Aeroacoustics of Low Mach Number Flows: Fundamentals, Analysis and Measurement, Second Edition 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 new edition includes additional problems, illustrations and summary materials to support readers. New content covers Rapid Distortion theory (RDT), boundary layer wall pressure fluctuations, and flow induced sound at surfaces. Themes addressing non-compressible flows have also been added, offering coverage of hydroacoustic as well as aeroacoustic applications.
New support materials for this edition include course outlines, problem sets, sample MATLAB codes and experimental data to be found at www.aeroacoustics.net.
