Dr Olúwáṣeun Adétifá BSc, MSc, PhD

Research Fellow

Dr Oluwaseun Adetifa is a Research Fellow in the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Gas Turbine Noise within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton

Oluwaseun Adetifa graduated in 2008 from the University of Ibadan with first-class honours in Mechanical Engineering, and in 2010 from the University of Bath where he obtained an MSc in Automotive Engineering. Oluwaseun joined the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Gas Turbine Noise at the Institute of Sound and Vibrations Research (ISVR) in 2012 and studied for a PhD funded by a Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award. In 2016, Oluwaseun rejoined the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre as a Research Fellow working on research activities mainly focused on the prediction of aircraft engine fan and interaction tones within the ACAPELLA and iFan research projects. Currently, Oluwaseun’s research activities are within the FANTASIA project.

Oluwaseun is currently involved in research activities focused on the prediction of aircraft noise specifically on noise generated by the fan in high and ultra-high bypass-ratio aircraft engines. These research activities include:

Supersonic fan tone (buzz-saw noise) prediction: Modelling of the propagation of shock waves generated in aircraft intake in engine operation conditions where the relative fan speeds are supersonic.

Interaction tone noise prediction: Modelling the interaction of fan wakes interaction with guide vanes and stators, both analytically and using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
