Our Current Projects
Wind Turbine Noise |
|
We have active projects concerning the measurement and prediction of wind turbine blade noise. We can translate the wind tunnel results to full-scale. we are able to design and assess noise control technology. |

Airfoil Trailing Edge Noise Measurement and Control |
|
We are world-leaders in the measurement and control of airfoil trailing edge noise. Current projects include the development of novel poro-elastic and serrated trailing edges. |

|
Wall-Mounted Airfoil Noise |
|
We have a range of projects investigating noise from airfoil-wall junctions and blade tip noise. The effect of three-dimensionality is included in our research. |

|
Drone Propeller Noise |
|
We have developed new noise measurement and prediction capabilities for drone propellers. We are able to develop low-noise designs and measure their performance in our anechoic wind tunnel. Our fast-solve acoustic solver is useful for design studies. |

|
Marine Propeller Noise |
|
We are workin in a number of projects that aim to understand marine propeller noise. We develop Large-Eddy-Simulations (LES) of turbulent propeller flows, including wake breakdown. We are developing novel unsteady force and noise prediction methds, including reduces order models. The effects of finite ducts are also included via a fundamental approach using transfer functions, validated by experiment. |
