This book highlights the importance of sound produced by fluid flow or flow-induced noise. Noise created by unsteady flow creates high levels of environmental noise pollution, a known public health problem, and can compromise the acoustic qualities of marine vessels. There is a seemingly ever-growing list of modern technology that created flow-induced noise which includes aircraft, wind turbines, submarines, drones, high-speed rail, and cooling fans. More scientists and engineers are requi...

A comprehensive guide to wind farm noise prediction, measurement, assessment, control and effects on peopleWind Farm Noise covers all aspects associated with the generation, measurement, propagation, regulation and adverse health effects of noise produced by large horizontal-axis wind turbines of the type used in wind farms.The book begins with a brief history of wind turbine development and the regulation of their noise at sensitive receivers. Als...

This book gathers the latest advances and innovations in the field of flow-induced vibration and noise, as presented by leading international researchers at the 4th International Symposium on Flow-Induced Noise and Vibration Issues and Aspects (FLINOVIA), which was held in Sydney, Australia, in May 2023. It explores topics such as turbulent boundary layer-induced vibration and noise, noise due to ingested turbulence, rotor noise, fluid-structure interaction problems, innovative measurement...
