This paper proposes an innovative numerical technique for computing the aeroacousticresponse function of an airfoil subjected to incoming turbulence, accounting for trailing-edge back-scattering effects and valid in the high-frequency subsonic compressible regime.The methodology is based on the linearized potential flow equations, rewritten as theHelmholtz equation, and solved using a Boundary Element Method (BEM) solver. Thisapproach permits to account for some realistic airfoil geometry effect. It has been validatedagainst Amiet theory for non-compact incident wavenumbers, showing good agreementfor both direct propagation and back-scattering correction. Finally, this methodology isapplied to a NACA-0012 wake-airfoil interaction case with wake parameters obtained fromexperimental data, showing trends in good agreement with literature.status: publishe
