Research

Aeroacoustics refers to the scientific study of noise generation created directly by turbulent fluid motion and by aerodynamic forces interacting with surfaces.

The Aeroacoustics Faculty are appointed to the School of Engineering and conduct research at the Jamie Whitten National Center for Physical Acoustics. Current research interests include:
