The aerospace sector plays a very important role in the Canadian economy and leads in innovation with 7 times the Canadian manufacturing sector average in R&D investment. In aviation, aircraft noise emission and how it affects communities remain an important concern and risk for growth of the industry. Aviation experts and regulators recognize that enabling the growth in air traffic anticipated by 2025-2030 will require drastic reductions in aircraft noise emissions. For small to mid size commercial aircraft, such as the ones manufactured by Bombardier, the dominant sources of airframe noise are the landing gears and high-lift devices (e.g., slats and flaps). The focus of this project is on the noise produced from the flap system of the wing. One of the key challenges to be addressed is to gain a better understanding of the nature of the noise emission due to the flap system and how the different sources of noise can be mitigated. Noise generation from airframe components is a complex phenomena that involves fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, acoustic and interactions between the three disciplines. While computational aeroacoustics (CAA) can provide some insights, the field of aeroacoustics still relies heavily on wind tunnel experiments and flight tests for fundamental understanding of the phenomena and validation of CAA simulations. This project will consist primarily of wind tunnel tests, supported by CAA simulations by the industrial partner Bombardier. In this manner, an additional important contribution from the project will be to enable improvements and validation of the CAA tools used in the design of new aircraft. The experiments will consider a number of elements from the flap system that can lead to different noise generation mechanisms, including the flap edge and flap track actuators. This will be considered for a wing model without and with sweep. The results will lead to better fundamental understanding of the physical mechanisms responsible for noise emission, a detailed experimental database for CAA validation and improved best practice recommendation for future aircraft design.

航空航天部门在加拿大经济中发挥着非常重要的作用，并在创新方面处于领先地位，其研发投资是加拿大制造业平均水平的7倍。在航空业，飞机噪音排放及其对社区的影响仍然是该行业增长的一个重要问题和风险。航空专家和监管机构认识到，要实现2025-2030年预计的空中交通增长，将需要大幅减少飞机噪音排放。对于小型到中型商用飞机，例如由庞巴迪制造的飞机，机身噪声的主要来源是起落架和增升装置（例如，缝翼和襟翼）。该项目的重点是从机翼襟翼系统产生的噪声。需要解决的关键挑战之一是更好地了解襟翼系统产生的噪声的性质以及如何减轻不同的噪声源。机体部件噪声的产生是一个复杂的现象，涉及到流体力学、空气动力学、声学以及三个学科之间的相互作用。虽然计算航空声学（CAA）可以提供一些见解，但航空声学领域仍然严重依赖于风洞实验和飞行试验，以从根本上理解CAA模拟的现象和验证。该项目将主要包括风洞测试，并由工业合作伙伴庞巴迪的CAA模拟提供支持。通过这种方式，该项目的另一个重要贡献将是改进和验证用于新飞机设计的CAA工具。实验将考虑襟翼系统的一些元件，这些元件可能导致不同的噪声产生机制，包括襟翼边缘和襟翼轨迹致动器。这将被考虑用于无后掠和有后掠的机翼模型。研究结果将有助于更好地理解噪声排放的物理机制，为CAA验证提供详细的实验数据库，并为未来的飞机设计提供改进的最佳实践建议。
