Mechanics of Underwater Noise

Donald Ross' classic is the most authoritative book on the fundamentals of underwater noise radiated by ships, submarines and torpedoes. The approach taken by Dr. Ross stresses physical explanations of basic mechanisms by which noise is generated transmitted by structures and radiated into the sea. Despite the complexity of these phenomena, they are explained in a straightforward manner which emphasizes the dominant mechanisms. The contents of "Mechanics of Underwater Noise" address: definitions and applicable mathematics; theory of sound waves in liquids; acoustic radiation; structural vibration; cavitation; and noise-machinery, propeller, ship, splash, flow and cavitation.
