Objectives
The course is aimed at giving the students a general background in aeroacoustics, the science of aerodynamically generated sound. This includes the physical understanding of underlying mechanisms, their experimental study and associated analytical modeling. Students will be able to address modern problems of engineering interest and to take up international scientific publications. Basic notions of general acoustics and fluid dynamics will be reminded. Many practical case studies will be presented, dealing with aeronautical and ground transports, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, wind turbines and wind-induced noise.
