Aeroacoustics and active noise control
15 September 1997 - 15 September 1997
Belgium
A lecture series on "Aeronautics and active noise control" will be held in Rhode St Genese, Belgium, from 15 to 18 September 1997. The lectures are being organized with support from the Community's Training and Mobility of Researchers (TMR) programme.
Aeroacoustics is, together with turbulence, one of the most challenging domains of theoretical and applied fluid dynamics. Furthermore noise is now considered more than a simple nuisance. Its effects on fatigue, for example, are a problem affecting both the security and efficiency of personnel in aeroplanes and road vehicles, of people living in proximity to heavy road or air traffic, or working in industrial complexes. In all these situations some of the most important noise sources are aerodynamic in nature. A very accurate knowledge of the sources of aerodynamic noise, especially in turbulent and sheared flows, is, therefore, required to reach a level of comfort adequate for present-day requirements. This should be based on theoretical derivations and accurate experimental measurements.
The topics to be covered will include an introduction to aerodynamic noise sources, a description of basic and advanced relevant prediction and test procedures, and a description of the most up-to-date active techniques as applied to aerodynamic noise sources. For these reasons the course should appeal not only to experts already working in the domain, but also to young researchers likely to face these noise problems in the various domains of engineering studies.
