The scope of Acoustics has been extended to higher and lowerfrequencies: ultrasound andinfrasound. Structural vibrations are now often included in Acoustics . Also the perception of soundis an area of acoustical research. In our present Introduction we will limit ourselves to the originaldefinition and to the propagation in fluids like air and such a case Acoustics is a part major problem of fluid dynamics is that the equations of motion are non-linear.

9 This implies that anexact general solution of these equations is not is a first order approximation inwhich non-linear effects are neglected. In classical Acoustics the generation of sound is considered tobe a boundary condition problem. The sound generated by a loudspeaker or any unsteady movementof a solid boundary are examples of the sound generation mechanism in classical Acoustics . In thepresent course we will also include someaero-acousticprocesses of sound generation: heat transferand turbulence. Turbulence is a chaotic motion dominated bynon-linear convective forces. An accur-ate deterministic description of turbulent flows is not available.

10 The key of the famous Lighthill theoryof sound generation by turbulence is the use of an integral equation which is much more suitable tointroducing approximations than a differential therefore discuss in some detail the useof Green s functions to derive integral to Lighthill s approach which leads to order of magnitude estimate of sound production bycomplex flows we also describe briefly the theory of vortex sound which can be used when a simpledeterministic description is available for a flow at low Machnumbers (for velocities small comparedto the speed of sound).In contrast to most textbooks we have put more emphasis on duct Acoustics , both in relation to itsgeneration by pipe flows, and with respect to more advanced theory on modal expansions and approx-imation methods.
