The aim of this study is to calculate flow noise of a car model at a far field location. Aeroacoustic calculations for non-reduced models require excessive computing source. Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FWH) method is one of the most effective methods of Computational Aero Acoustics (CAA) in terms of computational cost. The FWH method is a hybrid method, which consists of a near field flow solution and then a linear acoustic propagation to far field. Acoustic sources around the vehicle must be captured accurately. A detailed, unsteady turbulent flow simulation is required due to the nature of noise generation mechanisms. The sound generated by such sources is propagated to far field using FWH integral equations that are implemented in a FORTRAN code. The results are compared with a wind tunnel test.

In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of flow around thick have been performed. Thick airfoils are generally preferred in wind turbine blades for structural and aerodynamic performances. High Reynolds flows around thick airfoils are one of the challenging problems in wind turbine blade design due to turbulent, separated and complex flow field characteristics. In the CFD analyses, both 2-D RANS simulation approach on structured computational grids is considered. Grid sensitivity study is al...
