Industry and Expert Collaborations DESTINY Aeroacoustics Projects (2002 - 2005) – German Auto manufacturers – Aeroacoustics Working Group (2005-7 – and 2009-11) Daimler, BMW, Audi, VW, Porsche » Acoustic partner collaborations – LMS through BEM codes SYSNOISE and V.Lab.Acoustics » FFT’s FEA code, ACTRAN » ESI’s SEA code, VA -One » Aero-Vibroacoustics – External flow excitation, internal structural noise transmission » Internal flow excitation, external structural noise transmission » One of the originators in the field, Paul Bremner, expert advisor to CD-adapco » LES for Acoustics, Cambridge University Press – http://www.cambridge.org/us/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521871441

Introduction – CFD, with the correct physical models…. » Is very capable of simulating the sources of aeroacoustic noise Directly (LES) for applications in the low Reynolds number range - Indirectly (RANS) using broadband syntesization models - » Also possible to propagate the noise – STAR-CCM+ provides the software tools to extract the maximum value from the CFD process in Aeroacoustics CAE » Dedicated Training programme for Aeroacoustics – CD-adapco sees as its responsibility to deliver the validated tools, with the best-practice advice; stating value and limitations

Steady-state: Mesh Frequency Cut-off Estimator – Unique to STAR – Estimates the resolvable frequency from steady-state results – Informs user of CFD grid suitability early in the process – E.g. Frequency of up to1000Hz in mirror wake example

Transient capabilities LES-type turbulence model – DES (options of Spalart-Allmaras, k- ε, k - ωSST ) » DES advection scheme blending » Full LES (wall resolved or unresolved) » Advanced wall treatment – y+ insensitive » Non-reflecting conditions for – Inflow and outflow boundaries » Full Compressibility – Interaction between the flow and acoustics » Especially for cavity resonance - Most efficient commercial transient solver – 2 nd order space and time discretisation » Spectral Analysis – » FFT at points and surfaces Auto and Cross spectra – coherence and phase » Frequency and Wave Number Fourier analysis »

Validated Methodology Monitor point in mirror wake – STAR Experiment Tail-off in predicted spectrum at mesh cut-off frequency of ~1000 Hz –

Validated Methodology Surface FFT (dB) at 500Hz (top) and 1000Hz (bottom)

Direct Propagation in STAR-CCM+ – Mesh requirement » 20 cells per acoustic wavelength ( λ = c / f ) In ambient conditions, you need cells of ~15mm to propagate a signal at - 1000Hz Domain size = 1000D, (~10 λ ) - – Non-reflective in/outflow boundaries
