Abstract

A method of noise reduction proposed for the next generation of aircraft is to shield noise from the propulsion system, by positioning the noise source over a wing or another surface. In this
paper, an approximate analysis is developed for the acoustic field
far from a circular source placed near the edge of a semi-infinite
plate, a model problem for shielding of noise by a wing and for
scattering by a trailing edge. The approximation is developed for a
source of small radius and is found to be accurate when compared to full numerical evaluation of the field.
