Applications with focus on fluid machines and vehicles. To present the fundamental theories for sound generation and propagation in fluids with non-stationary (turbulent) flow fields. Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability. The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students. If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
