In this article, a hybrid method combining large eddy simulation with acoustic analogy is presented to predict three-dimensional far field noise induced by flow around a cylinder. Firstly, the governing equation including RANS equations with shear-stress transport (SST) k-ω turbulent model is numerically solved for steady flow field by using Ansys Fluent. Transient flow field is numerically solved by LES. Then, the flow field simulation results are used to compute the flow-induced noise with the FW-H integral equation method and BEM method based on Lighthill acoustic analogy equation in Actran. Before using for flow around a cylinder, accuracy of flow turbulent model in predicting turbulent flow around a cylinder is tested by comparing with available experimental data. According on the simulation result, the characteristic of the acoustic field, noise at some special points in frequency domain, the noise radiation directivity are studied. Analysis of noise distribution and frequency spectrum curves shows that dipole source takes the dominant place in the noise around a cylinder under the conditions of this article. The flow noise around a cylinder is mainly concentrated in the low frequency range.
