My research directly addresses the challenge of achieving a sustainable and healthy planet which is a key research goal in Trinity's strategic plan. My primary research area is aeroacoustics within the domain of aeronautics. My core research objective is to produce greener aircraft with lower emissions and lower environmental noise pollution. I am internationally recognised as the leading researcher in Ireland in Aeroacoustics as demonstrated by my leadership roles in the field internationally: 1. I am the only Irish representative on the Aeroacoustics Specialists Committee of the Council of European Aerospace Societies (CEAS-ASC), the EU technical committee which brings academic and industry interests together to shape the direction of aeroacoustics research in Europe. 2. I co-chaired the AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics annual conference twice in 2020 (Nevada) and 2023 (San Diego) flagship international conference for the CEAS and its American counterpart the AIAA. My technical co-chairs were leading American research scientists, e.g. Doug Nark from NASA. 3. I am on the editorial board for the key journal in my field: International Journal of Aeroacoustics 4. Over the last 15 years I have been PI on six large scale EU Framework funded collaborative projects with academic and industry partners: TEENI (FP7), WENEMOR (FP7), ALLEGRA (FP7), ARTIC (FP7), X-Noise EV (FP7) and INVENTOR (H2020). I was full project coordinator for three of these (WENEMOR, ALLEGRA, ARTIC), managing a total budget of €5.4M and 15 partners from universities, research institutes and industry. 5. I was the national focal point for aeroacoustics in the EU funded Coordination and Support action X-Noise EV. 6. I have led research collaborations and published with over 25 international research labs, universities, and industries, including Harvard, Stanford, Bell Labs, Notre Dame, three institutions in China, Sherbrooke, KTH, Le Mans (LAUM), BME Hungary, Roma Tre, TU Delft, Airbus, Leonardo as well as the national aerospace institutes of France (ONERA), Germany (DLR), Italy (CIRA), the Netherlands (NLR) and the USA (NASA). Over 60% of my 117 peer reviewed publications are co-authored with international collaborators and 20% are co-authored with international industry partners. My research spans the full breadth from fundamental discovery to applied research and has direct impact on reducing the negative effects of environmental aircraft noise on human populations. My collaborative research with industry in particular has achieved maximum test readiness levels (TRL) in EU funding. In these projects I led the co-development of low noise technologies for engine, landing gear and wings which have been validated and implemented by industry partners (including NASA, Airbus, Dassault, Safran, Rolls Royce, Leonardo) resulting in the reduction of environmental aircraft noise. To fund my research I have brought a total of €3 million to TCD in grants from for example the EU Commission, Enterprise Ireland, the Irish Research Council, the Naughton Foundation, the Fulbright Commission, industry and alumni. My publication record is extensive (h-index 23) with 55 journal articles, 66 peer-reviewed conference papers, 2 book chapters, one special issue in the key journal in the field (International Journal of Aeroacoustics) and a co-edited book of proceedings.

  TEENI
  Summary

  (P.I.: Dr. Gareth J. Bennett, TCD Budget €400,000) Turboshaft Exhaust Engine Noise Identification: broadband noise source identification in helicopter engines. The TEENI project is an FP7 level 1 (Theme 7 - Transport) 1st Call EU- funded project. It focuses on Helicopter Engine Exhaust Broadband Noise, and tries to identify the origin of this noise from external measurements only.Unlike Turbojet engines, Turboshaft engine gases are ejected at low speeds, leading to almost no jet noise. Although the turbines generate high amplitude tonal nose, their high RPM and blade count result in the frequencies being above the audible threshold. However, a previous European project: Friendcopter has demonstrated through flight tests the significance of medium-frequency exhaust engine noise for the Take-Off flight certification condition. The origin and generation mechanisms of this exhaust broadband noise "Corenoise", have not yet been fully defined: low frequency content is generally related to combustion phenomena in the literature, but the sources above 1kHz are not understood. Understanding the origin (location and physical mechanisms) of this broadband noise range is the main objective of the TEENI project, with the final industrial goal being to better attenuate this exhaust noise. http://www.xnoise.eu/index.php?id=384. http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/89869_en.html

  WENEMOR
  Summary

  (Project Coordinator and P.I.: Dr. Gareth J. Bennett, total budget €2,000,000). Wind Tunnel Tests for the Evaluation of the Installation Effects of Noise Emissions of an Open Rotor Advanced Regional Aircraft. WENEMOR has been developed in response to the requirements described in the Clean Sky-ITD-GRA call for proposals referenced under SP1-JTI-CLEAN SKY-2010-4 and named "Aero-acoustic noise emissions measure for advanced Regional Open Rotor A/C configuration". WENEMOR will address the topic by conducting aeroacoustic measurements in an open test section of a large low speed wind tunnel, on a complete reduced scale modular model of different configurations of an aircraft with installed open rotor systems, operating in both "pusher" and "tractor" modes. The aim of these tests will be the creation of an aeroacoustic database that will have two main applications: to characterize the emitted noise and evaluate the installation effects of these different configurations and to allow the validation of GRA ITD aeroacoustic simulation codes.

  Silencer
  Summary

  Significantly Lower Community Exposure to Aircraft Noise. The largest ever European aircraft noise research project, known as SILENCE(R), was launched On April 1st 2001. A consortium of 54 companies collaborated for six years to validate new technologies for reducing aircraft noise by up to 6 decibels as of 2008. The European Commission's Fifth Framework Programme for RTD is funding 50% of the project whose total budget exceeds 110 M Euro. Unsteady pressure measurements in the combustion can of an aeroengine can be used to identify the contribution of combusiton noise to near and farfield noise. TCD's contribution to Silencer was multifold. In the first instance, an internal and external transducer network to instrument full scale gas turbine engines was specified. The data acquired from these aero-engines during full scale static tests were processed with novel signal processing algorithms developed at TCD. The analysis allowed core noise source identification and a technique to determine liner efficiency to be developed. (Technical and Administrative Manager for TCD: Dr. Gareth J.

  ALLEGRA
  Summary

  (Project Coordinator and P.I.: Dr. Gareth J. Bennett, total budget €2,000,000) Advanced Low Noise Landing (Main and Nose) Gear for Regional Aircraft. During landing approach, when engines are operating at low thrust, the noise of the airframe contributes strongly to the overall noise signature of modern aircraft. Airframe noise is generated by airflow around components of the aircraft. The main sources of airframe noise are therefore the high drag elements such as landing gears and also the high lift devices on the wings. For larger aircraft, it is the landing gear noise that dominates. This project will therefore focus on the design and test of Main and Nose Landing Gear noise reduction concepts. ALLEGRA has put together a consortium which comprises of a well known aeroacoustic wind tunnel company and some SME's from around Europe with specific competence on landing gear design, manufacturing and structural analysis. In addition two of the EU's most distinguished universities will take the lead in computational aeroacoustics, noise measurements and data analysis. All partners have participated and delivered in EU projects, in some cases extensively including coordination. The outputs of ALLEGRA will result in pragmatic, validated solutions which will reduce noise, emissions and improve fuel consumption. These solutions will be developed in conjunction with an EU aircraft manufacturer to ensure feasibility and to reduce time to implementation.

  Application Of Universal Design Principles To The Design Of Domestic Appliances
  Summary

  Universal Design has the goal of creating an environment which is accessible/usable by to as many people as possible. Evaluation of the usability by older people of a range of home appliances (heaters, iron, toaster etc) showed that significant biomechanical difficulties were experienced with operating certain push buttons and dials. A review of the literature and mechanical testing of the required force and torque for these controls showed improvements could be made by relatively minor design modifications. Evaluation of these modifications in a second series of patient tests confirmed the major potential for improvement in existing products. With Dr. Ciaran Simms.

The objective of the activity under this CfP is the test of a full-scale Main Landing Gear fuselage-mounted architecture sized for a high-wing regional aircraft configuration in a Wind Tunnel facility. This proposal considers a complete architecture including all necessary features from an aeroacoustic point of view including: gear struts, wheel pack, bay cavity and doors, fairings and portion of fuselage. A low noise technology shall be investigated following a selection process to be completed within GRA activities. The concept of an acoustic mirror shall be developed resulting in a design which will enable accurate far field sound measurements via a sectioned model with an acoustic reflector on the half plane. The consortium will design and manufacture a modular full-scale mock-up of the MLG integrating low-noise devices as indicated from the GRA ITD Member. The model shall be modular in order to test both the baseline and the low-noise MLG architecture with one or both gear legs. Advanced aero-acoustic measures including partial coherence techniques, orthogonal beam forming and deconvolution beam forming will be utilized to fully assess the noise emission of the landing gear. These techniques will quantify the source distribution, mechanisms of noise reduction and provide an innovative tool for use in aeroacoustic problems of this nature. ARTIC has put together a consortium which comprises of one of Europe's most distinguished Universities, a Research Institute in aeronautics of international renown and an SME with specific competence in aerospace design, manufacturing and structural analysis. All partners have participated and delivered in EU projects, in some cases extensively including coordination. In addition, subcontracting will be given to the only aeroacoustic wind tunnel company in Europe capable to perform these tests. Partners: TCD (Coordinator), NLR (The Netherlands), INASCO (Greece), DNW-LLF (German Dutch Windtunnel, Subcontractor) http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/191331_en.html
