Modeling a glass panel
Mode 1 : ~380 Hz
Frequency (Hz)
- Choice of Vibro-Acoustic method (FE, BEM, SEA etc.) depends on wavelengths
- f interest and size of system
- Small glass panel (0.4 x 0.2 x 5e-3 m) has approx. 45 modes below 10 kHz
- This example therefore uses a deterministic (analytical) representation of the
panel and its modes
Mode 27 : ~3.9 kHz Mode 40: ~8.9 kHz
“Modal” direct fields at 1 kHz
Mode 1 : ~380 Hz Mode 27 : ~3.9 kHz Mode 40: ~8.9 kHz Normalize mode shape to have maximum velocity of 0.1 mm/s, look at radiated sound at 1kHz when mode shape radiates in a baffle (in this example, acoustic radiation calculated using boundary integral)
Abs(Re{P}) dB re:2e-5
Different modes have very different “radiation efficiencies” (below coincidence)
“Modal” direct fields
Mode 1 : ~380 Hz Mode 27 : ~3.9 kHz Mode 40: ~8.9 kHz 500 Hz 1 kHz 5 kHz Directivity of radiated field from a given mode shape changes with frequency

Random modal forces due to flow (Sff)
Fluctuating surface pressure from STAR-CCM+ can be transformed to the frequency domain and averaged over overlapping segments to give modal cross-spectral force matrices : Sff(f)
F (t) <Sff(f)> FSP(x,y,t) (x,y)
Re{Sff(1kHz)}
Random modal responses
In a random vibration analysis, the cross-spectral modal response (Sqq) is related to the cross-spectral modal forces (Sff) by
Modal dynamic stiffness matrix
Direct field response (<Spp>)
Total direct field pressure response within the cavity can be found from Sqq and the modal direct fields calculated previously.

SEA model
Reverberant response within the cavity involves short wavelength system level response (function of sound package distribution within the cavity). FE/BEM typically frequency limited for many applications and so Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) commonly used.
SEA is based on a set of power balance equations for the reverberant field (expressions developed for power input, power dissipation and power transmitted to adjacent subsystems)

Direct and reverberant fields at 500 Hz
Decreasing absorption Total field Direct field Reverberant field Increasing absorption (Ensemble average) response in the reverberant field is spatially uniform. Levels depend on sound package within vehicle. For typical sound package configurations the direct and reverberant field contributions can often both be important at the drivers ear location.

Summary
- Prediction of interior noise due to exterior flows of significant interest
in many applications (“Aero-Vibro-Acoustics”)
- Aero-Vibro-Acoustic analysis requires STAR-CCM+ model of exterior
fluctuating surface pressures and vibro-acoustic models of interior noise

- Vibro-Acoustic analysis performed:
- Hybrid (deterministic+SEA) modeling approach used
- Direct fields calculated for individual modes
- Direct fields calculated for flow induced random vibration
- Reverberant field (and total cavity response) calculated using SEA
- Example highlights that both direct and reverberant field contributions
