Flow and Noise Group
The Flow and Noise Group has a strong focus on computational and experimental aeroacoustics, and includes members from the multidisciplinary Aerospace, Acoustics and Autonomous Systems (AAA) and the Centre for Energy Technology (CET) groups at the University of Adelaide. We also have expertise in the area of hypersonic systems, flight dynamics and control.
Members of the Flow and Noise group have developed and built state-of-the-art research infrastructure, including an anechoic wind tunnel supported by novel instrumentation and numerical analysis techniques and have also been involved in the development of a newly completed $5M large scale wind tunnel facility.
The Flow and Noise Group currently have three funded ARC grants focused on aeroacoustics, "The mechanics of quiet airfoils" (Discovery), "Resolving the mechanics of turbulent noise production" (Discovery) and "Understanding and predicting submarine hydrofoil noise" (Linkage), along with a number of other projects supported by DSTO, The US Airforce, The South Australian Government and the Sir Ross and Sir Keith Smith Fund.
