A Combined CFD-FEM Approach to Predict Fluid-Borne Vibrations and Noise Radiation of a Rotary Vane Pump
April 14, 2023
The rising demand for lower noise emissions of car ancillary units due to electrification and higher customer expectations regarding driving comfort results in the need for more silent car components. Hydraulic driven car components in particular are often identified as a major source of noise in the system. Therefore, it is mandatory to investigate the noise sources inside the hydraulic system. In this work, a combined CFD-FEM approach is applied to estimate the flow-induced noise radiation of a mechanically driven transmission pump. To achieve this goal, the mapping procedure to hand over the pressure field from the CFD to the FEM mesh must be valid. For this purpose, the error during the mapping process is evaluated and different parameters, which influence the mapping results, are analyzed. Additionally, the impact of the time step size and the length of the time signal on the frequency resolution of the force signal is investigated to get an appropriate excitation force for the vibroacoustic simulation. Subsequently, a force analysis and a structural FEM simulation are performed to identify which flow phenomenon contributes most to the excitation of the pump housing. Specific locations in the pump with high loads are pointed out. In a final step, the results of the vibroacoustic model are compared to acceleration and sound pressure level measurements of the pump performed in a hemi-anechoic room.
