Abstract:
      The work aims to predict the characteristics of the shooting noise in smoke exhaust chamber and shooting room of a closed shooting range to provide reference schemes of noise reduction in the smoke exhaust chamber and sound insulation in the firing hole. In this paper, the CFD-CAA coupling algorithm was used to calculate the shooting noise of a 9 mm pistol in a specific closed shooting range, under the premise that the simulation accuracy was guaranteed by comparing the results of noise test and numerical simulation of outdoor shooting. Firstly, the Realizable k-ɛ model and the dynamic grid technique were used to calculate the muzzle flow field in a closed shooting range. Then, the FW-H acoustic calculation model was used to calculate the acoustic data of each monitoring point. Compared with outdoor shooting, the noise pressure level of each monitoring point in the smoke exhaust chamber was enhanced when shooting in the closed shooting range. In particular, the noise pressure level at the 20° azimuth monitoring point was enhanced by 2.682 dB, which was the most obvious. In addition, the sound pressure level of each monitoring point in the shooting room increased with the increase of the azimuth angle. Compared with outdoor shooting, the peak sound pressure level of the shooting noise in the smoke exhaust chamber is higher and the reverberation time is longer, so an effective sound absorption scheme should be adopted to reduce the noise reverberation time. Moreover, the sound pressure level of the shooter's ear noise in the shooting room is close to the safety threshold, so it is necessary to improve the sound insulation scheme of the firing hole to reduce the direct sound at the shooter′s ear.
