Equipment:
Anechoic chamber of 27 m^3 fitted for high speed jet noise measurements, microphones array, flow and sound field visualisation apparatus (Schlieren, 3D PIV), two closed low speed wind tunnels with work sections of about 1m*1m, three high speed wind tunnels with work sections of about 0.2m *0.2m, force measurements and scanivalve pressure equipment.
Software or numerical codes:
Linear and non-linear acoustic solvers (linearised Euler e.g. [1], Westervelt equation e.g. [2]), sound-structure interaction codes; linear acoustics and structural dynamics (spectral decomposition) e.g. [3] and non-linear based on Westervelt and FEM/DEM e.g. [4] and WENO5 or FLIC DNS/LES solver e.g. [5].
