Acoustic propagation in a vortical homentropic flow

This paper is devoted to the theoretical and the numerical studies of the radiation 4 of an acoustic source in a general homentropic flow. As a linearized model, we consider Goldstein's 5 Equations, which extend the usual potential model to vortical flows. The equivalence between 6 Linearized Euler's Equations with general source terms and Goldstein's Equations is established, 7 and the relations between unknowns, in each model, are analysed. A closed-form relation between 8 the hydrodynamic phenomena and the acoustics is derived. Finally, numerical results are presented 9 and the relevance of using Goldstein's Equations compared to the potential model is illustrated
