Abstract
We will establish a method for simultaneous measurement of pressure, temperature, position, and deformation for flow around a wing, and use this method to elucidate unsteady aerodynamic phenomena around airfoils with elastic deformation and movement, and to investigate highly efficient control methods to suppress aeroacoustics, which is a problem during takeoff and landing of aircraft.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
To simulate small unsteady aerodynamic phenomena with high fidelity by CFD solver, a high-density grid is required, and the data size produced is enormous. Therefore, larger computational resources and advanced computers are essential, so JSS will be used.
Achievements of the Year
This year, numerical analyses were carried out to elucidate the mechanisms of the TE noise using CFD and to study the establishment of CFD analysis techniques using heliblade wind tunnel test data.
For TE noise (blade trailing edge noise) generated from the NACA0012 airfoil, the influence of the grids was investigated using FaSTAR, and a data assimilation system was constructed with fewer observation points to reduce the deviation between the analytical solution and the wind tunnel test. The investigation of the grid effects confirmed that TE noise is strongly grid dependency and that its behaviour within the boundary layer is also dependent on the grid size out of the boundary layer. Furthermore, a correlation between the amplitude and the wall friction coefficient distribution was found for the pressure fluctuations on the wing surface caused by TE noise. Data assimilation experiments using the constructed data assimilation system suggested the possibility of reconstructing the flow field with TE noise using an ensemble Kalman filter with covariance expansion.
CFD analysis techniques around deformed helicopter blades using model deformation measurement (MDM) are being worked on. The MDM used in this study was acquired by the stereo digital image correlation, which provides several hundred thousand measurement points from instantaneous images. This year, the estimation technique for 3D deformed blade shapes necessary for CFD analysis of deformed blades was developed from these large-scale deformation measurement data, and the data was processed using JSS3 resources (Fig. 1).
