An overview of numerical methods for acoustic wave propagation

This paper presents a short overview of recent developments of low-dispersive and low-dissipation finite-difference schemes as an alternative to more classical methods of applied mathematics. Needs of accurate and efficient numerical solvers in computational aeroacoustics have motivated these developements over the last two decades. Properties...

Computation of Modal Radiation through an Engine Exhaust on Adaptively Refined Meshes

This paper outlines the method of a block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) and its application to the computation of noise radiation from a realistic engine exhaust geometry with flow. The computational model described allows acoustic waves, propagating inside the bypass duct of a generic aircraft engine, to be admitted into a...
