Funded Activity Summary
Resolving the mechanics of wall-mounted finite airfoil noise production. Noise from air transportation and wind turbines is a rapidly growing component of environmental noise pollution that must be reduced to improve public health and well-being. A submarine must also have a low acoustic signature to ensure its stealthiness. The common source of noise generation among these technologies is the airfoil, yet we do not understand how they create noise in real, complex environments. This project aims to understand how fluid flow interacts with a wall-mounted finite airfoil to produce sound. The project aims to identify the noise producing physics via a novel wind tunnel experiment and numerical study. This enhanced understanding will create better airfoil noise prediction and control strategies in the future.Funded Activity Details
