Description:

In environmental acoustics, a knowledge of the directivity of industrial exhaust stacks is very important. Some information is available for unlined circular ducts. This project will involve building and testing scale models in the anechoic room so than non-dimensional directivity information can be obtained for both lined and unlined ducts and for ducts of square and circular cross section

Comments:

There will be sufficient financial support available to purchase all needed materials. This is an important research project and is likely to lead to the publication of a scientific paper.
