During the past three decades, there has been a growing concern over the in- crease in noise pollution that comes as a direct result of the increased volume of automobile traffic, high-speed trains, and larger aircraft. Additional sources of noise are commonly found in air handling equipment (such as fans and pro- pellers) and a variety of machinery used in construction and manufacturing. A vast majority of these noise sources are the result of a given system's aero- acoustic response, or sound generated by the interaction of a flow field with the given structure. While barriers are commonly used to shield communities from highway and train noise, and absorption materials are used to shield machinery noise, there is no way to shield communities near major airports from the noise gen- erated by low-flying aircraft. Tens of millions of people worldwide are affected by this airport noise problem. In densely populated Europe, up to 15 % of the total population is strongly influenced by airport noise. Since the volume of air traffic will continue to grow, so too will the problem and the number of people involved. It is not surprising that many countries and communities have taken legal action to preserve the quality of life in these areas. As a result, the airlines, airports, manufacturers and governments are working together to set new standards for aircraft noise reduction. In order to establish realistic goals, the generation and propagation of acoustic sources must be better understood.

Transport Phenomena in Porous Media III
Fluid and flow problems in porous media have attracted the attention of industrialists, engineers and scientists from varying disciplines, such as chemical, environmental, and mechanical engineering, geothermal physics and food science. There has been a increasing interest in heat and fluid flows through porous media, making this book a timely and appropriate resource. <p/>Each chapter is systematically detailed to be easily grasped by a research worker with basic knowledge of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and computational and experimental methods. At the same time, the readers will be informed of the most recent research literature in the field, giving it dual usage as both a post-grad text book and professional reference. <p/>Written by the recent directors of the NATO Advanced Study Institute session on 'Emerging Technologies and Techniques in Porous Media' (June 2003), this book is a timely and essential reference for scientists and engineers within a variety of fields.<br>Department of Applied Mathematics, Ingham Centre for Computational Fluid Dynamics, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK<br>Ioan Pop is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Babes-Bolyai University, Romania. He has more than 50 years' experience of research in fields including fluid mechanics and heat transfer with application to boundary layer theory, heat transfer in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, magnetohydrodynamics, and convective flow in fluid-saturated porous media. In his career he has co-supervised more than 20 phd students, written 10 books, and co-authored over 850 research journal papers. He is the Director of the Centre for Excellence in Mechanics of the Romanian National Research Council, and serves on the editorial boards of 14 international scholarly journals, and has served on the organizing committee of over 27 conferences.<br>
