Acoustics of Fluid-Structure Interactions

From MaRDI portal





The book deals with the investigation of basic processes of sound generation (absorption) by interaction with solid and elastic structures. This book is not a simple textbook, but it rather can be used as a guidance and handbook for starting more detailed studying, because the book contains a strong overview of contemporary results in acoustic of fluid-structure interaction, a wide range of questions of the fluid dynamics and the fluid interaction with boundaries, a lot of results obtained by author, and a critical analysis of material which reflects a unified author's approach. The complexity of the book classification gives the possibility of multi-purpose use. The main direction of the book is the development of analytical methods in the modeling of acoustic interaction. For the majority of problems, the author prefers to apply analytical methods of investigation which allow to reflect deeper physical properties of the mentioned problems. At that, the author does not avoid to study several problems difficult for analytical investigation, for instance nonlinear acoustic interaction, behavior of solutions near corners and edges and other similar problems. The book describes basic analytical approaches in the mechanics of acoustic interaction of liquid with structures. A limited volume of the book does not allow to expound some questions in detail, but a large bibliography will enable to solve this problem in case of need. The book is conveniently sectioned into chapters. An overview of basic mathematical methods and models used in the fluid acoustics is represented in the first chapter. The second chapter deals with the aerodynamical sound, generated by vorticity in unbounded flows. The third chapter is connected with the investigation of low Mach number flows which interact with rigid boundaries. A generalization of these results to the sound generation in a fluid with flexible boundaries is represented in the fourth chapter. Basic mechanisms of the influence of elastic properties on the sound generation are studied. Some special problems on the sound interaction with solid structures are described in chapter five. Namely, here the author describes such important questions as dissipation and scattering of sound, sound generation by vorticity production on edges and in a corner vicinity, sound generation by jet flows and perforated screens, and some nonlinear mechanisms. The final sixth chapter considers problems on the sound generation by resonant and unstable systems including some types of musical instruments and engineering systems. Numerous practical samples illustrate peculiarities of modeling methods and physical aspects. The majority of results are obtained based on linear approaches. These methods form a system of constructive tools for investigation of acoustic processes. However, in case of need nonlinear approaches are used. The book is aimed at both scientists and graduate students. It can be useful for engineers, who are familiar with basic mathematical methods of acoustics.
