A model of the spectrum of wall-pressure fluctuations under a turbulent boundary layer based on an analytical solution of the Poisson equation is presented. This model is suited for aeroacoustic prediction based on CFD-extracted flow information but requires statistical properties of the boundary-layer turbulence that are not resolved in steady-state simulations and need to be modelled. For this reason, this paper uses Lattice-Boltzmann (DNS-LBM) and Navier-Stokes Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS-NS) of an airfoil in a wind-tunnel jet to investigate the link between turbulence and wall-pressure statistics and validate the assumptions made in the application of the analytical model. The use of input from two numerical simulation methods allows generalizing the results of the analytical model.
