We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hello Jack, 

negative Sound Pressure Level indicates that the pressure fluctuations being simulated are lower than the reference pressure used to calculate SPL, so your results would suggest that you may not be resolving those pressure fluctuations. 

Are you using the same mesh and time step size for both cases?
