The boundary element method (BEM) for the solution to acoustic radiation problems is reviewed. A computer subroutine
AC3GEN, which implements the boundary element method based on the Kussmaul integral equation formulation, is described.
The subroutine's capability as a sound power predictor is demonstrated by applying it to a simple test problem and to the
Ricardo asymmetric crankcase simulation rig. The potential of the boundary element method as a diagnostic tool in the
reduction of ngine noise is discussed.
