Aeroacoustics Sylbs

This document provides an overview of the AE 774 Aeroacoustics course at IITB Aerospace Engineering. The goals are to understand flow-generated sound as part of aerodynamic design and learn to compute sound fields from flow fields. The syllabus covers acoustic theory, sound propagation, sources of sound, and applications. Students will complete homework assignments, quizzes, exams, and a literature study project. Prerequisites include fluid dynamics.

Aeroacoustics

Prof. Aniruddha Sinha

AE 774, Spring 2014, IITB Aerospace Engineering

Goals
Through this course you will gain an appreciation of aeroacoustics, i.e. flow-generated sound, as
a component in holistic aerodynamic design. No prior familiarity with classical acoustics is
assumed. By the end of the course, given a well-resolved flow field, you will be able to
efficiently compute its sound field. Also, you will be in a position to delve into the current
literature on aeroacoustics. The material will be theoretical in nature, with assignments involving
some coding.

Syllabus
Conservation equations, wave equation. Acoustic energy, intensity, Fourier analysis, power
spectrum. One-dimensional and three-dimensional sound propagation. Sources of sound:
elementary sources, monopole, dipole and multipole sources. Generalized functions, Green’s
function for wave equation. Acoustics of rigid solid boundaries: reciprocity theorem, Kirchhoff’s
formula. Sound generation by flow: Lighthill’s acoustic analogy, its successors. Ffowcs Williams
and Hawking’s theory. Particular examples of aeroacoustics applications. Topics in classical
acoustics: sound waves at a discontinuity, ray theory, resonators, acoustic nonlinearities.
