Analyzing Aircraft Engine Noise Through Simulation
By modeling flow duct systems in aircraft engines, it is possible to optimize the shape of certain engine duct parts and the lining properties in order to reduce the sound emission.
The Tuning Fork Application
Do re mi fa so la ti do! Did you know that the most common standard pitch for a tuning fork is 440 Hz, which forms the note A? See a tuning fork simulation app in action here >>
Acoustic Levitation Puts a Pure Spin on Medicine Fabrication
Engineers from Argonne National Laboratory used multiphysics simulation and trial-and-error prototyping to optimize the effectiveness of an acoustic levitator for medical fabrication.
Studying Sonar Systems on a Component Level
Did you know that “sonar” stands for sound navigation and ranging? Using simulation, you can study the individual components of a sonar system, including its electroacoustic transducer.
Seas of Change for Wind Turbines
One benefit of placing wind turbines offshore? They can’t be heard! Even better? High winds occur with more regularity offshore, making energy production more effective!
Natural Frequencies of Immersed Beams
A guest blogger from Veryst Engineering demonstrates the modeling of a cantilever beam immersed in a fluid to study its natural frequencies. Read it here >>
