Abstract: This presentation reviews past and current work done using inhomogeneous Rapid Distortion Theory (RDT) to develop reduced-order models for the prediction of noise generated by flow/surface interactions in geometries representative of propulsion systems which are tightly integrated with the airframe. The specific applications considered are: trailing-edge noise, generated by the interaction of a turbulent jet with a semi-infinite flat plate, and turbulence distortion and noise generation in a ...
