  • Acoustic Scattering by a Finite Rigid Plate with a Poroelastic Extension 

    Ayton, Lorna Jane (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-02-24)
    The scattering of sound by a finite rigid plate with a finite poroelastic extension interacting with an unsteady acoustic source is investigated to determine the effects of porosity, elasticity, and the length of the ...

  • Aerodynamic noise from rigid trailing edges with finite porous extensions 

    Kisil, Anastasia; Ayton, Lorna Jane (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2018-02-10)
    This paper investigates the effects of finite flat porous extensions to semi-infinite impermeable flat plates in an attempt to control trailing-edge noise through bio-inspired adaptations. Specifically the problem of sound ...

  • An Analytic Solution for Gust-Aerofoil Interaction Noise Including Effects of Geometry 

    Ayton, Lorna Jane (Oxford University PressIMA Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2016)
    An analytic solution is obtained for the sound generated by gust-aerofoil interaction for aerofoils with thickness, camber, and angle of attack. The model is based on the linearisation of the Euler equations about a steady ...

  • Analytic solutions for reduced leading-edge noise aerofoils 

    Ayton, Lorna Jane; Paruchuri, C (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics2018 AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics Conference, 2018-01-01)
    This paper presents an analytic solution for the sound generated by an unsteady gust interacting with a semi-infinite flat plate with a piecewise linear periodic leading edge. The Wiener-Hopf method is used in conjunction ...

  • Analytical and experimental investigation into the effects of leading-edge radius on gust-aerofoil interaction noise 

    Ayton, Lorna Jane; Chaitanya, P (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-10-25)
    This paper investigates the effects of local leading-edge geometry on unsteady aerofoil interaction noise. Analytical results are obtained by extending previous work for parabolic leading edges to leading edges of the form ...

  • Asymptotic approximations for the sound generated by aerofoils in unsteady subsonic flows 

    Ayton, Lorna Jane (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsChurchill College, 2014-10-07)
    This thesis considers the sound generated by unsteady perturbations interacting with solid aerofoils in background steady flows, in an attempt to further develop analytic models for the noise generated by blades within ...

  • Interaction of turbulence with the leading-edge stagnation point of a thin aerofoil 

    Ayton, Lorna Jane; Peake, Nigel (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016)
    An asymptotic model is constructed to analyse the interaction of turbulence generated far upstream with a thin elliptic-nosed solid body in uniform flow. The leading-edge stagnation point causes significant deformation of ...

  • On High-Frequency Sound Generated by Gust-Aerofoil Interaction in Shear Flow 

    Ayton, Lorna Jane; Peake, Nigel (CUPJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015-02-04)
    A theoretical model is constructed to predict the far-field sound generated by high-frequency gust–aerofoil interaction in steady parallel shear flow, including the effects of aerofoil thickness. Our approach is to use ...

  • The Importance of the Unsteady Kutta Condition when Modelling Gust-Aerofoil Interaction 

    Ayton, Lorna Jane; Gill, JR; Peake, Nigel (ElsevierJournal of Sound and Vibration, 2016-06-01)
    The Kutta condition is applied to aerofoils with sharp trailing edges to allow for viscous effects to be considered within a simplified system of equations that are inviscid. This paper discusses in detail the inclusion ...
