Abstract
Noise generated from the jet engine is dominant to total aircraft noise level and it is very important to reduce this. In this project, demonstration of exhaust noise reduction by changing exhaust duct shape, and study of fan noise reduction technique by numerical analysis are carried out.

Use of the Supercomputer
Numerical analyses of fan noise are carried out. To capture fan noise by numerical analysis, large-scale calculations are required, so we use supercomputers for numerical analyses and post-processing of data.
Necessity of the Supercomputer
To capture fan noise by numerical analyses simulating real fans, it is necessary to conduct large-scale calculations (number of grids is 100 million points or more), so it cannot be calculated without supercomputers.
Achievements of the Year
The data obtained in the calculations including the tip clearance of the fan rotor blades conducted last fiscal year were processed. It was confirmed whether the tip clearance had an influence on the fan noise by comparing with the calculation result without the blade tip clearance which was performed before.
※ This calculation was conducted based on joint research with IHI Co., Ltd.
