RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research area is Aeroacoustics – specifically in the development and validation of models of high-frequency wall jet noise, with a view to noise reduction and attenuation. In particular I am interested in
Fundamental characterization of the effect of various flow parameters on the associated acoustic emission
Development of improved models for predicting the Turbulent Mixing Noise (TMN) emitted by Coanda wall jets
Development of improved models for predicting the Shock-Associated Noise (SAN) emitted by turbulent Coanda wall jets, and relating this to the shock cell structure within the Coanda jet
Application of existing, and development of new Coanda models to rocket launch vibroacoustics. Specifically, modelling the Coanda wall jet behavior in the J-duct flame trench which diverts the rocket exhaust plume from the launch pad.
