The latest propeller designs for advanced air mobility are being developed to deliver the thrust needed to transition from hover to forward flight, and also meet demanding noise reduction targets for use in the urban environment.  Our expert team works with leading platform developers on the next generation of propellers, using the latest in Computational Aero-Acoustics (CAA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology.

We work across sectors with our CFD and supercomputing products, including aerospace, automotive, civil, and renewables engineering, which is particularly relevant for acoustics and noise reduction with its common requirements driven by national environmental and operational regulations.

Exterior Aero-Acoustic Noise

From wind mirrors to landing gear, we help companies quantify and reduce unwanted noise from cars and aircraft.  We use a combination of stochastic and high-order (DG) overset methods, tailored to meet the needs of each application.

HVAC

Noise from interior (buildings and vehicles) air conditioning systems often results from ducting geometry and resonance within cavities and structural components.  We help identify sources of noise and mitigation strategies with product developers, using a combination of high fidelity and rapid analysis techniques.

Recently we were involved in a next-generation aero-acoustics project, LandOne, where computational aero-acoustics (CAA) meets the latest high-order CFD from Zenotech and  modern cloud high-performance computing, including graphical processing units (GPUs). Discover more here.
