Estimation of aerodynamic noise of diaphragms through IEC 60534-8-3 and CFD

The aerodynamic noise emitted by a subsonic flow of dry air through an orifice plate is estimated in terms of internal sound power level and external sound pressure level (SPL) by application of the methodology described in the international standard IEC 60534-8-3. A shortcoming of the standard in d...
