Abstract
A system and method for simulating activity of a fluid in a volume that represents a physical space, the activity of the fluid in the volume being simulated so as to model movement of elements within the volume. The method includes at a first time, identifying a first set of vortices in a transient and turbulent flow. The method includes at a second time that is subsequent to the first time, identifying a second set of vortices. The method includes tracking changes in the vortices by comparing the first set and the second set of discrete vortices. The method includes identifying one or more noise sources based on the tracking. The method includes determining the contribution of one or more noise sources at a receiver. The method also includes outputting data indicating one or more modifications to one or more geometric features of a device or an entity.
