No minimum orderDescription
Hydro and Aeroacoustics of Low Mach Number Flows provides a detailed introduction to sound radiation from subsonic flow over moving surfaces. This phenomenon is the most widespread cause of flow noise in engineering systems, including fan noise, rotor noise, wind turbine noise, boundary layer noise, airframe noise, and aircraft noise. This fully updated and restructured second edition includes additional problems, illustrations, and summary material to support readers, as well as new content addressing Rapid Distortion theory (RDT), boundary layer wall pressure fluctuations, and flow induced sound at surfaces. Themes addressing non-compressible flows have been added, so it now offers full coverage of hydroacoustic as well as aeroacoustic applications. There is also new support materials for this edition including course outlines, problem sets, sample Matlab codes, and experimental data to be found at www.aeroacoustics.net.
