This project aims to address vibrations of solid structures by utilising a combination of advanced experimental and computational methods. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of flow-induced vibrations utilising the new techniques of machine learning and evolutionary shape optimisation. Expected outcomes of this project include greatly accelerated discovery of mechanisms leading to structural vibrations and optimising structure geometries to either enhance or suppress the vibrations. This should provide significant benefits, such as the design strategies for improved energy harvesters, such as current oscillators, or more stable structures, such as platforms for offshore wind turbines.

Flow-induced vibration of slender structures and its control. This project aims to expand substantially the state of knowledge on the flow-induced vibrations of bluff, slender structures such as cylinders, beams, and cables. A framework is expected to be developed that describes the flow-induced vibration of these structures systematically, adding new data and drawing links between previously disparate areas of research. The significance of such a framework is great, as not only is flow-induced ....Flow-induced vibration of slender structures and its control. This project aims to expand substantially the state of knowledge on the flow-induced vibrations of bluff, slender structures such as cylinders, beams, and cables. A framework is expected to be developed that describes the flow-induced vibration of these structures systematically, adding new data and drawing links between previously disparate areas of research. The significance of such a framework is great, as not only is flow-induced vibration a problem in many engineering applications (such as marine oil risers, chimneys, and bridges) it can also be exploited for renewable energy generation. Control mechanisms are also expected to be developed to maximise the energy generation potential.Read moreRead less
High-fidelity simulations for new models that reduce noise pollution. This project aims to develop a method for accurate and affordable prediction and mitigation of flow-induced noise. The innovative approach, based on recent developments in simulation and data-driven modelling, expects to reduce environmental noise pollution, improve public health and ease the impact of urbanisation. To date methodological limitations have hampered our ability to predict noise reliably and hence control it. Thi ....High-fidelity simulations for new models that reduce noise pollution.
