Session
The Lattice-Boltzmann / Very Large Eddy Simulation solver (LB/VLES) SIMULIA PowerFLOW™ is extensively used to predict aeroacoustic sources from scale-resolved turbulent flows, and to design quieter air/ground vehicles and devices, such as hairdryers and ventilation systems. The present talk will focus on the emerging application of eVTOL and small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) aeroacoustics, by covering fundamental aspects related to the simulation of transitional flow for broadband noise prediction, and software technological aspects related to the complexity of the digital model, the required computational resources, and the usage of new hardware capabilities to reduce the simulation cost.
