We present the extension of a discontinuous Galerkin framework to zonal direct-hybrid aeroacoustic simulations. This extension provides the ability to simultaneously perform a zonal large eddy simulation (LES), solving the compressible Navier–Stokes equations, and an acoustic propagation simulation, solving the acoustic perturbation equations. In doing so, the acoustic sources are exchanged without using the file system, and the bottleneck of I/O operations is avoided. This approach is well suited for large-scale simulations done in high-performance computing. The zonal LES uses the recently introduced recycling rescaling anisotropic linear forcing as a turbulent inflow method. We present a methodology to model the required Reynolds stresses based on the distribution of the turbulent kinetic energy obtained from solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations. We show at the example of a turbulent flow over a flat plate and a NACA 64418 trailing edge simulation that the chosen model of the Reynolds stresses is valid. Direct-hybrid simulation results of a NACA 0012 airfoil, including tonal self-noise and a NACA 64418 trailing edge, demonstrate the presented approach’s applicability. This zonal direct-hybrid simulation approach shows great potential for efficient hybrid computational aeroacoustic simulations in high-performance computing.
