The Aeroacoustics Group at the National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA) was formed in 1999 to open a new avenue of research at the center. Since its inception, the group has strived to study fundamental problems of flow-generated pressure fluctuations (both acoustic and hydrodynamic) and transition them to applied problems predominantly in the aerospace field. Over the years these problems have included vibrations in bodies traveling at supersonic speeds, jet noise associated with supersonic and subsonic exit conditions, and flow over open cavities to name a few. As part of these efforts, the group has added substantial unique infrastructure to the NCPA expanded the capabilities of the research done in house. The presentation will highlight key features of the problems, which have been studied by the group along with the key personnel.
