The paper is dealing with the experimental validation of an analytical trailing-edge noise model dedicated to low-speed fans operating in free field.The model is intrinsically related to the aerodynamics of the blades and should lead to a useful fast-running tool to be included in a blade design process in an industrial context. The investigations are made on a two- = distance between the fan axis and the mid-span network r 2 = distance between the fan axis and the tip network R = radial distance R 0 = distance between observer position and fan center R A = position vector of the middle of the trailing-edge segment in the moving reference frame R e = Reynolds number= corrected distance for convection effects S pp = acoustic pressure power spectral density S Ψ pp = acoustic pressure power spectral density due to one blade segment U = tangential velocity U c = convection velocity (x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ) = moving reference frame x = observer position in the moving reference frame (X, Y, Z) = fixed reference frame X = observer position in the fixed reference frame α g = airfoil angle of attack= cross spectral phase between signals i and j Φ pp = wall-pressure power spectral densitỹ Φ pp = normalized wall-pressure power spectral density Θ = azimuthal observer angle ρ = fluid density τ w = wall shear stress ω = radian frequency ω e = emission radian frequency Ω = fan angular velocity ξ = streamwise distance
