The effect of turbulence on wave propagation in the atmosphere: Generation attenuation and scattering
Abstract
A comprehensive theoretical study of acoustical wave motion in turbulence is presented. The problems of noise generated by turbulence and that of interaction of acoustical waves with turbulence, resulting in either attenuation or scattering of the wave, are discussed. The spectral structure of sound pressure fluctuations generated by turbulence with strong mean shear is examined. Both the near field noise generated by an infinite turbulent medium and the far field noise generated by a finite volume of turbulence are considered.
