CAA++

by Metacomp Technologies

Computational aeroacoustics: noise generation and propagation from flow simulations.

What it is

CAA++ is Metacomp's computational aeroacoustics toolset, built on CFD++. It combines high-fidelity solvers for noise sources, such as hybrid RANS/LES and NLAS (Non-Linear Acoustics Solver), with far-field propagation tools.

Key capabilities

  • 2nd-generation hybrid RANS/LES

    Hybrid models with automatic eddy seeding and sub-grid-scale models that keep RANS behavior near walls.

  • NLAS

    The Non-Linear Acoustics Solver resolves acoustic fluctuations on meshes coarser than LES requires and captures weak-shear instabilities.

  • Sub-domain mode

    Focuses the unsteady computation on the region of interest, with self-tuning absorbing layers, reducing memory and CPU time.

  • ImEx time stepping

    Automatic choice between implicit and explicit time integration depending on the mesh region.

  • Far-field propagation

    Far-field and Waveprop tools for fast analytic propagation in the time and frequency domains, with directivity calculation.

  • Acoustic post-processing

    Acoustic surface creation and reinterpolation, volume and surface source integration, wavepath integration and surface data maps.
