    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.
