Isolated Propeller Aeroacoustics at Negative Thrust: An Experimental Study

In recent years, there has been renewed interest in propeller research due to environmental concerns. Propellers are known for their low-speed efficiency and compatibility with electric motors. The utilization of regenerative energy during deceleration has been demonstrated to be beneficial for automobiles and has the potential to be applied to...

Pneumatically-actuated acoustic metamaterials based on helmholtz resonators

Metamaterials are periodic structures which offer physical properties not found in nature. Particularly, acoustic metamaterials can manipulate sound and elastic waves both spatially and spectrally in unpreceded ways. Acoustic metamaterials can generate arbitrary acoustic bandgaps by scattering sound waves, which is a superior property for...

Development of scaling methods for broadband turbulent noise in internal flow devices by means of experiments and CFD

Broadband turbulent noise can lead to fluid-acoustic and fluid-structure interaction and ultimately to mechanical failure of pipe systems. In HVAC (Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning) systems broadband turbulent noise can radiate outwards where it is a nuisance or even harmful to people. A fast and simple approach for investigating...
