  2. Background Using OpenFOAM Summary Outline Background 1 Hydroacoustics Turbulence modelling Using OpenFOAM 2 Results - TSG Summary 3

  3. Background Using OpenFOAM Summary Hydroacoustics Background Turbomachinery simulations Noise important in numerous rotating devices Need to resolve turbulence which is the noise source Choice of turbulence model important

  4. Background Using OpenFOAM Summary Hydroacoustics Background Turbomachinery simulations Noise important in numerous rotating devices Need to resolve turbulence (which is the noise source) Choice of turbulence model important Christophe et al. (2010)

  5. Background Using OpenFOAM Summary Turbulence modelling Turbulence modelling Acoustic sources Turbulence interacting with surfaces Ideally use wall-resolved LES - fine near-wall mesh Reynolds number/complex geometries mean hybrid RANS/LES currently more feasible Chosen turbulence model Common hybrid RANS/LES model - DES Numerous modifications proposed and implemented Improved Delayed DES (IDDES) currently used
