Traffic is a major source of environmental noise in modern society. Subsequently, the development of new vehicles is subjected to heavy governmental legislations. The major noise source on common road vehicles during acceleration is the flow noise caused by turbulent exhaust gas. The main goal of this work is to develop an appropriate Aeroacoustic simulation method to investigate the acoustic of sound on exhaust automotive muffler. The range of validity of the method is studied comparing results to experimental data. The Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) results are compared with an experimental test in a vehicle during its acceleration and the mean flow model of the muffler has a satisfactory mesh with a suitable inlet boundary provided by an engine dynamometer data. The present work describes a good agreement between computational and experimental approach for the Aeroacoustics behavior of a specific configuration of exhaust muffler.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
