Abstract
Innovative drag reduction technologies are investigated to reduce the fuel consumption for a conventional aircraft configuration. Aircraft noise prediction technologies and the conceptual design technologies are also developed for future aircraft which achieve low noise and high efficiency.

Reasons for using JSS2
The JSS2 is used to develop the airframe, engine, and interference noise prediction tools that have high or middle fidelities for applicable to MDO design with high fidelity CFD and FEM analysis. The airframe-engine installation and/or shielding effects are one of important key issues for the future aircraft. The accuracy of current low fidelity analysis for the airframe, engine, and interference noise prediction is not good enough for application to MDO design with high fidelity CFD and FEM analysis toward the future low-noise aircrafts. The JSS2 is required for development of high or middle fidelity noise prediction tools for competitiveness in technology.
Achievements of the Year
The accuracy of the airframe, engine, and interference noise prediction tools was evaluated by increasing the resolution of sound sources on the complex geomeries. In JAXA’s multi-block structured grid CFD solver, UPACS, the resolution for sound sources was improved by employing the 5th-order scheme using a low-dissipation upwind SLAU scheme and changing the subgrid length scale in Delayed-Detached Eddy Simulation (DDES) to better predict development of shear layer on the stretched grid, etc. The effects were evaluated by analysis on aircraft aeroacoustic noise problems with changing grid densities.
