M.Sc. Research Studentship

Fluids, Vibrations and Acoustics Group

Applications are invited for a Research Studentship to work in the Fluids, Vibration & Acoustics Group at Trinity College, Dublin, within the context of an EU Framework 7 Collaborative Project. Research work would lead to a M.Sc. degree of Trinity College, University of Dublin in the Faculty of Engineering, Mathematics and Science.

The Fluids, Vibration and Acoustics group in Trinity College, Dublin, have developed coherence-based noise source identification techniques which identify the contribution of core noise to near- and far-field acoustic measurements of aero-engines. The objective of the work within this studentship is to further develop these techniques with novel Beamforming algorithms and to apply them to experimental and full scale engine data generated within an EU Framework 7 project. Of particular interest is the implementation of these techniques to broad-band noise identification and the study of non-linear interaction mechanisms. The scope of the work will entail designing and conducting in-house experiments, performing simulations with theoretically generated data and developing novel signal processing techniques. There will be opportunities to spend time in the test locations of some of our EU partners within the programme.

The research group has extensive experience in the measurement and modelling of flow-structure interactions including flow induced vibration & noise, aeroacoustics, structural/acoustic interactions, unsteady combustion and heat transfer. Experimental facilities include general purpose and custom built wind tunnels. Instrumentation includes laser and hot wire anemometry for fluid flow measurement, a laser velocimeter with accelerometers and displacement transducers for vibration and condenser microphones and microphone arrays for noise/acoustic work. Signal processing techniques developed by the Group for the analysis and identification of non-linear systems have been used for validating complex models for fluid/structure interactions & aeroacoustics and for modeling unsteady combustion processes.

Applicants should have a good honours degree or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline with some background in acoustics and signal processing being an advantage. The scholarship willbe for 1.5/2years and will include remuneration of 16k euro per annum and academic fees.
