Simulation analysis and experiment research are performed on the aeroacoustic noise of a landing gear component in this paper. Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) is used to produce the flow field of the model. The Ffowcs-Williams/Hawkings (FW-H) equation is used to calculate the acoustic field. The sound field radiated from the model is measured in the acoustic wind tunnel. A comparison shows that the simulation results agree well with the experiment results under the acoustic far field condition. The results show that the noise radiated from the model is broadband noise. The directivity of the noise source is like a type of dipole. The location between shock absorber and strut, shock absorber and bogie can induce the interaction noise which is presented by two energy peaks in the spectra. The shock absorber and the bogie is the main contributor while the strut is the least contributor to the total noise.

The flow around a generic airliner landing-gear truck is calculated using the methods of Detached-Eddy Simulation, and of Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations, with the Spalart-Allmaras one-equation model. The two simulations have identical numerics, using a multi-block structured grid with about 2.5 million points. The Reynolds number is 6×105. Comparison to the experiment of Lazos shows that the simulations predict the pressure on the wheels accurately for such a massively separated flow with strong interference. DES performs somewhat better than URANS. Drag and lift are not predicted as well. The time-averaged and instantaneous flow fields are studied, particularly to determine their suitability for the physics-based prediction of noise. The two time-averaged flow fields are similar, though the DES shows more turbulence intensity overall. The instantaneous flow fields are very dissimilar. DES develops a much wider range of unsteady scales of motion and appears promising for noise prediction, up to some frequency limit.

This paper provides an up-to-date survey of the use of zonal detached eddy simulations (ZDES) for unsteady civil aircraft applications as a reflection on the stakes and perspectives of the use of hybrid methods in the framework of industrial aerodynamics. The issue of zonal or non-zonal treatment of turbulent flows for engineering applications is discussed. The ZDES method used in this article and based on a fluid problem-dependent zonalization is briefly presented. Some recent landmark achievements for conditions all over the flight envelope are presented, including low-speed (aeroacoustics of high-lift devices and landing gear), cruising (engine–airframe interactions), propulsive jets and off-design (transonic buffet and dive manoeuvres) applications. The implications of such results and remaining challenges in a more global framework are further discussed.

Abstract The present article deals with the Zonal Detached Eddy Simulation of the fan module of a modern turbofan engine. The fan module, tested at the AneCom facility, is equipped with rotating fan blades and stationary outlet guide vanes (OGV). The simulation was performed to capture the interaction of the turbulent fan wakes with the OGV walls. The final goal of this simulation is the prediction of the associated broadband noise, not adressed here. In this paper, only the aerodynamic aspects are treated. The simulation relies on a hybrid RANS/LES approach with a zonal strategy: the core airflow is treated in RANS while the bypass airflow is solved with the hybrid approach. Mesh criteria meeting both RANS/LES and acoustic requirements were fulfilled, leading to a mesh of 380 million cells. The simulation was performed during five revolutions and statistical convergence was reached. Inspections of the flow-fields highlight a consistent behaviour of the shielding function (border between RANS and LES solving areas) around the blade walls, at the trailing-edge and in the tip gap flow areas. Comparisons with performance and hot-wire measurements are also presented. Aerodynamic performance and radial evolution of averaged velocities on a plane in-between the fan and the OGV are well retrieved, both in shape and levels. For the turbulent quantities, the shape of the radial profiles are close to the measurements, with much better accuracy in the upper region compared to the RANS solution.

A four-wheel rudimentary landing gear is studied numerically by detached eddy simulation (DES) based on the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model. The surface sound pressure level and sound pressure spectra are calculated using the obtained unsteady flow field. The investigation shows that DES can describe the steady and unsteady properties in the flow around rudimentary landing gear. It can give reasonable results since the flow around the landing gear is a massive separated flow. The results prove the feasibility of DES type methods in massive separated unsteady flow field and aerodynamic noise prediction for landing gear, and can be used in the study of landing gear noise reduction.
