Advances in Underwater Acoustics and Aeroacoustics

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to announce a new Topic titled “Advances in Underwater Acoustics and Aeroacoustics”. Noise pollution impacts people and mammals, and the increased use of high-performance engines for ships, aircrafts, helicopters, and drones has limited acoustic certification by the shipbuilding and air-vehicle manufacturing industries. In order to share your own experiences and challenges on new theoretical–numerical methodologies and experimental techniques in the field of noise prediction, measurement, and control, the present Topic aims to bring together first-class articles on experiments and the modelling of sound generation and propagation mechanisms in free-space or in the presence of scattering phenomena for marine and aeronautical configurations. This Topic is expected to attract widespread attention and will have an excellent impact on the field of aero/hydro-dynamically generated sound. It will include (but is not limited to) the following:

• Propeller noise;
• Rotor noise;
• Jet noise;
• Acoustic scattering;
• Far-field sound propagation;
• Sound source identification and location;
• Sound wave reconstruction;
• Noise mitigation;
• Noise cancellation;
• Noise signal decoupling.
