Noise Reduction by Local Application of Porous Material within Aeronautical Context (de)
* Presenting author
Abstract:
Besides the noise produced by aircraft engines, airframe noise is important in certain flight phases (e.g., landing phase). Airframe noise can be defined as sound generated by the interaction between a turbulent flow and the aircraft's geometry (e.g., landing gear noise, flap side-edge noise, or noise generated at a wing’s trailing edge). In this numerical contribution, the local application of porous material is considered for the reduction of the sound produced by the wing's trailing-edge. Local application here means substituting the latter part near the wing's trailing-edge with a porous inset. The considered wings consist of symmetric and asymmetric profiles, as well as one with a highly deflected flap. Results are presented and the advantages/disadvantages of noise reduction by porous material are discussed.
