Jets and Their Sound

Jets and their Sound provides a detailed description and discussions of jet dynamics and sound radiation, with linear theory providing the required foundation to understand, model and control key aspects of the problem. The book begins with an overview of jet behavior, also discussing updated material and recent developments, including fluid mechanics and turbulence. In addition, it covers flow control applied for jets, aeroacoustic theory, kinematic and dynamic models, and provides theoretical methods of using linear theory and data analysis. The appendix at the end of the book features an overview of mathematical models and experimental and computational methods.

This book is ideal for research engineers and managers in aerospace and mechanical engineering departments as well as those in industry who work on aeroacoustics and propulsion.
