The more accurate simulation enables engineers to understand how design changes such as shortening the nacelle affect noise emissions so they can optimise the placement of acoustic treatments.

Key Points: 
  • The more accurate simulation enables engineers to understand how design changes such as shortening the nacelle affect noise emissions so they can optimise the placement of acoustic treatments.
  • Recently developed and validated against measurements together with Safran Helicopters Engines , the model enables manufacturers to predict the combustion noise emitted in engines.
  • The forthcoming ISO 360-1 standard reflects growing pressure to reduce automotive pass-by noise, with tyre noise expected to contribute 60% by 2024.
  • "Actran 2020 integrates cutting edge acoustic research and technologies to address today's transport noise challenges," said Yves Detandt, Technical Director at FFT.
