Annotation
The aim of this course is deeper understanding the fundamentals of physical acoustics. The continuity equation, Euler and Navier-Stokes equations and the energy equation are derived from the prime laws of fluid dynamics. These equations are utilized for derivation of a linear wave equation under the acoustical approximation; its special solutions are discussed. General solutions of the wave equation and Helmholtz equation are formulated using the integrals of Kirchhoff-Helmholtz and Rayleigh. Using these integrals, some problems of acoustic radiation and diffraction are studied. Problem of the acoustic field description is further developed using the methods of Fourier acoustics.
