This paper is concerned with the effect of weak acoustic excitation on a separated flow over an airfoil. Two-dimensional numerical simulations are performed for an NACA0012 airfoil at an angle of attack α= 12 in the flow with the main stream Mach number M= 0.1 and chord Reynolds numbers, Re= 5× 10 4 and 1× 10 5. The amplitude of the external sound pressure is set at 0.05% of the static pressure at infinity. It is shown that the acoustic waves with appropriate frequencies make time-averaged lift coefficients higher. This effective frequency range depends on the Reynolds number; its mean value agrees with the experimental results of Zaman et al. for different airfoils. In the effective frequency range, the maximum vorticity in the laminar boundary layer of the airfoil becomes larger. On the other hand, the amplitudes of lift coefficient oscillation have the same dependence on the acoustic excitation frequency for both Reynolds numbers.
