Jet Aeroacoustics

Jet Aeroacoustics is a growing area, a function of the significant projected growth in global air transportation. With the era of widespread supersonic flight and the proliferation of general aviation aircraft on future horizons, the noise generated by the high speed flow from aircraft engine exhaust is of great concern for communities near airports, for passengers in the aircraft’s cabin, and for the structural integrity of the airframe. In addition, there are a number of industrial situations that desire lower noise from high pressure gas jets. Examples from industry include the noise from valves, burners, high pressure jets used in machining, miniature jets used for drying, and high pressure release situations in the power industry. Understanding the source of the noise itself is critical in the development of future noise reduction technologies. The book includes developments in the area of jet aeroacoustics theory, computations and experiments. Topics include: jet noise theories, simulation methodologies, predicting noise from complex geometries, design of jet noise facilities and jet noise measurements. The perspectives are provided by internationally recognized experts in the field. The book will provide a student, scientist or practicing engineer with a concise overview of developments in the field of jet aeroacoustics and a good starting point for further research.

 

Dynamic Analysis of Rotating Systems and Applications

by Professor B.S. Prabhu & Professor A.S. Sekhar
The rotor-bearing system of modern rotating machines constitutes a complex dynamic system. The challenging nature of rotordynamic problems have attracted many scientists and engineers whose investigations have contributed to the impressive progress in the study of rotating systems. With the advancement in high-speed machinery and increases in their power/weight ratio, the determination of the rotor dynamic characteristics through reliable mathematical models gain prime importance. The advancement in modern instrumentation and computational capabilities has helped in implementing simulation techniques of these complex models. Modern machinery is bound to fulfill increasing demands concerning durability as well as safety requirements. On-line condition monitoring strategies are becoming increasingly commonplace in a greater range of systems.

 

Annual Review of High Performance Coaching and Consulting

editor: Simon Jenkins
The Annual Review of High Performance Coaching and Consulting is an international, peer-reviewed, scholarly journal focused on the transfer of knowledge, understanding and skills from one domain (e.g., sport) to another (e.g., business), especially with regard to communication, motivation, leadership, talent identification and management, team building, organisational behaviour, and performance psychology. Ethical and marketing issues will be a priority. The mission of the journal is to bridge the gap between academic, professional and lay discourse on coaching and consulting. The journal encourages the submission of original research, case studies, 'state-of-the-art' reviews, advocacy pieces, and theory-driven reflections on practice. The review process of the Annual Review of High Performance Coaching and Consulting is 'open,' which means that both authors and reviewers know each other's identity; and acknowledgment of the reviewers' work is footnoted on the first page of each article. This process has proved successful for both the International Journal of Sports Science and Coaching and the Annual Review of Golf Coaching.

Green Power Markets: Support Schemes, Case Studies and Perspectives

Edited by Lutz Mez
This book focuses on one of the core topics of European Union energy policy: the increase and support of renewable sources for electricity production. It looks at the practicalities that are being addressed as renewable energy does indeed become a significant part of the energy supply mix: renewables are now the third largest contributor to global electricity production. Developments in energy policy in a range of key countries with focus on barriers and drivers towards further expansion of renewable sources and how those developments helped or hindered the growth in the use of renewables are analysed in detail from various perspectives. Additionally issues such as how policy developments have affected relations between the various actors in the energy supply chain are also considered.

 

Faults, Flow, Finance and Pressure in Exploration Assessments

Ian Lerche and James. A. MacKay

This book brings together the ability to discuss, in a quantitative and coherent fashion, problems having to do with oil and gas flow up and along subsurface faults. The main thrust of the book is concerned with problems of flow and retainable reservoir amounts including leakage and production factors, of financial, exploration and risk factors, of gas and oil differences, and of the need to determine how many Monte Carlo calculations to perform. Problems of pressure in the subsurface also impact exploration risk and estimation of probable pressure conditions are discussed. The probabilistic conditions ahead of drill determination are crucial in determining likely financial rewards and evaluation of such considerations is also shown to play a crucial role. The book is designed for both students in petroleum engineering and also for professionals who actively have to grapple with such problems.

 

Induction Generators for Wind Power

by Vladislav Akhmatov
This book is concerned with understanding and modelling grid-connection and fault ride-through capability in the context of electricity generated from wind turbines. It is very timely due to the rapid incorporation of wind power into power systems across the globe; meeting the challenge of maintaining reliable operation of those systems while using a new electricity source, is essential.

 

Space Structures: Principles and Practice

by Subramanian Narayanan
Space Structures are economical and aesthically pleasing in appearance. They provide a unique solution for covering large column free areas. This book gives a state of the art presentation of the analysis, design and construction of space structures. The author synthesizes data currently available with his original and exhaustive research to produce the definitive book on space structures.

 

Train-Induced Groundborne Vibration and Noise in Buildings

Osama A. B. Hassan
Worldwide, populations remorselessly increase; urbanisation increases. Land in cities, formerly considered unsuitable for building on, begins to be reassessed. As structures are more frequently being built above, around, close to, railways, so the problems of transmission of structure-borne sound and vibration in buildings, emanating from railways, needs to be more closely considered. This book reviews recent work on train-induced groundborne vibration in buildings, filling an important gap in the literature.

 

The Effects of Low-Frequency Noise and Vibration on People

Edited by Colin H. Hansen
The effect of low frequency noise and vibration on people is an important issue for communities around many industrial facilities and an transportation systems. There are a number of research groups throughout the world which have been actively researching these effects. This book brings together, for the first time in one set of covers, over thirty papers on the effects of low frequency noise and vibration on people.

 

Wind Energy in the Built Environment

by Sander Mertens

This book describes the wind resources in the built environment that can be converted into energy by a wind turbine. It especially deals with the integration of a wind turbine and a building in such a way that the building concentrates the available wind energy for the wind turbine.

 

Worship, Acoustics, and Architecture

by Ettore Cirillo and Francesco Martellotta
This book analyses how developments in worship demanded new physical surroundings - so that sound, whether spoken, sung, or played, could be properly heard; and analyses the other driver, developments in architectural technology, which made possible new shapes, which in turned opened up new musical possibilities.

 

new journals for 2007

The International Journal of Multiphysics

Editor-in-Chief: M. Moatamedi, University of Salford, UK
The International Journal of Multiphysics will publish peer-reviewed original research articles, review papers and communications in the broadly defined field of Multiphysics.
