On December 1, 2011, the FlowAirS project was launched as part of the 7th Framework Program for Research and Development. This project is a European training-through-research network which aims to train high-level researchers and develop new methods for reducing flow noise in air ducts in the transport, building and energy sectors...
The project is being carried out by European university laboratories, including the Laboratoire d'Acoustique at the Université du Maine, which is leading the project, and industrial companies such asAudi, Airbus, Bombardier, Scania, LMS... A total of 11 three-year theses and 5 one-year studies by post-docs are planned.
Research topics of particular interest to the CETIATThese include broadband fan noise generation, flow noise generated by baffled silencers and duct noise reduction techniques using new-generation absorbing materials, including metamaterials.
As a partner, the CETIAT will be able to accommodate PhD students working on the project on a temporary basis.
