Aeroacoustics is a branch of acoustics that studies noise generation via either turbulent fluid motion or aerodynamic forces interacting with surfaces. Noise generation can also be associated with periodically varying flows. Although no complete scientific theory of the generation of noise by aerodynamic flows has been established, most practical aeroacoustic analysis relies upon the so called Acoustic analogy Acoustic Analogy , whereby the governing equations of motion of the fluid are coerced into a form reminiscent of the wave equation of classical i.e. linear acoustics. The most common approach of accomplishing this is through Lighthill s aeroacoustic analogy ref name Willians84 J. E. Ffowcs Williams, The Acoustic Analogy&mdash Thirty Years On, IMA J. Appl. Math. 32 1984 pp. 113 124. ref . It was proposed by James Lighthill in the 1950s ref name Lighthill52 M. J. Lighthill, On Sound Generated Aerodynamically. I. General Theory, Proc. R. Soc. Lond.

Acoustic analogies are applied mostly in Computational Aeroacoustics numerical aeroacoustics to reduce aeroacoustic sound sources to simple emitter types. They are therefore often also referred to as aeroacoustic analogies . In general, aeroacoustic analogy analogies are derived from the compressible Navier Stokes equations NSE . The compressibility compressible NSE are rearranged into various forms of the inhomogeneous acoustics inhomogeneous acoustic wave equation . Within these equations, source terms describe the acoustic sources. They consist of pressure and speed fluctuation as well as Stress physics stress tensor and force terms. Approximations are introduced to make the source terms independent of the acoustic Variable mathematics variables . In this way, linearized equations are derive which describe the propagation of the acoustic waves in a homogeneous acoustics homogeneous , resting medium. The latter is excited by the acoustic source terms, which are determined from the turbulent fluctuations. Since the aeroacoustics are described by the equations of classical acoustics, the methods are called aeroacoustic analogies. The Michael James Lighthill Lighthill Analogy considers a free flow, as for example with an engine jet. The nonstationary fluctuations of the stream are represented by a distribution of quadrupole sources in the same volume. The Curle Analogy is a formal solution of the Lighthill Analogy, which takes hard surfaces into consideration. The John Ffowcs Williams Ffowcs Williams Hawkings Analogy is valid for aeroacoustic sources in relative motion with respect to a hard surface, as is the case in many technical applications for example in the automotive industry or in air travel. The calculation involves quadrupole , dipole and monopole terms. Literature Blumrich, R. Berechnungsmethoden f r die Aeroakustik von Fahrzeugen .

Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date January 2009 Introduction Jet noise is a large section of the field of Aeroacoustics that focuses on the noise generation caused by high velocity jets and the turbulent Eddy fluid dynamics eddies generated by shearing flow. Such noise is known as broadband noise and extends well beyond the range of human hearing 100kHz and higher . Jet noise is also responsible for the loudest sounds ever produced by mankind Saturn V rocket launch . Fact date January 2009 Sources of Jet Noise The primary sources of Jet Noise for a high speed air jet meaning when the exhaust velocity exceeds about 100 m s are jet mixing noise and, for Supersonic speed supersonic flow , shock associated noise. Also, Acoustic acoustic sources within the jet pipe also contribute to the noise, mainly at lower speeds, which include combustion noise and sounds produced by interactions of a turbulent stream with fans, compressors, and turbine systems. ref Howe, 151 ref The Jet mixing sound is created by the turbulent mixing of a jet with the ambient fluid, in most cases, air. The mixing initially occurs in an annular shear layer, which grows with the length of the nozzle. The mixing region generally fills the entire jet at four or give diameters from the nozzle. The high frequency components of the sound are manly stationed close to the nozzle, where the dimensions of the turbulence eddies are small. Further down the jet, where the eddy size is similar to the jet diameter, is where lower frequency begins. In Supersonic, or choked jets there are cells through which the flow continuously expands and contracts. Several of these shock cells can be seen extending up to ten jet diameters from the nozzle and are responsible for two additional components of jet noise, screech tones and broadband shock associated noises . Screech is produced by a feedback mechanism in which a disturbance convecting in the shear layed generates sound as it traverses the standing system of s ... more details

Thomas Edward Tom Siddon , Queen s Privy Council for Canada PC born November 9, 1941 is a former Canada Canadian politician . Born in Drumheller, Alberta Siddon pursued engineering, eventually earning a doctorate in aeroacoustics . He became a professor at the University of British Columbia and founded a successful aero acoustics firm, Siddon Harford & Associates. After serving as City Councillor in Richmond, BC for two years, he was first elected to parliament in a 1978 election as a Progressive Conservative Party of Canada Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament MP to represent the British Columbia electoral district Canada riding of Burnaby Richmond Delta . When Brian Mulroney became leader of the PC Party, Siddon was appointed the party s science critic in the shadow cabinet . After the Tories won the Canadian federal election, 1984 1984 election , he was given the cabinet post of Secretary of State for Science and Technology Canada Secretary of State for Science and Technology . Siddon proved to be a hard working and competent MP, and was promoted to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada Minister of Fisheries and Oceans position on November 21, 1985, in the wake of the tunagate scandal that had forced the resignation of previous minister, John Fraser . Siddon remained in the Fisheries post for five years, until 1990, overseeing one of the most important eras in Canadian fishing history. By the mid 1980s, it was evident that severe overfishing was soon going to have consequences. Siddon thus attempted to impose stiff quotas on the catch, despite the protests of fishers and the destruction of whole communities as fish processing plants closed throughout the Atlantic provinces. However, in retrospect, Siddon did not go far enough, and in 1991 , a complete moratorium on cod fishing had to be imposed as the Canadian fishing industry all but collapsed. In 1990 Siddon was moved to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development position. Again, Sid ... more details
