Abstract

The two-dimensional low Mach number sound field from the passage of a line vortex around the edge of a rigid half plane is calculated by singular perturbation methods. Simple exact expressions are given for the space-time variation of the acoustic field, and for the total radiated energy and its frequency spectrum. These expressions show in particular that the effect of the half plane is to increase the energy radiated by a nearby vortical flow by M−3, where M is a characteristic Mach number.
