Coflow-jet (CFJ) airfoil is a new type of zero-net mass flux active flow control of the airfoils. The concept was proposed by Zha et al from Miami University and presents several extraordinary aerodynamic characteristics like: super-lift coefficient, small or even negative drag coefficient and almost stall free behaviour. All these make the CFJ airfoils suitable for highly efficient airplanes including electric airplanes with distributed thrust. This paper presents an evaluation of the broadband aeroacoustic noise of a NACA 6415 CFJ airfoil and compares it with the basic NACA 6415. Numerical simulation for aerodynamic and aeroacoustic field using Navier –Stokes equations and aeroacoustic analogies are conducted with Ansys Fluent and Msc Actran solvers.
