Flinovia - Flow Induced Noise and Vibration Issues and Aspects

This is the proceedings of the First International workshop on Flow Induced Noise and Vibration (FLINOVIA), that was held in Rome, Italy, in November 2013.§§Flow induced vibration and noise (FIVN) remains a critical research topic. Even after over 50 years of intense research, accurate and cost-effective FIVN simulation and measurement techniques remain elusive. This book assembles the latest research by some of the best-known experts in the field.§§It describes methods to:§- characterize wall pressure fluctuations, including subsonic and supersonic turbulent boundary layer flows over smooth and rough surfaces using computational methods, like Large Eddy Simulation and measurements;§- infer wall pressure fluctuations using inverse techniques based on panel vibrations or holographic pressure sensor arrays;§- calculate the resulting structural vibrations and radiated sound using traditional finite element, as well as advanced methods like Energy Finite Elements;§- use scaling approaches to universally collapse flow-excited vibration and noise spectra and§- compute time histories of structural response, including alternating stresses.§§The authors represent a mix of academia, government and industry and several papers include applications to important problems for underwater vehicles, aerospace structures and commercial transportation. The book is a valuable reference for those working in flow-induced vibration and noise.§
