Multidisciplinary advanced computations: Fluid dynamics, Aeroacoustics, Structural dynamics, part 3

Research Project, 2024 – 2025

The purpose is to study internal weapon bays (IWB) in transonic flow and how its flexible structure interacts with acoustic phenomena as well as how the structural vibrations of the cavity entail internal aircraft noise. The goal is to create an analysis process that ties together external flow with internal noise and to formulate "best practice" for this type of analysis. Furthermore, the goal for the project’s industrial PhD is to finalize scientific publications and to defend his thesis.

The project is expected to result in an improved ability to use calculations to predict external and internal noise associated to IWB´s in transonic flow, aeroelastic structural deformations and a deeper understanding of the interaction between acoustics and structural vibrations. The expected results will have an effect on the development of future military aircraft, civil aircraft platforms and derivatives thereof where multidisciplinary computations are of great importance.
