Description of the job

An internship in Impact of Aircraft Architecture on Jet Noise (m/f) has opened up at Airbus in Toulouse.
Jet noise during take-off remains a major component of aircraft community noise for commercial aircraft. Due to the close coupling between engine and wing as part of the future aircraft architectures, it is expected that interactions between the jet and the airframe generate additional noise. The control of jet installation noise requires a good understanding of the physics involved. To this end, model-scale testing and specific prediction methods and tools are under development at Airbus.
Within this context, you will focus on the noise generated by the interaction between engine jet and high-lifting wing. The top objectives will be: to understand the noise generation physics, to understand wing shape and architecture effects on noise, and to qualify noise prediction models.
This internship will start in March 2017 (date subject to some flexibility).
