The noise generated by a rod–airfoil configuration is investigated using unstructured Large-Eddy simulation coupled with a Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings technique. The detailed experimental database and several numerical simulations available enable an extensive validation of the proposed methodology. Similar or improved results are obtained both in the near field (surface coefficient distributions and velocity profiles) and in the acoustic far field (power spectral densities obtained with both porous and solid surfaces, and directivities) compared with the best and most recent simulations. Dipolar noise radiation at the rod vortex-shedding frequency and its harmonics are found to be dominant. Some additional quadrupolar source contributions are seen at low and high frequencies. The rod is shown to have a significant contribution to the far-field noise at grazing angles. Constructive interferences occur normal to the rod–airfoil axis, whereas destructive interferences appear at grazing angles.
