Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | We have developed a new high-fidelity computational model and used it to extract the physical understanding for why the bio-inspired aerofoil surface treatment leads to noise reduction |
| Exploitation Route | Further work will be to extend the bio-inspired aerofoil treatments to aerospace and wind energy applications, for example, to reduce the wind turbine noise |
| Sectors | Aerospace Defence and Marine Energy |
| Title | GPU-accelerated high-fidelity CFD solver for aeroacoustics modelling |
| Description | We have provided a fast GPU-accelerated Navier-Stokes solver which is made available for UK researchers. The method is highly efficient for aeroacoustic simulations of problems such as jet and airframe flow and noise modelling. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2024 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | We have made our research solver available to UK university including the users from the University of Southampton, Brunel University and the University of Manchester |
| Description | Collaboration with University of Trento |
| Organisation | University of Trento |
| Country | Italy |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | Collaboration with University of Trento has started one bio-inspired aerofoil structures following the completion of the EPSRC project |
| Collaborator Contribution | The University of Trento first invited me for a seminar presentation and then seconded a PhD student to work in my group in London for 3 months. |
| Impact | Joint AIAA conference paper to be reported in Summer 2025 |
| Start Year | 2025 |
