Zamponi, R. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Schram, C. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author)This paper elucidates the link between the near-wake development of a circular cylinder coated with a porous material in a low Mach-number flow and the related aerodynamic sound attenuation. It accomplishes this by formulating the cylinder flow-induced noise as a diffraction problem. The necessity for such an approach is driven by...journal article 2024

Hoebus, Laura (author)In cold regions, the formation and accumulation of ice can cause safety hazards and impede proper operation of equipment. By example, ice accumulation on aircraft wings can increase drag, increase weight, reduce upward force and decrease aircraft speed. <br/><br/>For these reasons, proper anti- or de-icing techniques need to be developed. These...master thesis 2023
