Overview
About the course
Finding the right balance between achieving maximum aerodynamic performance and lowering the noise output to comply with regulations and ensure people's comfort and health is a complicated task.
Many companies are nowadays asking for combined aeroacoustic and aerodynamic knowledge and for many engineers it can be difficult to translate complex aeroacoustic theories into practical design applications.
In this Aeroacoustics - Noise Reduction Strategies for Mechanical Systems course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) you will acquire the knowledge and tools required in this challenging field, including aerodynamic design guidelines to maintain or improve machine performance.
You will review fundamental aeroacoustic principles and propagation theories in order to estimate the sound generated by a variety of mechanical systems. You will also explore dedicated noise-reduction strategies to understand how to improve the aeroacoustics of potential design solutions.
