Localization and quantification of noise sources are important to fulfill customer and regulation requirements in a such competitive sector like automotive manufacturing. Wind tunnel testing and acoustic mapping techniques based on microphone arrays can provide accurate information on these aspects. However, it is not straightforward to get source positions and strengths in these testing conditions. In fact, the car is a 3D object that radiates noise from different parts simultaneously, involving different noise generation mechanisms such as tire noise and aerodynamic noise. Commonly, acoustic maps are produced on a 3D surface that envelopes the objects. However, this practice produces misleading and/or incomplete results, as acoustic sources can be generated outside the surface. When the hypothesis of sources on the model surface is removed, additional issues arise. In this paper, we propose exploiting an inverse method tailored to a volumetric approach. The aim of this paper is to investigate the issues to face when the method is applied to automotive wind tunnel testing. Two different kinds of problem must be considered: On the one hand, the results of inverse methods are strongly influenced by the problem definition, while, on the other hand, experimental conditions must be taken into account to get accurate results. These aspects have been studied making use of simulated experiments. Such a controlled simulation environment, by contrast to a purely experimental case, enables accurate assessment of both the localization and quantification performance of the proposed method. Finally, a set of scores is defined to evaluate the resulting maps with objective metrics.

This paper investigates the noise emissions from NACA 6412 asymmetric airfoil with different perforated extension plates at the trailing edge. The length of the extension plate is 10 mm, and the pore diameters ( D) considered for the study are in the range of 0.689 to 1.665 mm. The experiments are carried out in the flow velocity ( U∞) range of 20 to 45 m/s, and geometric angles of attack ( αg) values of −10° to +10°. Perforated extensions have an overwhelming response in reducing the low frequency noise (<1.5 kHz), and a reduction of up to 6 dB is observed with an increase in the pore diameter. Contrastingly, the higher frequency noise (>4 kHz) is observed to increase with an increase in the pore diameter. The dominant reduction in the low frequency noise for perforated model airfoils is within the Strouhal number (based on the displacement thickness) of 0.11. The overall sound pressure levels of perforated model airfoils are observed to reduce by a maximum of 2 dB compared to the base airfoil. Finally, by varying the geometric angle of attack from −10° to +10°, the lower frequency noise is seen to increase, while the high frequency noise is observed to decrease.

With the development of new energy and intelligent vehicles, aerodynamic noise problem of pure electric vehicles at high speed has become increasingly prominent. The characteristics of the flow field and aerodynamic noise of the rearview mirror region were investigated by large eddy simulation, acoustic perturbation equations and reduction order analysis. By comparing the pressure coefficients of the coarse, medium and dense grids with wind tunnel test results, the pressure distribution, and numerical accuracy of the medium grid on the body are clarified. It is shown from the flow field proper orthogonal decomposition of the mid-section that the sum of the energy of the first three modes accounts for more than 16%. Based on spectral proper orthogonal decomposition, the peak frequencies of the first-order mode are 19 and 97 Hz. As for the turbulent pressure of side window, the first mode accounts for approximately 11.3% of the total energy, and its peak appears at 39 and 117 Hz. While the first mode of sound pressure accounts for about 41.7%, and the energy peaks occur at 410 and 546 Hz. Compared with traditional vehicle, less total turbulent pressure level and total sound pressure level are found at current electric vehicle because of the limited interaction between the rearview mirror and A-pillar.
