A CFD Approach for the Assessment of Fuel Tank Sloshing Noise

Presentation by Matthäus Jäger, CFD Simulation Engineer at Magna Steyr Fuel Tec.

Fuel tank sloshing noise is becoming increasingly noticable as engines, especially hybrid vehicles in electric mode, become quiter. The general requirement is to avoid all possible noise audiable for passengers. The main problem for tank manufacturers is the unknown transfer path from tank to passegers. See how Magna Steyr Fuel Tec has tackled these challenges with simulation.
