Flow-Induced Noise Source Contribution

A system for flow-induced noise source identification,

• a data processing system for noise source identification that processes data representing a fluid low in volume representing a physical space, the data processing system comprising:
• one or more processing devices and one or more hardware storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processing devices, to cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
• simulating activity of a fluid in a volume that represents a physical space, the activity of the fluid in the volume being simulated so as to model movement of elements within the volume;
• at a first time in the fluid flow simulation, identifying a first set of vortices in a transient and turbulent flow modeled by the fluid flow;
• at a second time in the fluid flow simulation that is subsequent to the first time, identifying a second set of vortices in the transient and turbulent flow;
• tracking changes in the vortices by comparing the first set of discrete vortices and the second set of discrete vortices;
• identifying one or more noise sources based on the tracking;
• determining the contribution of one or more noise sources at a receiver;
• and
• outputting data indicating one or more modifications to one or more geometric features of a device or an entity, based on the contribution of the one or more noise sources at the receiver.
