    Noise pollution around airports, trains, and industries increasingly attracts environmental concern and regulation. Designers and researchers have intensified the use of large-eddy simulation (LES) for noise reduced industrial design and acoustical research. This 2007 book, written by 30 experts, presents the theoretical background of acoustics and of LES, followed by details about numerical methods, e.g. discretization schemes, boundary conditions, coupling aspects. Industrially relevant, hybrid RANS/LES techniques for acoustic source predictions are presented in detail. Many applications are featured ranging from simple geometries for mixing layers and jet flows to complex wing and car geometries. Selected applications include scientific investigations at industrial and university research institutions.

    • The book contains the knowledge of 30 internationally respected experts
    • A variety of different applications are presented in the book ranging from simple geometries to complex wing or car geometries, which makes the book interesting for academic as well as for industrial research
    • The book shows a collection of different methods, tools and evaluation methodologies and explains their individual advantages and weaknesses

    Reviews & endorsements

    "With its impressive bibliography, it will be an invaluable resource for students who want to study the literature of this field, as well as researchers who are currently working in LES."
    Eleftherios Gkioulekas, University of Central Florida for SIAM REVIEW
