In the research project SAFT it is proposed to establish a computational platform which allows for the simulation of noise exposure on ground from air traffic, taking into account the complete chain: type of aircraft/engine, trajectory, aircraft-/Engine condition, noise generation and sound propagation in the given weather condition. Through future studies with the SAFT-tool it is anticipated that adequate means for noise mitigation could be identified. This could be through studies on existing aircraft/air traffic and procedures as well as on future engine/airframe technology or forecasted partly replaced aircraft fleet and their movements. The SAFT tool is primarily intended to form a complement to today's so called "integrated methods", but will go far beyond those methods when it comes to functionality. Central differences between a "physics based" simulation tool like SAFT and an integrated tool is that the latter do not allow for a separation between the individual sound sources on an aircraft, it is neither able to separate the source at one hand, and the sound propagation on the other, and it do not include any frequency information. While integrated tools primarily focus on long term noise patterns, typically total yearly air traffic, simulation tools like the planned SAFT are far better suited for single-event studies of new procedures (e.g. as studied within the project BRANTARE), new engines etc. |
