Summary

This chapter follows Chapter 5 by treating the additional physical processes associated with sound wave propagation through an inhomogeneous, variable-area region with bulk flow. In the rest of this section we discuss four generalizations introduced by these effects: (1) wave reflection and refraction, (2) changes in disturbance amplitude and relative amplitudes of pressure and velocity disturbances.

Type: Chapter
