Acoustics in Automotive Industry — Finite Element Acoustics and Vibration

The noise generated by turbulent flows can come from various sources, including air conditioning systems, rotating fans, and other devices that create turbulence in the airflow.

In order to design quiet car interiors, it's important to understand the sound generation and propagation mechanisms that occur when air flows over and around various surfaces inside the car.

Aeroacoustics simulations can be used to analyze and optimize the design of car interiors, including the shape and positioning of various components, such as the seats, dashboard, and air conditioning ducts. By using advanced numerical methods and acoustic solvers, engineers can accurately predict noise levels and identify potential noise problems early in the design process, allowing for design changes to be made to reduce noise levels and improve the overall acoustic performance of the car.
