Abstract
The laminar–turbulent transition has an important effect on the near-field flows past high-lift devices, but its effects on the far-field noise are not fully clear. To explore the influence of the transition on both flows and noise, the improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) method based on the k-ω-γ transition model (Tr-IDDES) is applied to simulate the flows past a finite-span wing with the multi-element foil of 30P30N, while the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) equation is solved to obtain the acoustic properties. Moreover, the data from the available measurements and IDDES based on the full turbulent model (FT-IDDES) are compared. First, the Tr-IDDES method is validated by simulating the near-field unsteady flow past the 30P30N foil at a Reynolds number of 9.0 × 106 through a comparison of velocity profiles at several streamwise sections. Tr-IDDES performs much better than FT-IDDES. The unsteady flows and noise past the same configuration at a Reynolds number of 1.7 × 106 are then simulated using Tr-IDDES and FT-IDDES. The instantaneous flow structures, mean pressure and velocity profiles, pressure fluctuations and far-field noise are compared and analysed with and without transition effects. The slat noise predicted by Tr-IDDES is close to that by FT-IDDES, but the main wing noise is lower than that by FT-IDDES, resulting in lower total far-field noise.
