Visualising flow and propeller noise
Join researchers from the Acoustics Group team at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research to demonstrate several sources of noise relevant to aeroplanes and drones, among other applications. We show how the design of the wings can impact flow noise and how the interaction of propellers with nearby objects can cause increased noise levels. Furthermore, we use an acoustic camera to visualise the location of the noise sources.
