|
T03 SS03 | Combustion noise and thermoacoustics |
Unsteady combustion generates sound. A particularly violent form of combustion noise tends to arise if the combustion takes place in an acoustic resonator, because then the heat release rate and the sound field can interact in such a way that they amplify one another, generating a "thermoacoustic instability". This can lead to structural damage in gas turbine combustors and some types of aircraft, so avoiding thermoacoustic instabilities is paramount. They are a complicated phenomenon, involving sound waves, combustion, aerodynamic effects, and structural waves, as well as the interaction between all these. This session aims to bring together scientists with an academic and/or industrial background in this area. With its focus on fundamental aspects of thermoacoustics, it complements the session T03 SS07 "Dynamics and acoustics in sprays, liquid fuel flames and aero engine combustors", which focuses on the engine applications, and which is organized by Jim Kok.

|
T03 SS04 | Airfoil/high-lift device noise |
Aircraft noise has received growing attention recently due to the ongoing expansion of the aviation sector and the ever-more stringent regulations on noise emissions worldwide. Airframe noise is significant during the approach in which the main noise sources include the airfoils and high-lift devices. Airfoil self-noise is also the main source of aerodynamic noise for many industrial fluid types of machinery, and the aerodynamic noise from the airfoils of wind turbines, unmanned aerial vehicles, and ventilation/cooling fans presents further challenges. The development of noise-reduction technologies requires an in-depth understanding of the noise generation mechanisms. This Structured Session calls for quality original research works and/or innovative design concepts, and aims to showcase the latest developments in theoretical, numerical, and experimental investigations of the source mechanisms and control methods for airfoil/high-lift device noise.

|
T03 SS06 | Passive control of thermoacoustic instabilities |
Thermoacoustic instabilities pose great threat to combustion systems as they are large amplitude pressure oscillations which can cause structural damage. Often, these instabilities are mitigated through passive acoustic dampers like acoustic liners, Helmholtz resonators or quarter- and half- wave resonators. This structured session invites papers on passive control of thermoacoustic instabilities; and is not limited to just the use of acoustic liners and resonators. It could also be designing modifications, utilization of existing phenomena like heat exchanging etc., to name a few. We invite theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies (including validation studies) that effectively dampen instabilities in combustion systems.

T03 SS07 | Aircraft noise measurements for validation of regulatory models |
The impressive growth shown by the aviation industry has given rise to important economic benefits, but this also comes at the price of, among other things, potentially high aviation-induced noise levels, resulting in annoyance and health problems. Therefore, in many countries, regulations are implemented by imposing limits on the yearly cumulative noise levels at locations around airports. These levels are determined using best-practice models (or regulatory models), such as DOC29. With such models, noise contours around airports can be calculated with low computational costs and limited model inputs. This way of noise monitoring comes with significant model approximations and hence deviations of model predictions from the actual noise levels. The limitations of this current approach have given rise to distrust in communities located close to airports. Therefore, validation of the regulatory models using real measurements is of crucial importance, i.e. by comparing the (yearly averaged) modelled Lden and Lnight values with those measured at various locations. Also, model validation at the single event level, e.g. comparing measured and modelled SEL values, is highly desirable. In addition, these validation efforts are important for testing potential noise level reductions due to the introduction of new and less noisy aircrafts and the implementation of noise abatement flight procedures. |
|
T03 SS08 | Dynamic transitions and effects of noise |
This session will focus on the dynamics of thermoacoustic and aeroacoustic systems during their transition from stable to unstable states as well as between periodic and aperiodic states (e.g. quasiperiodic, intermittent, and chaotic states). Special attention will be given to how such transitions could be influenced by noise and how they could be related to events such as flame flashback/blowoff in combustion chambers, stall of an airfoil, and more. |
|
T03 SS09 | Propeller noise |
The noise and its perception of an aircraft is a crucial factor in attaining community and regulatory acceptance. Thus, in the recent development of quieter, more sustainable aerial vehicles from short-to-medium-haul jetliners to urban air mobility, understanding and accurate prediction of propeller noise, as the primary element in the propulsion configurations, has become increasingly important and an integral part of the design process. In this session, we aim to include the latest research and development work on propeller noise in its broad definitions, which include analytical, numerical, and experimental investigations of the isolated propeller/rotor noise as well as in the installed configurations; moreover, works on examining the propagation and impact of the propeller noise on the community are also highly encouraged. |

T04 SS03 | Environmental noise and the impact on health and quality of life |
Exposure to excessive noise levels can be more than just a nuisance, causing far-reaching consequences for both ecosystems and human well-being. In pursuing sustainable and lovable cities, addressing this challenge is increasingly higher on the agenda. However, noise is a unique environmental parameter, as its perception and impacts are very complex and surprisingly subjective. For this reason, more than for any other environmental issue, involving citizens in environmental noise monitoring is key. This thematical session explores the pivotal role of citizen science in understanding, monitoring, and mitigating environmental noise and how it can be used to grasp the multi-faceted dimensions of the acoustic environment, from the impact of road-, air- and rail traffic noise to the restorative role of natural sounds. Citizen science, an increasingly influential movement, empowers individuals to actively participate in data collection, analysis, and advocacy, providing researchers with valuable insights into the perceived and objective impact of environmental noise. This session aims to bring together an international set of researchers on environmental noise who use the power of citizen science to share insights, experiences, and innovative approaches. By emphasizing the power of grassroots initiatives, the democratization of environmental data collection and the importance of technological innovation, we seek to inspire collaborative efforts to address the urgent challenge of noise pollution and create healthier, quieter, and more harmonious living environments for all. |

T05 SS02 | Nonlinear acoustics and vibrations |
Nonlinear acoustics and vibration have become increasingly important during the last forty years due to the exponential increase of computation power, increasingly higher sensitivity of electronic instrumentation and suitable signal processing. It is a broad field, which encompasses large amplitude sound waves and vibration. The nonlinearity of materials results in nonlinear effects, which arise from defects in the materials present at all scales. Applications include nonlinear non-destructive testing (NDT), harmonic medical ultrasound imaging, high intensity focused ultrasound for non-invasive surgery, cavitation, and control of high intensity jet noise and development of new materials such as nanocomposite and memory-based materials. Also included are the phenomenon of chaos, which has become popular during the last twenty years with the establishment of institutes of nonlinear science and complex systems in universities and research centres. In addition, journals are now dedicated to this subject. Chaos theory is used today even in the prediction of price movement on stock markets. Also, an important topic for this session will be the application of gauge invariance approach to nonlinear acoustics and vibration which will include treatment of inverse scattering, multiple scattering problems and interactions.

T05 SS03 | Sound propagation in curvilinear spacetime |
Acoustic cloaking is the first application of sound propagation in curvilinear spacetime. The discovery of gravitational wave in 2014 confirmed Einstein's general theory of relativity (GR) which is described on curvilinear spacetime. The Nobel physics prize 2020 further confirmed Einstein's general theory of relativity and the concept of curvilinear spacetime. So far, applications of curvilinear spacetime have been to large objects such as in astrophysics and in plasma physics. So, it is time to extend curvilinear spacetime to small scales phenomena especially to high intensity sound propagation. Curvilinear spacetime approach is especially suitable for intense sound and nonlinear acoustics due to the curvilinear path of intense sound field. So, this is the correct treatment of nonlinear acoustics. This will be useful for the design of extremely high sensitivity and high precision instruments especially to be used in space research and in tsunami detection system. This will also bring nonlinear acoustics to the next level. Also, curvilinear spacetime will enable the covariance of all equations in physics. So, it is the correct coordinates platform to be used. This is also a revolutionisation/reformulation of nonlinear fluid mechanics and nonlinear fluid dynamics, especially for applications to study of jet noise, rocket noise and space shuttle noise. This will introduce Einstein's field equations to acoustics. The scope of this session will include: 1. Nonlinear acoustics in curvilinear spacetime; 2. Derivation of acoustic field equation in curvilinear spacetime, for applications to high intensity sound propagation in both fluids and elastic solids; 3. Nonlinear elasticity; 4.

Sonic fusion and sonoluminescence; 7. The extension of acoustic radiation force (ARF), an intense sound to curvilinear spacetime which will bring in the gravitational field. This will include topics of acoustic levitation, cavitation, and microfluidics; 8. Acoustic blackhole. |

T06 SS03 | Noise and vibration in small, medium and large industries |
Whatever their size, workshops often have noise problems. More to the point smaller entities seldom enjoy a private internal health and safety service, or environmental control for that matter, and solely rely on the labour ministry doctor – if available and willing to dabble in environmental matters. The following aspects are especially tackled in this session: i) Noise in the environment (overview of regulations, consequences on operations, monitoring the noise, noise reduction problems); ii) Noise at the workstations outdoors (assessing noise exposure, reducing noise at the source, planning the work to reduce the noise exposure, case of maintenance people); iii) Considerations with regards to the industrial building (overview of regulations, requirements for acoustic absorption, reducing the sound propagation, ensuring alarm signals can be safely heard, while making sure the neighbourhood is suitably protected); iv) Legal considerations: While one may emit recommendations and hope for the best, most of the time it is necessary to implement regulations in order to achieve a result. But is it sufficient to edit a regulation if nobody oversees applying it? Furthermore, even in the European Union where the rules are supposed to be identical in each member country, is the law applied in the same spirit everywhere? This session aims to compare experience gained in various countries and over a broad range of subjects and wonder about the potential perspectives. |

T08 SS03 | Acoustic metamaterial and phononic crystal: fundamentals & applications |
Acoustics has enjoyed a strong revival during the past two decades, propelled mainly by the advent of phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials that focused on man-made structures with acoustic properties not found in nature. Acoustic metamaterial is a manifestation of symmetry properties of acoustic fields Gauge theory is a more fundamental approach to metamaterials. Whereas phononic crystals denote periodic structures exhibiting frequency bandgaps in which there can be no propagating acoustic/elastic waves, acoustic metamaterials acquire their exotic characteristics as collective manifestations of local resonators. Both phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials are composite structures. The past fifteen years have witnessed the novel capabilities arising from locally resonant sonic materials. Common applications of acoustic metamaterials and phononic crystals, are acoustic superlens, acoustic/aeroacoustic cloaking, ultra-thin sound absorber or barriers. Recent discovery of metamaterial as artificial phase transition has manifested in quantum metamaterial producing artificial superconductivity and metamaterial as route to high temperature superconductivity. Permittivity, permeability, effective bulk modulus, and effective mass density are transport properties. Metamaterials with singularity behaviour of transport properties at point of local resonance is like that of singularity at critical point of phase transition. Based on transport properties, one can go beyond acoustic and electromagnetic metamaterials to other forms of metamaterials Also with metamaterials as artificial phase transition, one can control the degree of phase transition.

T12 SS05 | Low frequency underwater acoustics (under 200 Hz) |
The low frequency underwater acoustic landscape is rich with many different sounds including the general ambient background noise. In addition, there is sound from natural events, such an underwater volcanic eruptions and storm events. Many marine mammals also vocalize in the frequency range of interest here, i.e., below 200 Hz. Due to the low absorption at very low frequencies sounds can often be heard and recorded from hundreds of kilometres from their source. There are often complex propagation mechanisms as low frequency sound also travels through the sediment. In the polar regions several researchers have been investigating changes in the underwater acoustics due to climate change, including transient events from ice break-away. There are also a few man-made noises such as pile driving, surveying and, increasingly, sound coupling into the ocean and seabed from offshore wind farms. This session will welcome papers on any of the above topics, including processing and classification of LF underwater acoustics. It is worth noting that there is a separate session on Ship Underwater Radiated Noise and so you may wish to submit material there if your research is on that topic. |
