Various Acoustics Research Themes

The following post-graduate research projects are available:

  • Air flow, noise and temperature variations in vineyards using frost fans – an experimental and modelling project being run in conjunction with a Blenheim based business.
  • Sound transmission through walls – an experimental project being run in conjunction with and industrial partner.
  • Acoustics of home theatres – an experimental and modeling project being run in conjunction with a local acoustic business.
  • Industrial noise control – an experimental Masters project involving product development in conjunction with a local successful manufacturing business; this project provides wide exposure to sound absorption, sound transmission and active noise control.
  • Building acoustics - sound transmission through panel systems.
  • Aeroacoustics - investigation of aerofoil trailing edge noise.

Funding arrangements Funding available for suitable students.
