Seeting up Permeable Surfaces for use with FW-H Acoustics in CCM+

Reynolds · February 24, 2011, 06:37

Hi all,

I have found the CCM+ tutorial on using the FW-H analogy for aeroacoustics incomplete. It gives directions for setting up the impermeable surface (wall boundaries) but does not do so for the permeable surface - a very important feature when using FW-H!

I was hoping someone else might be able to point me in the right direction. When I try and set up a permeable surface I cannot select any parts to use as the surface - how do I go about this please?

I would also be grateful for any warnings of pitfalls I may encounter whilst conducting my analysis.

Thanks,
Matt

You must create those surfaces inside the model as internal interaces and use them as permeable surfaces in the FW-H model.

Thankyou for your reply Vinicius.

I have managed to do this now, however I am unsure what to set the boundary type to?

For example I have created a landing gear geometry. I have then created a sphere around this and set it up as an internal interface. The boundary still exists as a viscous wall though.

I want the boundary to not affect the fluid dynamics at all. Even setting it as a freestream condition would alter my results as flow features would not be able to propagate properly.

How do I counter this?

Thanks again for your help.
Matt

Ahh, I think I may have been confused.

As the boundary does not have a part selected for it, then I do not think it exists and so is not a problem. I have selected the sphere for the internal interface though.

Is this correct?

That´s correct. Once you create the interface between the boundaries they don´t have anymore their properties, but the interface ones...

So, for your permeable surface, select the internal interface you´ve created.

Hi Reynolds

How were you able to calculate the overall sound pressure levels ? can you explain as I am modelling the jet noise and is facing similar problems.

Can you please tell me where do you find the tutorial CCM+ on using the FW-H analogy for aeroacoustics? Thank you.

Hi Vincius, could you please explain this operation more specific？This is a question from 2024 and STARCCM still got no tutor about creating permeable interface.
