About the projects

DJINN, ENODISE and INVENTOR are funded by the European Union in the framework of the H2020 MG-1-5-2019 call ”Advancements in aerodynamics and innovative propulsion systems for quieter and greener aircrafts” and are strongly interconnected.

DJINN (Decrease Jet Installation Noise), coordinated by CFD Berlin, has been developing a new generation of reliable computational fluid dynamics methods to assess promising noise-reduction technologies for future integrated propulsion aircraft. According to DJINN, understanding, modelling and predicting jet-airframe noise is key to developing efficient noise-reduction technologies.

ENODISE (Innovative Design of Installed Aircraft Components for aircraft noise reduction), coordinated by VKI, is aimed at reducing aircraft noise and gaseous-polluting emissions through novel aircraft architectures. These feature a much tighter integration of the propulsion system with the airframe than in conventional aircraft. Complex aerodynamic and acoustic engine-airframe interactions result, which must be better understood to achieve the envisaged benefits. ENODISE investigates the key aeroacoustic installation effects at low TRL level, and provides a solid background of knowledge and methods, based on simplified but typical configurations, allowing several integration solutions to be evaluated.
