Spoiler Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics

飞机空气动力学和空气声学噪声领域招收博士研究生。该奖学金提供了一个独特的机会，可以在南安普顿大学工程与物理科学学院的空客噪声技术中心（ANTC）研究相关的工程问题。该奖学金由欧盟H2020项目“INVENTOR”全额资助，该项目名为“用于降低飞机噪音的安装机身部件的创新设计”。该项目涉及来自7个不同国家的16个合作伙伴。INVENTOR的主要目标是更好地理解机翼和起落架上扰流板产生的噪音的物理学原理，这两个装置都是在着陆前部署的。这项研究将通过风洞实验和数值模拟相结合的方式进行。实验将在南安普顿大学的风洞设备上进行。数值模拟将涉及传统的CFD求解器和最先进的晶格玻尔兹曼代码。该项目适合具有较强的分析能力以及风洞实验和CFD经验的学生。该项目的结果将是对噪声源的潜在空气动力学机制有更基本的了解，学生将被期望提出创造性的设计解决方案来减少噪声源。这个博士学位将提供一个很好的机会，与世界上最大的航空航天公司之一密切合作，探索航空航天工业的相关问题。

A PhD studentship is now available in the area of aircraft aerodynamics and aeroacoustics noise. The studentship provides a unique opportunity to work on a relevant engineering problem at the Airbus Noise Technology Centre (ANTC), part of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton. The studentship is fully funded via an EU H2020 project entitled INVENTOR "INnoVative dEsign of iNstalled airframe componenTs for aircraft nOise Reduction." The project involves 16 partners from 7 different countries.The primary goal of INVENTOR is to better understand the physics of noise generated by spoilers on the wing and landing gears, both deployed of approach to landing. The research will be through a combination of wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations. The experiments will be performed using the wind tunnel facilities at the University of Southampton. The numerical simulations will involve traditional CFD solvers and also state-of-the-art Lattice Bolztmann codes. The project will suit a student with strong analytical skills as well as some experience in wind tunnel experiments and CFD. The outcome of the project will be a more fundamental understanding of the underlying aerodynamic mechanisms responsible for the noise sources and the student will be expected to propose creative design solutions for their reduction. This PhD studentship will provide a good opportunity to work closely with one of the largest aerospace companies in the world, and explore relevant problems in the aerospace industry.
