Reinforcing coordination between national, international and European research activities

October 8, 2019

The ANIMA project includes a dedicated working group which focuses on enhancing coherence and efficiency of aviation noise research in Europe. The project supports the coordination of national, European and international research efforts. On the occasion of the Aviation Noise Research Network Meeting, experts had the opportunity to showcase aviation noise research initiatives. The ANIMA project is further developing the network of national focal points in this sense, facilitating cooperation and exchange of best practices. National focal points from Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Switzerland and Serbia offered insights on what they are doing in their countries: Umberto Iemma, from the Roma Tre University, explained that the university set up through internal resources a number of projects on topics, such as the multidisciplinary modelling of next generation aeroengines, including technological and operational uncertainties. Lars Enghardt, from the German Aerospace Centre, presented a selection of the numerous projects funded by the Federal Research Programme Aeronautics LuFo, such as AGATA. Hervé Lissek, from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, introduced several national project held either by his own entity, by the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule of Zürich (ETH Zürich) or by the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science (EMPA), especially on liners […]

Latest ANIMA achievements

October 8, 2019

The ANIMA project has reached the halfway point, with numerous results materialising. The project partners have finished assessing noise management practices by carrying out: A survey of regulations implementation and guidance across European Airports An in-depth study on the concept of annoyance and critical analysis of past interventions to lower it A critical review of noise metrics and of their usage for communication and engagement A critical review of the health impact of aviation noise beyond the WHO report A review of the policies and practices in other noise-affected sectors and their potential application to aviation. Additionally, ANIMA has also been carrying out research on annoyance and quality of life. The following has been performed: A review of indicators used to define quality of life A review of methods to engage with communities in order to test the impact of a communication campaign A review of methodologies for noise-induced awakening and derivation of indicators for night noise protection zones development of AnimaApp, which is a mobile application to capture people’s reactions and responses to aviation noise; The results are available on the ANIMA website along with user-friendly summaries. Coming Up Other important work discussed and carried out refers to the […]

June 13, 2019

23rd Workshop of the Aeroacoustics Specialists Committee of the CEAS 26-27 September 2019, Roma Tre University, Department of Engineering, Rome, Italy The 23rd CEAS-ASC workshop is focused on innovative active and passive materials for the reduction of noise in aeroacoustic applications. Aspects related to theoretical and numerical modelling, advanced design and manufacturing techniques, and dedicated experimental approaches are of relevance to the workshop objectives. The primary goal of the workshop is to encourage the discussion and the cooperation of the research community on this key topic, aiming at the identification of breakthrough concepts to achieve the substantial noise reduction required to guarantee the sustainable development of the aeronautical transportation system.

May 27, 2019

The ANIMA project was part of Aeroacoustics 2019 held in Delft, the Netherlands, between 20 and 23 May. The ARC (Airport Regions Conference) team, showcased ten Horizon 2020 aviation noise research projects supported by INEA (the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency) aimed at improving quality of life of EU citizens. The ANIMA stand at the Aeroacoustics 2019 exhibition looked at key aspects from these ten European projects: JERONIMO (Jet Noise of High Bypass Ratio Engine: Installation, Advanced Modelling and Mitigation) ENOVAL (ENgine mOdule VALidators) AFLONEXT (Active Flow Loads & Noise control on next-generation wing) TurboNoiseBB ARTEM (Aircraft noise Reduction Technologies and related Environmental iMpact) Aerialist (AdvancEd aircRaft noIse AlLeviation deviceS using meTamaterials) ICARe (International Cooperation in Aviation Research) IMAGE (Innovation Methodologies and technologies for reducing Aircraft noise Generation and Emission) RUMBLE (RegUlation and norm for low sonic Boom LEvels) ANIMA (Aviation Noise Impact Management through Novel Approaches) Read here about the 10 projects in detail. About Aeroacoustics Aeroacoustics 2019 (AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics Conference) is an international forum for the field of aeroacoustics, which gathers scientists and engineers from industry, government and academia to exchange knowledge and results of current studies and to discuss directions for future research. This year, the conference […]
