METAMATERIAL INSPIRED SENSING IN TURBULENT ENVIRONMENTS
Abstract
Approved for Public Release. The research described in the proposal will use approaches inspired by acoustic metamaterials to advancemethods for acoustic sensing through turbulent boundary layers. We also aim to reveal the fundamental physics behind such metamaterial devices and the resonances and acoustic surface waves they generate, with a view to optimizing sensors and providing the background understanding needed to support the use of such devices in other applications, such as flow control. This work will make use of unique aeroacoustic facilities and instrumentation available at Virginia Tech including, particularly, the Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel. This effort continues an ONR-funded collaboration between researchers at Virginia Tech and the University of Exeter. This proposal lays out a 4-year program of research, and requests funding for the Virginia Tech portion of the work and for exchange travel (by both parties) between the two institutions.
