Combustion Noise
The study of combustion noise is strongly related to the analysis of the propagation of acoustic and entropy waves through non-uniform one and two-dimensional flows and through turbine stages. Turbulent flames generate both acoustic and entropy waves in the combustion chamber. These waves propagate and are responsible of two type of noise mechanisms: direct noise, generated by the acoustic waves, and indirect noise, produced by the entropy waves while accelerated through the turbine stages.
The research fields in which I work are related in some way to combustion noise. I'm interested in two major fields: aeroacoustics, and mainly in the propagation of acoustic and entropy waves through non-uniform compressible steady flows, the generation of indirect noise, etc. and unsteady combustion, the interaction of flames with turbulence and with acoustics and the mechanisms responsible for the generation of combustion noise.
