Florida Fluids Symposium series aims to bring together researchers from universities throughout Florida, working in all areas of fluid dynamics, for a one-day exchange of ideas in an informal and collaborative atmosphere. The talks are invited from graduate students and postdocs as well as undergraduates who have been pursuing research to enhance students' exposure. All universities in Florida are welcome to participate. If the research involves a certain aspect of flow mechanics, then the research belongs to this Symposium. Experimental, computational and/or analytical contributions are all welcome.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

On behalf of the Department of Aerospace Engineering and The College of Engineering, 

Welcome to FFS -III, we are honored to host you!

Information for Presenters and Attendees

• Contributed papers are limited to 10 minutes with 2 additional minutes for discussion. This is followed by 1 minute for transition to the next paper and introduction of the next speaker.  

• There will be a computer with a projector in every room that hosts a session. You can bring your talk in a flash drive and use the room computer. There will be options (HDMI) to plug in your own laptop. However, the system in these rooms have known issues in working with a Mac. So if you have a Mac please make sure you have a back up of your talk on a flash drive.

• Please park in any open surface lot. Over the summer, parking in all the surface lots are free. The map below identifies the closest lots. Please note, parking in the garage is not free. However, users are welcome to use the garage by paying the daily rate.

• The entire symposium will take place in the Mori Hosseini Student Union Rooms 165 (A, B, D, E & F). Please refer to the schedule below. 

• A light breakfast will be provided from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM during the plenary session. Please see details below for information on the keynote presentation.

• Lunch will be served from noon to 1:00 PM.

• All sessions will conclude at 4:30 PM.

• Rooms 165 A&B will be available through the day for networking.

• Daytona Beach hosts the annual Welcome to Rockville, music festival the weekend of May 10, 2024. If this is of interest to you Limp Bizkit and The Offspring go on stage right after FFS-III. The entire Friday lineup is here. This is your chance to rock the Florida Fluids Symposium in more ways than one!!!

Abstract. New electric airplanes being developed are part of a new mode of transportation called Urban Air Mobility (UAM). Noise is an important barrier for community acceptance of UAM vehicles.  We will review the basic mechanisms for UAM noise generation, i.e. impulsive (due to the rotor’s rotation and aerodynamic interactions) and broadband noise (interactions due to turbulence).  Compared to conventional helicopters, the lower tip Mach numbers associated with UAM vehicles change the relative importance of these sources. In addition, UAM vehicles are equipped with multi-rotors, which add aerodynamic interactions that complicate the physics.  Nevertheless, multi-rotors offer different possibilities to lower the noise, e.g., phasing and rotation direction. Furthermore, there is a large variety of UAM vehicle configurations, which suggests further problems as well as offers new possibilities. Finally, we will discuss the effect of the effect of the urban environment which is the focus of our current NASA ULI project. 

Bio:

Professor Lyrintzis has been a Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University since January 2012.  Previously, he was a Professor and Associate Head of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University.  His primary research interests are in the area of aerodynamics with emphasis on numerical methods and applications in aeroacoustics.  His research endeavors have been supported by many federal agencies and industries [total funding ~12.5 million]. He has co-authored 67 journal papers and 137 conference papers and is listed in the top 2% of scientists for career scholarly impact.  He has advised or co-advised 22 Ph.D. and 20 M.S. students.  He has been a former Chair of the AIAA Aeroacoustics Technical Committee and ADCA (Aerospace Department Chair Association). He has been an Associate Editor for the AIAA Journal and the International Journal of Aeroacoustics.  Finally, Professor Lyrintzis has participated in the development of award-winning (American Helicopter Society, Howard Hughes Award, NASA Group Achievement Award) TRAC (TiltRotor Aeroacoustic Codes) system of codes from NASA Langley, and is a recipient of the AIAA Sustained Service Award. Professor Lyrintzis is an AIAA Fellow, ASME Fellow, RAeS Fellow and Boeing Welliver Fellow.
