This volume on Computational Aeroacoustics offers the reader exposure to a variety of computational methods and areas of application of aeroacoustics by many of today's prominent researchers. Having a single volume that provides such diverse examples of computational techniques for addressing the aeroacoustics problem allows students the opportunity to gain perspective or the active researcher insights on the possible value of changing from one technique to another. Students and established researchers alike can benefit from the background on the characteristics of various areoacoustic applications and their radiation behavior. All in all having a bound volume that contains many of the best articles on computational aeroacoustics from the International Journal of Aeroacoustics over the past several years is a useful resource.
