Abstract

A study is made of the propagation of sound in both a constant gradient shear flow and a turbulent shear flow above a flat surface. Curves are presented showing how, in the case of downstream propagation, the flow gradient tends to channel the sound energy into a narrow layer next to the wall. These results are used in estimating the effect of a flow on the attenuation of sound in a duct with absorbing side walls.
