Numerical analysis of a 3-D printed porous trailing edge for broadband noise reduction

Lattice Boltzmann simulations were carried out to investigate the noise mitigation mechanisms of a 3-D printed porous trailing-edge insert, elucidating the link between noise reduction and material permeability. The porous insert is based on a unit cell resembling a lattice of diamond atoms. It replaces the last 20 % chord of a NACA 0018 at...

Numerical Study on Trailing-Edge Noise Attenuation using 3D-Printed Porous Insert

This manuscript presents a numerical investigation of an open-cell 3D-printed perme-able/porous insert used to reduce turbulent boundary layer-trailing edge (TBL-TE) noise. The matrix topology of the insert resembles the lattice of diamond atoms, and thus, it is also referred to as the diamond trailing edge (TE). The porous insert replaces...

Numerical Analysis of Metal-Foam Application for Trailing Edge Noise Reduction

This manuscript presents a numerical investigation of the turbulent boundary layer-trailing edge (TBL-TE) noise reduction with an open-cell porous material. The implementation of the porous media is verified by emulating a facility for characterizing the flow resistivity of the porous material. Subsequently, the porous media is applied on the...
