The hydrodynamic pressure fluctuations over the suction side of a NACA 0018 airfoil with trailing-edge add-ons are obtained from integration of time-resolved stereoscopic particle image velocimetry data and compared to ones computed with the Lattice Boltzmann method. The airfoil is retrofitted with solid and slitted serrated trailing edges. Analysis of the data confirms that the intensity of the pressure fluctuations along the edge of the serrations decreases from the root to the tip. Spectra of the pressure fluctuations vary in the stream-wise direction, which might be caused by the shear at the edge of the serration and by the flow seeping through the empty space in-between them. Results from slitted serrations show that they enhance the intensity of the pressure fluctuations at the root, with critical repercussion on their effectiveness in noise reduction.
