Jets and their Sound provides a detailed description and discussions of jet dynamics and sound radiation, with linear theory providing the required foundation to understand, model and control key aspects of the problem. The book begins with an overview of jet behavior, also discussing updated material and recent developments, including fluid mechanics and turbulence. In addition, it covers flow control applied for jets, aeroacoustic theory, kinematic and dynamic models, and provides theoretical methods of using linear theory and data analysis. The appendix at the end of the book features an overview of mathematical models and experimental and computational methods.
This book is ideal for research engineers and managers in aerospace and mechanical engineering departments as well as those in industry who work on aeroacoustics and propulsion.

About the author
André Cavalieri is currently an Associate Professor at Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA). He has a B.S. (2004) and MSc. (2006) degree from ITA, and a PhD (2012) from Université de Poitiers, followed by a post-doc at the University of Cambridge. His main research interests are on flow instability, turbulence and aeroacoustics, and also on the development of signal processing to extract relevant features of complex flows.Peter Jordan received his B.A. and B.A.I. degrees, in Mathematics and Mechanical Engeineering, respectively, from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, in 1996 and his Ph.D, also from TCD, in 2001. He has been a CNRS researcher at the PPRIME Institute (formerly Laboratoire d’Études Aérodynamiques), Poitiers, France since 2001.
