New Materials for Applications in Aeroacoustics

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 […]

Aviation noise standards are seriously by the most recent WHO recommendations

Communication and engagement offer potential means to mitigating noise-related annoyance, reveals the latest ANIMA result

March 18, 2019

One and a half years into its lifespan, Horizon 2020 project ANIMA completes an assessment into the complex relationship between aviation noise and health, together with a set of recommendations. During a meeting held between 11 and 13 March 2019 hosted by the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ, Slovenia) partners of the project from all over Europe discussed the reviews conducted and the proposed recommendations. The review on noise annoyance impacts carried out by the ANIMA project highlights the importance of addressing reported annoyance and sleep disturbance as critical outcomes, confirming WHO findings. In October 2018, the World Health Organisation published the WHO Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region, featuring significant recommendations and deeming noise as a health risk rather than a health nuisance. ANIMA researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University in collaboration with the Centre for Applied Psychology, Social and Environmental Research (ZEUS) in Germany, the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) of Slovenia and the Romanian Research Institute for Gas Turbines (COMOTI), reviewed and updated the studies at the core of these guidelines. As its main outcome, the ANIMA review supports the idea that there may be associations between aircraft noise exposure and ischaemic heart disease, annoyance, […]

The Catania airport is not part of the ANIMA consortium but recently committed in the project

ANIMA project and Catania Airport work together on noise reduction strategies and land use planning best practices

February 26, 2019

At the end of February 2019, ANIMA project held a highly interdisciplinary technical workshop at Catania Airport. The focus was on noise reduction strategies, land use planning best practices and interdependencies between noise and emissions. The local organizer, Societa’ Aeroporto Catania, represented by Prof. Daniela Baglieri and Eng. Daniela Caico, enabled a thorough discussion between local scientists (University Kore of Enna), consultants (Softech Web) and authorities (Catania City Council). The discussion was facilitated by Transport Systems Catapult representative, Dr. Fabio Galatioto, and other ANIMA partners (Dr. Delia Dimitriu – Manchester Metropolitan University; Nico van Oosten and Luis Meliveo -ANOTEC; Ab Hoolhorst and Martijn Blom – Netherlands Aerospace Centre). The main outputs of this technical workshop are: a Memorandum of Understanding between Catania Airport and ANIMA project (through Manchester Metropolitan University) for collaboration and data provision to support aviation noise modelling and interdependencies provision of data for scenario modelling insights for the balanced approach best practices.
