Numerical simulation of the aerodynamic flow field and radiated noise of a transonic cavity

A numerical simulation of the turbulent flow field of a transonic cavity and its associated far-field sound radiation, are presented. The test case is based on the experimental case M219 of QinetiQ. Two different turbulent simulations are performed, the first one is a URANS simulation with a k-w-EARSM turbulence model. while a DES turbulence...

Heterogeneous Domain Decompositions for the Efficient Simulation of Wave Propagation in Complex Domains

This paper advances the idea of a heterogeneous domain decomposition for Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA). Direct simulations of aeroacoustic problems are accelerated by sub-dividing the computational domain into smaller domains. In each of these sub-domains the equations, the discretization, the mesh and the time step may be different and are...

Arbitrary high order accurate time integration schemes for linear problems

Numerical schemes for wave propagation over long distances need good wave propagation properties with low dispersion and low dissipation errors. Suitable numerical methods are methods with high order of accuracy in space and time. For space discretization on structured grids, high order finite difference schemes are efficient, and, if a...

3D parallel spectral computations of fan noise

A three-dimensional computational aeroacoustics code has been developed for the simulation of tone noise generated by turbofan engine inlets. The code is based on the linearized Euler equations, rewritten in terms of acoustic potential and solved in the frequency domain. Spatial discretization is performed using a spectral element method....

Stabilization of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in 3D linearized Euler equations using a non-dissipative discontinuous Galerkin method

We present in this paper a time-domain Discontinuous Galerkin dissipation-free method for the transient solution of the three-dimensional linearized Euler equations around a steady-state solution. In the general context of a non-uniform supporting flow, we prove, using the well-known symmetrization of Euler equations, that some aeroacoustic...
