Decrease Jet-Installation Noise (DJINN)

The motivation of DJINN is to work on jet-wing interaction noise for representative engine, pylon and wing configurations at relevant flight conditions. The ambition of the QMUL team is to work with the leading UK and EU universities and aerospace companies in order to maintain industrial and economical leadership in the highly competitive global aviation market. https://djinn.online/

Disinfecting indoor air against diseases as COVID and TB in cities in the Indian subcontinent

The aim of this project is to develop an air filtration system for the Indian subcontinent with heavy pollution settings, while having air infection risk. Strategies of deployment and usage will be developed along with training of UK and Indian students, and knowledge transfer with industry with overall UK & India budget of £80k.

CAD-based wing optimisation for the XRF1 - CASE studentship Airbus

The analysis of aircraft wings is highly multi-disciplinary including e.g. aerodynamic loads as well as structural weight. The large number of parameters that are needed to describe an optimal design requires gradient-based optimisation methods. The unique feature of the project is the first use of a gradient-enabled CAD system in aircraft design which was developed in a preceding project.

FlexNanoFlow

2D nanomaterials hold immense technological promise thanks to extraordinary intrinsic properties such as ultra-high conductivity, strength and unusual semiconducting properties. Our understanding of how these extremely thin and flexible objects are processed in flow is however inadequate, and this is hindering progress towards true market applications. When processed in liquid ...

Wind and water turbines: Simulation of unsteady aerodynamic forces and theoretical modelling

High fidelity flow-structural dynamics simulations of wind and water turbines will be pursued using advanced computing clusters and complemented by wind tunnel tests. The results will be analysed and used to derive new fast models that will support future development of new renewable energy devices extracting kinetic energy from the wind and water flows.

JINA: Jet Installation Noise Abatement

One of the major aeroacoustical challenges of modern aircraft is the so-called "jet installation effect" due to the interaction of the jet hydrodynamic field with the airframe. The JINA project aims to address this challenge by bringing together expertise in experimental and computational aeroacoustics as well as design optimisation.

Novel capsule based smell test for the assessment of hyposmia/anosmia

This project is to develop a cheap, scalable and rapid smell test for the assessment of hyposmia/anosmia including COVID19 related symptom in humans. The prototype test consists of a standardized number of aromatic oils capsules fabricated by coaxial dripping and placed between adhesive strips that users crush and pull apart to release the smell.

Adjoint design optimisation of nozzle-rotor turbine geometries with mixing planes

Dr. Mueller's research group has developed a CFD solver with an adjoint variant which enables the computation of sensitivity of objective functions such as turbine efficiency at the lowest possible computational cost. These senstivities are essential in shape optimisation with many design parameters. In this project the capability of the adjoint solver is enhanced by an adjoint mixing plane model for the stator-rotor interface. The developed optimisation workflow will be in production at the industrial partner MHI.
