The Sound of Fluid Flowing

Abstract:

We will discuss flows of fluids for which the flow velocity is much lessthan the sound speed. For such flows we isolate that aspect of the flowwhich creates sound.As an application we study flow which is nearly steady-state and show howto compute the amplitude and frequencies of the sound that it generates.Using this computation we show how to construct a flow meter which canmeasure the rate of flow of a fluid through a given vessel.
