Aeroacoustics of Low Mach Number Flows: Fundamentals, Analysis, and Measurement

by Stewart Glegg, William Devenport

Overview

Aeroacoustics of Low Mach Number Flows: Fundamentals, Analysis, and Measurement provides a comprehensive treatment of sound radiation from subsonic flow over moving surfaces, which is the most widespread cause of flow noise in engineering systems. This includes fan noise, rotor noise, wind turbine noise, boundary layer noise, and aircraft noise.

Beginning with fluid dynamics, the fundamental equations of aeroacoustics are derived and the key methods of solution are explained, focusing both on the necessary mathematics and physics. Fundamentals of turbulence and turbulent flows, experimental methods and numerous applications are also covered.

The book is an ideal source of information on aeroacoustics for researchers and graduate students in engineering, physics, or applied math, as well as for engineers working in this field.

Supplementary material for this book is provided by the authors on the website www.aeroacoustics.net. The website provides educational content designed to help students and researchers in understanding some of the principles and applications of aeroacoustics, and includes example problems, data, sample codes, course plans and errata. The website is continuously being reviewed and added to.

About the Author

Stewart Glegg was a professor at Florida Atlantic University until he retired in May 2023 and is now an Affiliate faculty member of CREATe at Virginia Tech. He was an Associate Editor for the AIAA Journal (1994-97) and has served on the editorial board of the Journal of Sound and Vibration and the Journal of Aeroacoustics. In May 2004 he was awarded the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics Aeroacoustics Award for "Outstanding contributions to the understanding and reduction of fan noise in turbo machinery". He has published over 200 technical papers in leading scientific and engineering journals.

William Devenport is Crofton Professor of Engineering at the Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Tech and leads a research program centred on experimental studies of aerodynamics and aeroacoustics. He is Director of the Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel and Director of the Center for Research and Engineering in Aero/hydrodynamic Technology (CREATe). He has published over 200 technical articles and in May 2019 received the AIAA Aeroacoustics Award for “Seminal and pioneering contributions in aeroacoustics particularly in developing new experimental techniques and in the understanding of turbulence and surface roughness noise”.
