Vibroacoustics of flow-excited structures (Q4938531)

First, we present an overview of fluid mechanics of turbulent flows with a physical introduction and some discussion on the techniques to solve the equations of turbulent motion. Then we focus on the description of turbulent boundary layers and, more specifically, on the induced wall-pressure field which acts on structures as a distributed random excitation field. Finally, we consider the vibroacoustic response of a simple structure (thin rectangular flat plate simply supported along its boundary) to wall-pressure fluctuations. The influence of the choice of various models of the wall-pressure field in wavenumber-frequency space is discussed together with experimental and numerical examples.
