Abstract
In order to meet the projected demand for air travel, strengthen the international competitiveness of Japan’s airports, and improve passenger convenience, major airports are considering increasing the number of takeoffs and landings. To achieve noise reduction in the areas surrounding airports even with the expected increase in the number of takeoffs and landings, it is necessary to increase the maturity of the technology for reducing airframe noise generated by high-lift devices and landing gear. In this project, we have developed a flight test plan using a commercial aircraft to demonstrate airframe noise reduction as part of activities aimed at practical development of airframe noise reduction technology. Computational simulations were used to verify the feasibility of practical noise reduction concepts and design methods. This computational activity is to evaluate a new advanced large-scale computational simulation method that is being developed.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
The JSS3 enabled a large number of high-fidelity Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations with aerodynamically-important details in several flight configurations in the expected flight envelop to be conducted in a timely manner. The aerodynamic effect of low-noise devices can be evaluated and quantified, which is difficult to obtain only with wind tunnel tests.
Achievements of the Year
As an improvement of CFD technology for evaluating the effectiveness of aircraft noise reduction, an immersed boundary method was attempted to be implemented for the unstructured solver FaSTAR, which eliminates the need for a high-density mesh near the object by modeling the boundary layer on the object and dramatically reducing the analysis time. As an initial verification, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations were performed with two- and three-dimensional airfoils, and the results were compared with those of conventional simulations using a high-density mesh near the object to identify areas for improvement.
