معرفی
Dr Jack LT Lawrence is a Senior Research Fellow in Experimental Aeroacoustics within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton. He coordinates major EU and UK-funded research projects focused on aircraft noise reduction, including HARMONY (wHole AiRcraft Multidisciplinary nOise desigN sYstem) and JERONIMO (JEt noise of high bypass RatiO eNgines). His work involves designing advanced wind tunnel facilities at the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre's anechoic Doak Laboratory.
Lawrence's research centers on experimental aeroacoustics with specialization in jet noise mechanisms, particularly installed jet-wing interactions for ultra-high bypass ratio engines (BPR > 12). His work combines wind tunnel testing, hot-wire anemometry, and computational modeling to develop noise prediction tools and mitigation strategies for next-generation aircraft. Key methodologies include turbulence flowfield analysis, wall-pressure fluctuation measurements, and 3D-printed nozzle testing.
His recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on jet-surface interaction noise, with trends showing increasing sophistication in modeling realistic wing configurations and nozzle geometries. Research spans both fundamental fluid dynamics and applied aerospace engineering, emphasizing experimental validation of computational models.
Lawrence supervises PhD researcher Edoardo Carbini and collaborates extensively with Rolls-Royce, QinetiQ, and European aerospace partners. His projects include Deep Cavity Noise Mitigation Testing and H2020-SENECA, funded by the European Union. Current work involves commissioning new wind tunnel facilities for coaxial jet noise research.
He is a member of the Acoustics Group and Institute for Life Sciences, conducting research in the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre's anechoic Doak Laboratory. His experimental work utilizes advanced facilities for jet noise characterization and validation of numerical simulations.
