Accurate predictions of the loudness of the  noise require accurate computations of sound propagation in the  atmosphere. This book describes models that can be used for these  computations. The models take into account complex effects of the  atmosphere and the ground surface on sound waves, including the  effects of wind and temperature distributions, atmospheric turbulence,  irregular terrain, and noise barriers. \u003cbr\u003e  The main text of the book focuses on physical effects in atmospheric  acoustics. The effects are illustrated by many numerical examples. The  main text requires a very limited mathematical background from the  reader; detailed mathematical descriptions of the models, developed  from the basic principles of acoustics, are presented in appendices.  Models for moving media are compared with models that are based on the  effective sound speed approach. Both two-dimensional models and  three-dimensional models are presented. As meteorological effects play  an important role in atmospheric acoustics, selected topics from  boundary layer meteorology and the theory of turbulence are also  presented.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781402003905\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402003905\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0660-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 335\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341218508940,"sku":"9781402003905","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402003905_1e6cb9d1-cd80-4bb6-a729-96fc17e1c220.jpg?v=1755060519","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402003905","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
