Simulation of the Flow-Induced Noise in the Wake of a Car Side Mirror: |
|||
| This example considers the flow over a full automobile geometry with an attached side mirror. An initial set of statistics for the acoustics solver were established on a standard RANS mesh and the NLAS solver was then run on a reduced mesh with far-field absorbing layers. The first figure on the right shows the streamwise vorticity in the mirror wake, computed using the disturbance equations. The lower figure on the right shows a comparison of sound pressure levels (in decibels), compared with experimental measurements at a point in the mirror wake. Favorable agreement is obtained for both broadband and tonal components.
