Engineering Mechanics and courses for the students of aeroacoustics, vibro-acoustics, engineering acoustics and

mechanical engineering in general.

Aeroacoustics- an important and ever-needed module by graduate

universities equips its students with requisite skills and knowledge.
Brief review of fluid mechanics: conservation laws, thermodynamics,
vortex dynamics are compulsory. The Propagation of linear waves in
moving media is represented with linearized Euler equations, acoustics,
vortical and entropy waves, the convected wave equation, basic
properties of sound waves in moving media, sound refraction by non-
uniform flows.
Acoustic impedance with flow has the definition and properties of
acoustic impedance, Helmholtz resonator, Ingard and Myers conditions
for impedance with flow.
The Methods for solving the wave equations: Green’s functions, Green’s
formula, far field approximations, compact sources, and interferences. -
Noise radiation by simple sources: types of sources, effect of source
motion, convective amplification, the Doppler effect. - Sound radiation
by free shear flows: Lighthill’s analogy, application to noise from
turbulence. - Noise radiation from solid surfaces: general theory of
Ffowcs Williams Hawkings and application to wave extrapolation. -
Rotor noise: description of source mechanisms from aerofoils, - Duct
acoustics: sound field in ducts and wave guides, properties of duct
modes. - Turbo-machinery noise: fan rotor-alone tones, interaction
tones, buzz-saw noise. - Aeolian tones: cavity noise, flow-acoustic
feedback loops.
