Abstract: This work develops a cavitation-consistent acoustic perturbation framework for predicting sound generation and propagation in cavitating flows. Unlike conventional acoustic perturbation equations for single-phase or weakly compressible flows, the proposed formulation embeds cavitation physics directly into the acoustic equations. The cavitation acoustic perturbation equations (CAPE) incorporate vapor mass transfer, mixture compressibility, and pressure-rate effects within a unified formulation, allowing cavitation-induced noise sources to be resolved in the computational domain. The numerical framework is verified using one-dimensional wave-propagation problems. The solutions become insensitive to further mesh and time-step refinement, the perfectly matched layer suppresses boundary reflections, and the predicted attenuation over a range of source frequencies follows Stokes' sound attenuation law. The framework is then applied to cavitating flow past a circular cylinder and a NACA hydrofoil. The non-cavitating benchmark shows dipole-like radiation associated with unsteady loading, whereas cavitating cases exhibit monopole-like or geometry-modulated radiation caused by volumetric phase change. Source-term analyses identify tonal frequencies associated with vortex shedding, cavity shedding, and collapse-induced excitation. The phase-change terms provide a direct volumetric contribution to the monopole-like source, while localized collapse events appear through amplification of the pressure-rate source. The proposed framework extends acoustic perturbation methods to cavitating multiphase flows and provides an efficient tool for hydroacoustic prediction, source localization, and mechanism analysis in marine and hydraulic applications.

For the first time, Congolese NGO to manage a DRC protected area
For the first time in the modern history of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a Congolese nongovernmental organization will co-manage a protected area in the country. “It is an honor,” Dominique Bikaba, founder of the NGO Strong Roots, told Mongabay by phone. Strong Roots has been entrusted with the management of Itombwe Nature Reserve […]

"The silver lining in the dark storm cloud of Trump and his detestable regime is that it has exposed the greed, venality, cupidity and corruption of the US’s corporate elite," writes @rbreich.bsky.social.

We are finally witnessing the decline of corporate Democrats
Americans are backing progressives not because they want socialism, but because they want candidates who will fight for the working class

In my latest article for Inquirer.net, I look at the possible role that #AI and #LLMs might have in the literary world. Should AI be only limited to spellchecking and copyediting? Or could they be used to write entire paragraphs?

On an island in the Bering Sea 1,200 miles from Anchorage, Alaska, sits an abandoned house on an abandoned Navy base.
There is no furniture, and the wind blows through broken windows.
The last people to live here moved away long ago.
Yet a bright orange pipe with a black fiber-optic cable inside runs from the outer wall down into the surrounding soil.  
The cable was installed to connect the home to the internet after the base closed.
It costs more than $340…
