Theoretical acoustics course for postgraduates in Naning University

Abstract

There is a one academic year theoretical acoustics course for postgraduate students in the Department of Acoustic Science and Engineering of Nanjing University. The course introduces the physical principles and mathematical methods for acoustics in fluids, and the main objective is to deepen understanding of acoustical principle for postgraduate students in the field of acoustics following their undergraduate fundamental acoustics course. The contents include acoustic waves in ideal fluids, acoustic radiation in infinite space, acoustic scattering and diffractions, propagation and radiation of acoustic waves in dust, acoustic fields in enclosed space, acoustic waves in dissipative fluids, acoustic waves in layered fluid, acoustic waves in moving fluids, propagation of acoustic waves with finite amplitude, and effects generated by acoustic waves with finite amplitude. More details can be found in the book title “Principle of Acoustics in Fluids” published by Science Press in China in 2012.
