Abstract

Within the framework of this study, two hybrid LES/RANS turbulence models, namely the limited numerical scales model (LNS) and the very large eddy simulation model (VLES), are investigated for the aeroacoustic simulation based on a NACA0012 test case. The angle of attack is set to 0, 10.8 and 14.4. The simulation results are compared with that of the well-established large eddy simulation (LES) model.
