Research projects
The group brings together recognised experts in the fields of numerical modelling, applied fluid mechanics, aeroacoustics and aeroelasticity. All academic staff are research active with a track record of securing major funding and working with key industry partners.
-
AERIALIST
2.4M Euro H2020 research project aiming to contribute to the identification of breakthrough technologies to achieve civil aircraft noise reduction targets.
-
ENODISE
An EU-funded project aimed at improving the integration of novel aircraft’s propulsion systems with the airframe.
-
INVENTOR
The primary goal of INVENTOR is to better understand the physics of noise generated by LGs and HLDs
-
JINA
Our approach in JINA is to reduce the low-frequency noise amplification by the manipulation of the jet hydrodynamic field via nozzle shape optimization.
-
Bio-inspired flight
Aerodynamic sensing and control aspects of animal flight and how we can use bio-inspiration to improve engineered technologies.
-
Effect of Separation and Stall on Aerofoil Noise
In collaboration with the University of Southampton, Embraer and GE Dowty, this project focuses on the investigation of aerofoil separation and stall noise.
-
SilentProp
SilentProp will directly contribute to the Clean Sky vision of drastically reducing aircraft induced community noise.
-
U-HARWARD
The U-HARWARD project (Ultra High Aspect Ratio Wing Advanced Research and Designs) will use innovative aerodynamic and aeroelastic designs in a multi-fidelity, multi-disciplinary, optimal design approach to facilitate the development of Ultra-High aspect ratio wings for large transport aircraft.
-
ARTEM
ARTEM aims to develop low-noise aircraft concepts through combining innovative noise reduction technologies.
