Airfoil Noise Control in Complex Turbulence. This project aims to understand how to control noise created by the interaction of airfoils with complex, real-world turbulence. This project is significant because it will develop novel serrated and porous leading edges tailored for complex turbulence for the first time.

This project aims to understand how to control noise created by the interaction of airfoils with complex, real-world turbulence. This project is significant because it will develop novel serrated and porous leading edges tailored for complex turbulence for the first time. Using innovative experimental and theoretical techniques, the project will dramatically advance the science of aeroacoustics. The expected outcomes of the project will be substantial reductions in noise from aircraft, wind turbines, submarines and drones. This will provide significant benefits such as a reduction in environmental noise pollution, better public health and submarines with increased stealth.Read moreRead less
Understanding and predicting airfoil noise in real-world turbulence. This project aims to understand and predict the noise produced by turbulence interacting with an airfoil to advance the design of aeroengines, wind turbines, marine vessels, cooling fans and drones. A novel anechoic wind tunnel experiment is proposed to link complex turbulent in-flow with the behaviour of the flow as it interacts with the airfoil and the noise-producing physics. The intended outcomes of this project are new sem ....Understanding and predicting airfoil noise in real-world turbulence. This project aims to understand and predict the noise produced by turbulence interacting with an airfoil to advance the design of aeroengines, wind turbines, marine vessels, cooling fans and drones. A novel anechoic wind tunnel experiment is proposed to link complex turbulent in-flow with the behaviour of the flow as it interacts with the airfoil and the noise-producing physics. The intended outcomes of this project are new semi-analytical noise prediction models and scientific knowledge that can be harnessed for practical noise control. Anticipated benefits include quiet aerospace, naval and renewable energy technologies, reduced environmental noise pollution and better quality of life.Read moreRead less
