Abstract:
The origins and manifestations of aerodynamic noise generated by high-speed tracked vehicles are discussed, and examples of measurements on magnetically levitated and wheeled trains are used to illustrate the significance of this noise. Sound-source location measurements with microphone arrays and the difficulties encountered in predicting aeronoise are also discussed.
