Abstract

In this talk I will be giving a brief overview of my research project with Dr Ayton. The goal of the project is to use wavenumber-frequency spectra to reduce trailing edge noise, so we give an outline of the two important components of the type of model we will be investigating. First, there will be a quick introduction into the wavenumber frequency spectrum and its use in calculating important quantities in acoustics. Then, we give a useful analytic form for the scattered pressure solution from a gust interacting with a semi-infinite plate of zero thickness. I have spent more time investigating the latter, and will give some preliminary results for the gust problem with Neumann boundary conditions.
