. The acoustic predictions are verified by the measurements. It is shown that the computed results by the two hybrid approa- ches （LES and FW-H, LES and Powell） are very similar. Both are shown to be satisfactory in the prediction of the noise generated by an unsteady flow. Subsequently, the numerical simulations of the wall pressure fluctuations and the flow-induced noise of a NACA0015 airfoil are made by the two hybrid approaches. At two angles of attack （ 0~ and 8~ ）, the wall pressure fluctuations of the NACA0015 airfoil are computed. The obtained power spectra of the wall pressure fluctuations are analyzed and compared with the measured data.

After that, the flow induced noises of the NACA0015 airfoil at two angles of attack are predicted by the two hybrid approaches （LES and FW-H, LES and Powell）. The radiated sound spectra are analyzed and compared with the experimental data. Comparisons show that both are robust, credible and satisfactory in the numerical prediction of the flow induced noise.
