Theory of Vortex Sound by M.S. Howe (English) Paperback Book

Description: Theory of Vortex Sound by M.S. Howe 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.

Great care is taken to explain underlying fluid mechanical and acoustic concepts, and to describe as fully as possible the steps in a complicated derivation.

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. Each chapter ends with a set of problems, many of which can form the basis of an extended student project. The final chapter contains worked examples that have been investigated by students at Boston University. Author Biography M. S. Howe has been Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at Boston University since 1992. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Acoustics (UK) and of the Acoustical Society of America. He was appointed American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Rayleigh Lecturer for 1997 for his pioneering contributions to the science and applications of acoustics. He received the ASME 2000 Per Bruel Gold Medal for Noise Control and Acoustics for important work on the interactions of fluid flow and structures, leading to an increased understanding of acoustic radiation gener Table of Contents Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Lighthills theory; 3. The compact Greens function; 4. Vorticity; 5. Vortex sound; 6. Vortex-surface interaction noise in two-dimensions; 7. Problems in three-dimensions; 8. Further worked examples; Bibliography. Review The worked out examples in this book are of considerable practical importance to those working in the field of hydrodynamically generated sound. Thus, one can use the solutions directly without necessarily understanding all of the details of the derivation to solve practical problems of engineering interest. ... The book meets the objectives set down by the author completely. I recommend it without reservation to those working in the complex field of flow-induced noise.
