I have been trying to use the acoustic module in order to determine the generated noise froom turbulence etc through a design of mine. I have come across many probs. (in particullar with the source file),

Although from what I have read in the documentation that I caqnnot use the Acoustics modulle for my purposes, I have been told that it may be possible.

If anyboddy has any experience or have completed a similar problem please help, it would be much appreciated.

Hai Nev, I am a Research scholar from IIT Madras.I am also working in the same area viz. acoustic and flow analysis of mufflers.I was using Fluent 6.0. for my work. I got stuck at the same place, whether or not I can use acoustics module in Fluent. Let me know when u get some information! thanx in advance. sharath.

Hi Sharath,

I have not solvd it yet, and am not optimistic. The fluent documentation says that it can be only used for external flows - and the only example of its use I have found on thhe web site is for the noise generated around a side view mirror of a car.

I have also contacted the australian fluent distributors, the first person I talked to said I could not do the calculation, while te second person sent me a 'to do' list which is along the same lines of thee fluent help.

I ll keep you posted on it.

Hi Neville, Thanx for ur information.Even I was told the same,Fluent's acoustic module is only for the external flows. Do send me the info and keep me updated.I will try to find some way so that the muffler analysis is done. I will send u the relevant information soon. sharath.
