Aeroacoustic simulation with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) generates large result datasets that need to be analyzed carefully to correlate with interior wind noise measurements. Recently, a new tool has been developed that simulates interior noise from exterior air flow by combining transient CFD for flow simulation and SEA (Statistical Energy Analysis) for vehicle structural acoustic response. Several interesting data reduction techniques have been employed to correlate dozens of separate passenger vehicle tests with the corresponding simulation results. This paper presents results of this correlation study, including statistical analysis of the resulting frequency domain comparison.

Statistical energy analysis(SEA) method has many advantages in analysis of high frequency, high modal density and complex dynamic systems. Dividing high-speed train cab into a series of sub-systems, the SEA model of high-speed train cab was established. The factors affecting the cab noise, such as modal density, damping loss factors, coupling loss factors, were gotten by theoretical analysis combined with experiments. Using large eddy simulation method, the fluctuation pressures from train head surface were calculated. Using fluctuation pressure as excitation source, wind noise spectra and power flow of sub-systems in cab were obtained, which provided the basis for the control of high-speed train cab noise.

A key assumption of conventional Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) theory is that, for two coupled subsystems, the transmitted power from one to another is proportional to the energy differences between the mode pairs of the two subsystems. Previous research has shown that such an assumption remains valid if each individual subsystem is of high modal density. This thus limits the successful applications of SEA theory mostly to the regime of high frequency vibration modeling. This paper argues that, under certain coupling conditions, conventional SEA can be extended to solve the mid-frequency vibration problems where systems may consist of both mode-dense and mode-spare subsystems, e.g. ribbed-plates.
