The extended introduction in this paper reviews the theoretical modelling of leading- and trailing-edge noise, various bioinspired aerofoil adaptations to both the leading and trailing edges of blades, and how these adaptations aid in the reduction of aerofoil–turbulence interaction noise. Attention is given to the agreement between current theoretical predictions and experimental measurements, in particular, for turbulent interactions at the trailing edge of an aerofoil. Where there is a poor agreement between theoretical models and experimental data the features neglected from the theoretical models are discussed. Notably, it is known that theoretical predictions for porous trailing-edge adaptations do not agree well with experimental measurements. Previous works propose the reason for this: theoretical models do not account for surface roughness due to the porous material and thus omit a key noise source. The remainder of this paper, therefore, presents an analytical model, based upon the acoustic analogy, to predict the far-field noise due to a rough surface at the trailing edge of an aerofoil. Unlike previous roughness noise models which focus on roughness over an infinite wall, the model presented here includes diffraction by a sharp edge. The new results are seen to be in better agreement with experimental data than previous models which neglect diffraction by an edge. This new model could then be used to improve theoretical predictions for far-field noise generated by turbulent interactions with a (rough) porous trailing edge. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Frontiers of aeroacoustics research: theory, computation and experiment’.

The capability of three different perturbation approaches to tackle airframe noise problems is studied. The three approaches represent different levels of complexity and are applied to trailing edge noise problems. In the Euler-perturbation approach the linearized Euler equations without sources are used as governing acoustic equations. The sound generation and propagation is studied for several trailing edge shapes (blunt, sharp, and round trailing edges) by injecting upstream of the trailing edge test vortices into the mean-flow field. The efficiency to generate noise is determined for the trailing edge shapes by comparing the different generated sound intensities due to an initial standard vortex. Mach number scaling laws are determined varying the mean-flow Mach number. In the second simulation approach an extended acoustic analogy based on acoustic perturbation equations (APEs) is applied to simulate trailing edge noise of a flat plate. The acoustic source terms are computed from a synthetic turbulent velocity model. Furthermore, the far field is computed via additional Kirchhoff extrapolation. In the third approach the sources of the extended acoustic analogy are computed from a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of the compressible flow problem. The directivities due to a modeled and a LES based source, respectively, compare qualitatively well in the near field. In the far field the asymptotic directivities from the Kirchhoff extrapolation agree very well with the analytical solution of Howe. Furthermore, the sound pressure spectra can be shown to have similar shape and magnitude for the last two approaches.
