Topology optimization of muffler internal partitions for improving acoustical attenuation performance

The internal partition configuration of an expansion chamber muffler affects significantly its acoustical transmission characteristics, but the use of systematic optimization methods to muffler design problems is rare. The main objective of this research is to maximize the transmission loss at target frequencies by optimizing partition layouts inside a muffler chamber by formulating an acoustical topology optimization problem. The selected target frequencies include the deep frequencies of a nominal muffler in order to see the critical effects of partition configurations on the acoustical transmission characteristics. The effects of partition volume constraint ratios are also investigated and physics behind the optimized layouts is investigated. Numerical results show that mufflers with optimized partition layouts outperform nominal mufflers considerably, but the shapes and locations of the optimized partitions should be much different from those of conventional partitions.

Numerical studies on constrained venting system with reactive mufflers by GA optimization

While the space volume of mufflers in a venting system gets constrained, shape optimization to maximize the muffler's performance becomes important and essential. This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) for the optimal shape design of mufflers. The four‐pole matrix method which was adopted in evaluating the acoustic performance of sound transmission loss (STL) is used in conjunction with the GA techniques. Case studies of the full band noise inside a venting system are exemplified by the reactive mufflers. Before the GA operation, several examples are tested and compared with the experimental data for accuracy check of the mathematical models. Consequently, GA can provide a quick and effective way for a muffler design work. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Topology optimization of fluid problems using genetic algorithm assisted by the Kriging model

A non‐gradient‐based approach for topology optimization using a genetic algorithm is proposed in this paper. The genetic algorithm used in this paper is assisted by the Kriging surrogate model to reduce computational cost required for function evaluation. To validate the non‐gradient‐based topology optimization method in flow problems, this research focuses on two single‐objective optimization problems, where the objective functions are to minimize pressure loss and to maximize heat transfer of flow channels, and one multi‐objective optimization problem, which combines earlier two single‐objective optimization problems. The shape of flow channels is represented by the level set function. The pressure loss and the heat transfer performance of the channels are evaluated by the Building‐Cube Method code, which is a Cartesian‐mesh CFD solver. The proposed method resulted in an agreement with previous study in the single‐objective problems in its topology and achieved global exploration of non‐dominated solutions in the multi‐objective problems. © 2016 The Authors International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd

Shape optimization of one‐chamber perforated plug/non‐plug mufflers by simulated annealing method

To economically and efficiently lower the venting noise, the development of a high‐quality muffler with compact volume has become crucial in the modern industrial field. The research work of shape optimization of straight silencers in conjunction with plug/non‐plug perforated ducts which may noticeably increase the acoustical performance is rarely addressed; therefore, the main purpose of this paper is not only to analyze the sound transmission loss (STL) of a one‐chamber plug/non‐plug perforated muffler but also to optimize the best design shape under a limited space. In this paper, on the basis of plane wave theory, the four‐pole system matrix in evaluating the acoustic performance is derived by using the decoupled numerical method. Moreover, a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm searching for the global optimum by imitating the softening process of metal has been adopted during the muffler's optimization. To assure SA's correctness, the STL's maximization of one‐chamber perforated plug mufflers at a targeted frequency of 500 Hz is exemplified first. Furthermore, a numerical case in dealing with a broadband noise emitted from a fan by using one‐chamber plug/non‐plug mufflers has been introduced and fully discussed. To achieve a better optimization in SA, various SA parameter sets of cooling rate and iteration parameter values were used. Before the SA operation can be carried out, the accuracy check of the mathematical models with respect to plug/non‐plug perforated mufflers has to be supported by experimental data. The optimal result in eliminating broadband noise reveals that the muffler with a plug acoustical mechanism has a better noise reduction than that of a non‐plug muffler. Consequently, the approach used for the optimal design of the noise elimination proposed in this study is certainly easy, economical, and quite effective.
