Preface

It is with great pleasure and a sense of accomplishment that we present the proceedings of the 2024 3rd International Conference on Acoustics, Fluid Mechanics and Engineering (AFME 2024). This event has once again brought together leading scholars, researchers, and industry experts from around the globe to share their latest findings, discuss emerging trends, and foster collaborations in the fields of acoustics, fluid mechanics, and engineering. The conference attracted about 100 experts, scholars, researchers, enterprise representatives and relevant personnel from all over the world, showing wide international influence. They shared the latest research results, exchanged technical experiences and explored cooperation opportunities at the event, jointly fostering research and development in acoustics and fluid mechanics engineering. The conference agenda mainly included keynote speech, oral presentation, poster presentation, academic discussion, among others, all of which together fostered an environment conducive to understanding academic trends, broadening research horizons, strengthening academic discourse, as well as promoting the industrialization of research outcomes. During the event, Professor Liang Yu from Northwestern Polytechnical University presented a report titled “Advanced Acoustic Testing Techniques for Aerospace Machinery Equipment,” showcasing cutting-edge achievements in the field of acoustic testing for aerospace machinery. Subsequently, Associate Professor Pan Gao from Shanghai Maritime University provided attendees with in-depth insights into numerical simulations of rotor sail aerodynamic performance. Last but not the least, Researcher Haiqiang Niu from the Institute of Acoustics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences showcased his research which introduces machine learning techniques into the field of underwater acoustic source localization. An impressive array of speakers delivered insightful and inspiring presentations on different topics. The proceedings of AFME 2024 encompasses a broad range of topics that encapsulate the essence of acoustics, fluid mechanics, and engineering. These include, but are not limited to, Acoustic Materials, Ultrasonics, Hydrodynamic Acoustics, Nonlinear Mechanical Wave Dynamics, Fluid Sound Radiation, Vibration and Noise Analysis and Control, Gas Dynamics, Engineering Fluid Mechanics, etc. Each paper, after meticulous peer-review by a panel of esteemed experts, has been selected for inclusion based on its novelty, completeness, and potential impact in the fields. The authors, hailing from prestigious universities, research institutions, and industry worldwide, have presented their findings in a clear and concise manner, making this collection a valuable resource for scholars, students, and practitioners alike. In the final foreword, we would like to thank all the speakers, authors, reviewers, and all the people involved in the conference. We also appreciate the members of technical program committee for giving such an opportunity for all of us to share scientific ideas and new developments at the conference. Last but not the least, our special acknowledgement also goes to the editors of IOP Press-Journal of Physics: Conference Series, for their preparation and assistance in publishing this paper volume.
