TY - JOUR AU - Moon, Young AB - aeroacoustics volume 10 · number 4 · 2011 i Editorial I am very pleased to present this special issue of the International Journal of Aeroacoustics that shows a profile of research activities in Asia. An earlier issue of IJA was dedicated to aeroacoustics research in India (IJA Vol. 7, Nos. 3&4) and this issue focuses on contributions from China, Japan and Korea. Extensive work is being conducted in the prediction, measurement, and reduction of aircraft noise and rotor- craft noise. At the same time, noise for low-speed aerodynamics is also of great importance for industries in research and development of air-conditioners, computers, and automobiles, only to name a few. In these applications, the noise level is low but sometimes even more difficult to reduce. Therefore needs for aeroacoustics research are strong and still growing. Besides, research in bio-fluid sound is now open wide for exploration of diverse medical applications for patients with diseases in human airway systems such as lungs, larynx, and nasal cavities, either for diagnosis and medical treatment before surgery or for an eventual tool development for virtual surgery. In this regard, we have to admit that the computational aeroacoustics techniques that have progressed significantly over the TI - Aeroacoustics Research in Asia JF - International Journal of Aeroacoustics DO - 10.1260/1475-472X.10.4.i DA - 2011-08-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/sage/aeroacoustics-research-in-asia-2Llm5NWr5T SP - i EP - i VL - 10 IS - 4 DP - DeepDyve ER -
