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 Results have so far shown that the use of rough and permeable surface will lead to significant changes to the structure of the boundary layer. This also involves the generation of a hydrodynamic field within the porous medium which will be investigated further in the next phase of the project.
A new test rig is design and will be tested.
Exploitation Route The data will be released by the team so it can be used by the community.
The research outcome is expected to lead to new collaborations and wider use of porous materials for flow/noise control
