Hydroacoustics and ship noise

Just as aeroacoustics deals with the noise generated by aerodynamic phenomena (see article "L'aéroacoustique en aéronautique" in the same treatise), hydroacoustics here refers to noise associated with hydrodynamic phenomena. But as this contracted word most often refers to "acoustics in water", whose main application is fish school tracking, the title has been supplemented by "ship noise" for greater clarity. Ship noise is both the noise radiated into the water, to which only the military attach great importance (problems of detection and stealth), and the noise on board, which concerns passengers and crew, as well as the noise radiated into the air, which can pose problems in the vicinity of port facilities. General concepts are already covered elsewhere in this "Noise and Vibration" treatise. For fundamental aspects, please refer to the following articles to "Aeroacoustics and hydroacoustics". Reference is also made to the following articles , "Fan noise" and "Noise of pumps".
