Abstract
Point source propagation over a screen located on a finite
impedance surface representative of grass-covered ground is
investigated under upwind and downwind conditions. The
theoreticalpart of the investigation involves extended use of
Parabolic Equation methods (PE) allowingfor the changes in the
vertical wind speed profile when the wind field passes the screen.
Theinfluence of turbulence is also implemented. The experimental
part of the investigation relieson a scale model technique based
upon a 1:25 scaling ratio and a triggered spark source. Themain
results relate to the size of the insertion loss of a screen under
windy conditions and tothe acoustic importance of the redirection
of the flow before and after the screen.
