Popis: Aeroacoustics is the field of studying flow-induced sound, which results from the interaction of unsteady flow with solid structures, such as aircraft and automobiles. Different methods are available to achieve this, including theoretical, experimental, and computational methods. Due to the high costs of experiments, the concentration on computational methods has increased. Computational aeroacoustics (CAA), based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), has received special attention from researchers because of its outstanding capability to get acceptable results with reasonable computational costs. The partially-Averaged Navier Stokes (PANS) method is a hybrid LES/RANS method based on dynamic resolution parameters. The SSVPANS method is a k---f based PANS method with an additional modeled equation for the resolved kinetic energy. This method has been implemented in FASTEST, an in-house finitevolume solver to compute the flows in complex applications. This study aims to investigate the aeroacoustic performance of the SSV-PANS method compared to a reference Large-eddy Simulation [1] regarding the computational accuracy and costs. To do this, hybrid method based on decomposing the fluid variables into incompressible hydrodynamics and compressible perturbation equations is used to study the aerodynamic noise. The aeroacoustic sources are computed from the incompressible flow field using the SSV-PANS method. In addition, the Kirchhoff wave extrapolation method is used to have an efficient evaluation of the far-field noise.
