in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The objective of this workshop was to assess the present computational capability in the area of physics-based prediction of different types of airframe noise problems and to advance the state-of-the-art via a combined effort. This documentation summarizes the results from workshop category 1 (BANC-III-1) which focuses on the prediction of broadband turbulent boundary-layer trailing-edge noise and related source quantities. Since the forerunner BANC-II workshop identified some room for improvements in the achieved prediction quality, BANC-III-1 relies on the same test cases, namely 2D NACA 0012 and DU96-W-180 airfoil sections in a uniform flow.Compared to BANC-II particularly the scatter among predictions for the DU96-W-180 test case could be significantly reduced. However, proposed adaptations of previously applied computational methods did not systematically improve the prediction quality for all requested parameters. The category 1 workshop problem remains a challenging simulation task due to its high requirements on resolving and modeling of turbulent boundary-layer source quantities.Downloaded by PURDUE UNIVERSITY on July 26, 2015 | http://arc.aiaa.org |
Reliable predictions for wind turbines become more and more difficult with the increase in overall size and weight. On the one hand external factors such as the influence of wind shear become more important for bigger turbines, internal factors such as structural layout and challenges in the manufacturing process need to be addressed on the other hand. Accurate aerodynamic simulations are an essential requirement for further analyses of aeroelastic stability and aeroacoustic footprint. While the calculations in all of these individual disciplines are challenging the combined simulation of all these disciplines, namely the multidisciplinary simulation is a tough but gainful undertaking. This task is being addressed in the DLR project MERWind which will be presented here. The focus of the paper lays on the aerodynamic and aeroelastic simulation of the NREL 5MW wind turbine using high-fidelity methods.
Edge noise is generated if turbulence interacts with solid edges. Reduction of trailing edge noise of airfoils can be achieved by replacing the solid material at the trailing edge by inlays of porous permeable material. The acoustic benefit of approximately 6 dB of such treatment is known from experiments. Enroute to numerically optimized porous properties, this paper presents a first principle based Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) method for predicting the acoustic effect of a porous NACA0012 trailing edge. In a hybrid two-step CFD/CAA procedure the turbulence statistics from a solution of the Volume Averaged Navier-Stokes (VANS) equations is used as a basis for the prediction of turbulent-boundarylayer trailing-edge noise (TBL-TEN). For the acoustic part of the calculation, the Acoustic Perturbation Equations (APE) are solved in the flow field. Inside the porous regions, a different set of governing equations, referred to as Linear Perturbation Equations (LPE) will be solved. The LPE represent a modified form of the Linearized Euler Equations (LEE) with the APE vorticity source term shifted to the right-hand side. The new set of equations is derived by volume averaging the Navier-Stokes equations and decomposing the flow variables into a time-averaged mean part and a fluctuating part and isolating the vorticity source term to the right-hand side of the momentum equation. The LPE are verified by an analytical solution. The simulation results of a NACA0012 airfoil geometry with and without porous trailing edge treatment are compared to wind tunnel measurements. The noise reduction effect of such a trailing edge treatment is successfully demonstrated.
The aim of this work is to provide insights into the advantages and the limitations of the extension of a strong viscous-inviscid interactive code for modeling the effects of vortex generators, with focus on the calibration and validation for wind turbine airfoils. The proposed methodology relies on the approach proposed by other authors in the past and introduces an alternative formulation for the lag dissipation within the integral boundary-layer equations whose effects on the numerical prediction are evaluated. Besides the verification of the aeronautical test cases, particular attention is devoted to the validation of the results for several airfoils commonly used in wind turbine design. A blind test for airfoils from an industrial test case is conducted as well. Results show that the maximum lift coefficient can be well predicted by the present implementation, whereas the angle of maximum lift is a little higher than in wind tunnel measurements. Apart from that, the drag coefficients of airfoils with vortex generators cannot be predicted by the current implementation, but it is expected that the maximum lift and the stall angle of attack are more important in the design phase, since they determine power, loads, and noise.
Arbeitsgemeinschaft) founded towards the end of the 1970s, whereas DGLR is the German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luftund Raumfahrt -Lilienthal Oberth e.V.).The mission of STAB is to foster aerodynamics research and its appreciation in Germany. This is accomplished by creating vivid forums for scientific discussions and by disseminating most recent research results, thereby enhancing scientific progress and avoiding unnecessary duplication in research work. Particularly today, this is more crucial than ever. Thanks to the experience and methodologies gained in the past, it is now easier to obtain new knowledge for solving today's and tomorrow's problems. STAB unites German scientists and engineers from universities, research establishments and the industry, involved in research and project work in the field of numerical and experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics for aerospace, ground transportation and other applications. This is a solid basis for numerous common research activities sponsored by different funding agencies.Since 1986, the symposium has taken place at different locations in Germany every two years. In between, STAB workshops have been held regularly at the DLR in Göttingen. The various symposia locations across Germany represent focal points in Germany's Aerospace Fluid Mechanics Community. The STAB symposia and workshops provide excellent forums where new research activities can be presented, often resulting in new jointly organized research and technology projects.It is the eleventh time that the contributions to the symposium are published after being subjected to a peer review. The present contributions highlight the current key area of integrated research and development based on the fruitful collaboration of industry, research establishments and universities. The research areas include v airplane and ground vehicle aerodynamics, multidisciplinary optimization and new configurations, turbulence research and modelling, laminar flow control and transition, rotorcraft aerodynamics, aeroelasticity and structural dynamics, numerical and experimental simulation including test techniques, aeroacoustics as well as biomedical and convective flows.From some 77 lectures presented at the symposium, 67 are included in this book. The review board, partly identical with the programme committee, consisted of: K
