Computational simulations using structured curvilinear overset grids with the Launch Ascent and Vehicle Aerodynamics (LAVA) framework are presented for predicting the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic behavior of a contra-rotating open rotor (CROR) propulsion system using a newly developed and computationally efficient sliding mesh technique. A comprehensive evaluation of two turbulence closure treatments is carried out as part of the scope of this work: Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Simulation (URANS), and Hybrid RANS/LES (HRLES). The computed results are then validated against existing experimental measurements at both the nominal take-off and cruise flight conditions. To propagate the noise generated by the near-field CROR system, aeroacoustic analysis based on a frequency-domain permeable surface Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) approach is applied.
