Advanced Modeling & Simulation Seminar Series
February 9, 2016, 11:00 AM PTLarge Eddy Simulation of Airfoil Self-Noise
Building N258, Auditorium (Rm 127)
Speaker: Joseph George Kocheemoolayil, Ph.D. Candidate, Stanford University
While significant strides have been made towards using large eddy simulations (LES) for predicting airfoil self-noise, they have been largely restricted to canonical configuration at low Reynolds numbers. This seminar will summarize the progress made towards extending the scope of LES-based predictions to full-scale Reynolds numbers and non-cannonical configurations, such as noise generated by flow past an airfoil in the near-stall and post-stall regimes.
