Abstract

The self-noise of an isolated controlled-diffusion aerofoil is investigated using direct noise computations. The high-order finite difference solver HiPSTAR is used to conduct four large eddy simulations and one direct numerical simulation. The motivation is to investigate the multiple sources of aerofoil self-noise on a realistic compressor blade geometry, the physical mechanisms leading to the generation of sound, and the influence of compressibility effects. The angle of attack is 8°, the chord-based Reynolds number is 105, and results obtained for four values of the free-stream Mach number [0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5] are compared. For those flow parameters, the pressure side is fully laminar, w..
