A non-field analytical method for solving problems in aero-acoustics

In 2000, a non-field analytical method for solving various problems of energy and information transport has been developed by Kulish and Lage. Based on the Laplace transform technique, this elegant method yields closed-form solutions written in the form of integral equations, which relate local values of an intensive properties such as, for instance, velocity, mass concentration, temperature with the corresponding derivative, that is, shear stress, mass flux, temperature gradient. Over the past 20 years, applied to solving numerous problems of energy and information transport, the method-now known as the method of Kulish-proved to be very efficient. In this paper-for the first time-the method is applied to problems in aeroacoustic. As a result, an integral relation between the local values of the acoustic pressure and the corresponding velocity perturbation has been derived. The said relation is valid for axisymmetric cases of planar, cylindrical and spherical geometries.
