Aeroacoustics engineering insights
Practical technical notes on flow-generated noise, simulation methods and early design decisions.
What Is CFD? A Practical Guide to Computational Fluid Dynamics
What computational fluid dynamics is, how a CFD model is built and checked, what it can and can’t tell you, and how accurate pressure-drop results are.
CFD vs. Acoustic Simulation: Which One Answers Your Question?
CFD predicts flow and pressure drop; acoustic simulation predicts how sound travels and how much a silencer removes. Which to use, and can CFD predict noise?
Acoustic Engineering vs. Aeroacoustics: What’s the Difference?
Acoustics is the science of sound; aeroacoustics is the part concerned with sound made by moving air and gas. How the two differ, and which engineer to call.
Generator Exhaust Back Pressure, Explained
What exhaust back pressure is, where it’s measured, what adds to it, how it’s calculated, and why exceeding the engine maker’s limit costs power and fuel.
Discuss your simulation or aeroacoustics challenge
Describe the product, the noise or flow behavior, and the decision you need to make. The first conversation is a technical one.
