Special Course on Acoustic Wave Propagation

Abstract

The Special Course dealt with the propagation of acoustic waves in inhomogeneous and moving media of both unlimited and finite extent. Recent theoretical and experimental work was reviewed, with particular emphasis on modelling of the phenomena involved and on prediction methods, as well as standardization aspects. The fundamental phenomena treated include: reflection, refraction, scattering, diffraction and attenuation. Measurement techniques and data analysis were also considered. Applications of the material presented occur in aeroacoustics, industrial acoustics and atmospheric propagation.
