WAVE is used extensively by manufacturers all over the world for the acoustic prediction of intake and exhaust noise. Whether developing a more cost effective exhaust system or creating a tailored exhaust sound, WAVE has unmatched capability for acoustic modelling.
WAVE allows the simulation of static and pass-by noise tests, the location of intake and exhaust resonances and, most importantly, the simultaneous prediction of both engine performance and sound pressure level.
Key Features
- Prediction of radiated intake and exhaust noise with source interaction and flow noise effects fully captured
