Abstract:
We present a study of sound propagation through a single vortex by direct numerical simulations (DNS) compared to experimental
measurements. We analyse the amplitude and the phase shift of the sound wave when it interacts with the vortical flow and
we display the focusing effects produced by the vortex. We show that the turbulent fluctuations have a little effect on the
sound phase shift whereas they induce a strong defocusing effect on the sound amplitude.
