Synopsis

This is an introduction to the branch of fluid mechanics concerned with the production of sound by hydrodynamic flows. It is designed for a one semester introductory course at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level. Great care is taken to explain underlying fluid mechanical and acoustic concepts, and to describe fully the steps in a complicated derivation. The discussion deals specifically with low Mach number flows, which enables the sound produced by `vortex-surface' interactions to be analyzed using the `compact Green's function'. This provides a routine procedure for estimating the sound, and an easy identification of those parts of a structure that are likely to be important sources of sound.

About this title

Book Description

The book is an introduction to theory of sound generation by fluid flow, specially written for a one semester course at advanced undergraduate or graduate level.It starts with a review of elementary theoretical acoustics and proceeds to a unified treatment of low Mach number `vortex-surface' interaction noise in terms of the compact Green's function. Problems are provided at the end of each chapter, many of which can be used for extended student projects. A whole chapter is devoted to worked examples.
