About the project

The projects offered span from fast, empirical tools for aero-engine noise prediction, based on high-fidelity CFD or experiments, to full-aircraft and fleet-level noise modelling. These projects will be conducted within the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Propulsion Systems Noise.

These PhD projects will be hosted within the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Propulsion Systems Noise at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), University of BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载. The UTC is a world-leading hub for aeroacoustics research, offering close collaboration with the Rolls-Royce noise engineering team. This provides a unique opportunity to contribute to real-world challenges and make a tangible impact on the future of quieter, more sustainable aviation.

Projects span a wide range of topics, from fast, empirical engineering tools for aero-engine noise prediction to high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD), experimental investigations, and full-aircraft and fleet-level noise modelling. The primary focus will be on commercial aircraft with conventional turbofan and novel propulsion types.

You will benefit from a dynamic, interdisciplinary research environment at ISVR, with access to state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant postgraduate community. The University of BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 is internationally recognised for its excellence in acoustics and aerospace research. You will have opportunities to attend international conferences, workshops, and training events, and to engage with a global network of researchers and industry experts.
