Not AvailableA mass stranding of 81 short-finned pilot whale (SFPW) Globicephala macrorhynchus along Manapad coast from 11th to 15th January, 2016 was reported. Along the same coast, 147 SFPW were reported to have stranded in the same month, 43 years ago. Morphometric measurements of stranded specimens were taken. Based on the necropsy and subsequent findings, the animals showed no obvious signs of health problems. The single most predominant cause to have triggered the recent mass stranding could be possibly biosonar dysfunction.Not Availabl

Community noise has become a major consideration in the design of new aircraft. The noise generated by the engines has decreased over the generations to the extent that a whole-airframe approach is required now to achieve further significant reductions. One option is to install the engines over the wings so the airframe reflects the fan noise away from on-the-ground observers. However, in addition to good noise shielding performance, the position of the engine also has to satisfy aerodynamic efficiency criteria. We investigate the sensitivity of aerodynamic and acoustic performance metrics with respect to the positioning of the engine relative to the wing. More specifically, we trade drag computed via Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes simulations versus noise shielding performance, obtained experimentally through scale model tests conducted in an anechoic chamber. Surrogate models of both metrics are constructed, enabling their Pareto analysis on the specific case of a modified DLR F6 airframe geometry
