Abstract
The aerodynamics and also noise produced by aeroengines is a critical topic in engine design. Hybrid Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes-Large-Eddy Simulation (RANSLES), is used to investigate the influence of upstream internal geometry on jet flow and noise. The methods are validated using an isolated nozzle. Internal geometry is added using approximated Immersed Boundary Methods (IBMs) and Body Force Methods (BFMs) reducing grid complexity and cost. Installed coaxial nozzles including an intake, wing and flap and internally, the fan, outlet guide vanes (OGVs) and other large features are modelled. These large scale multi-fidelity, multi-physics calculations are shown to reveal substantial new aeroacoustic insights into an installed aeroengine. The turbulence generated internally introduces a complex unsteady nozzle exit flow. This accelerates inner shear layer development moving it one jet diameter upstream and reduces the potential core length by 5%. For the more intense outer shear layer, the effect appears secondary.
