Airfoil self-noise is investigated on a cantilever wing with a supercritical profile with a compressible wall-resolved large-eddy simulation. The Reynolds number based on the chord is 620,000, and the angle of attack is 5°. The aerodynamic results reveal the development of a complex vortex system at the side edge, including primary, secondary, and tertiary vortices that govern aerodynamic noise production. The wall-pressure coefficient and root-mean-square pressure coefficient contours highlight the side-edge shear layer and flow impingement of the primary vortex at the pressure-side edge as important noise-generation mechanisms. Dynamic mode decomposition shows that the dominant pressure modes on the airfoil exist along primary and secondary vortex impingement lines. Far-field acoustic predictions based on both solid and porous Ffowcs-Willliams and Hawkings’ analogies demonstrate good agreement with experimental results between 1.5 and 9 kHz. Low-frequency tonal humps observed in the spectra result from duct acoustic modes excited by airfoil self-noise, a consequence of the installation effect. For this configuration, airfoil side-edge noise did not dominate over airfoil surface noise levels, suggesting that at low to moderate angles of attack, airfoil side-edge noise is not a significant contributor to the overall acoustic emissions.
