We present the first resolvent method-based prediction of airfoil trailing-edge noise. Said noise prediction is obtained by using resolvent method pressure predictions as input to Amiet's theory. This framework is tested by comparing the noise prediction to results obtained from using DNS data as input to Amiet's theory. We subsequently analyse whether the resolvent method predicts the incident, scattered or total pressure field, to establish which expression of Amiet's theory to use. The resolvent method is found to capture the total pressure field, even accounting for the interaction of the incident and scattered pressure fields. The analysis is conducted for an acoustically sharp NACA0012 airfoil at zero incidence, and marks an exciting step in the development of a low-cost, physics-driven, hybrid computational aeroacoustics approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
