BOSpulse 5.2 comes with the addition of a new Acoustic Modal analysis type that yields the natural acoustic frequencies and modes of a piping model. These modes play an important role in acoustic resonance phenomena as they can be excited by periodic flow and pressure boundary conditions with a frequency that is close to one of the natural acoustic frequencies. Conversely, if a compressor or pump systems fail to comply with the applicable allowable (API) limits, then
you can use an acoustic modal analysis to identify the problematic acoustic modes and implement effective mitigating measures.
In order to perform an acoustic modal analysis, BOSpulse incorporates a new modal solver that applies the same frequency-domain equations of motion and continuity as its harmonic solver.
An important benefit of this approach is that the effects of friction are properly accounted for. Another benefit is that the modal solver can handle arbitrarily complex piping systems.
The new Acoustic Modal analysis type is a powerful new feature that makes BOSpulse an even more capable tool for the analysis of compressor and pump systems.
