Innovative Permeable Materials for Broadband Trailing-Edge Noise Mitigation

Permeable trailing edges are experimentally investigated in this thesis as a mean tomitigate aeroacoustic noise. The first part of the study is devoted to deciphering themechanisms of noise generation involved in these devices. To this aim, trailing-edge inserts are manufactured employing commercially-produced open-cell metallic foams with different material properties, i.e., permeability and pore size.
