Personalise
Audio waveform
Wind Turbine Noise
Blade noise measurement and prediction
Airfoil Trailing
World-leaders in the measurement and control of airfoil trailing edge noise

Projects include:

  • We have active projects concerning the measurement and prediction of wind turbine blade noise. 
  • We can translate the wind tunnel results to full-scale. 
  • Ee are able to design and assess noise control technology.

Projects include:

  • Airfoil Trailing Edge Noise Measurement and Control
  • The development of novel poro-elastic and serrated trailing edges.
Drone Propeller Noise
Prediction capabilities for drone propellers
Airfoil Noise
Wall-Mounted

Projects include:

  • Acoustic loads about wall-injection into supesonic flow.
  • Entropy/vorticity spot interaction with shock waves.
  • The generation of entrophy noise in hypersonic nozzles.
  • Shock-boundary-layer interaction with flexible wall panels.

We have a range of projects including:

  • investigating noise from airfoil-wall junctions and blade tip noise. 
  • The effect of three-dimensionality is included in our research.
Marine Propeller Noise
Projects that aim to understand marine propeller noise
General Aeroacoustics
Current fundamental aeroacoustic projects:

We develop Large-Eddy-Simulations (LES) of turbulent propeller flows, including:

  • Wake breakdown. We are developing novel unsteady force and noise prediction methods, including reduces order models. 
  • The effects of finite ducts are also included via a fundamental approach using transfer functions, validated by experiment.

Projects include:

  • The aeroacoustics of cyliners near a parallel wall.
  • Low-Mach number sub-boundary steps.
  • The aeroacoustics of wall-mounted finite cyliners.
