5.4 Filtering a LES pressure field to find the corresponding acoustic field 87 the acoustic energy. For low Mach number flows, the acoustic energy is defined as [74] E ac = p′2 ¯ρ ¯c + ¯ρu′2 (5.5) From the definition of the acoustic energy (Eq. 5.5), it is observed that even though pressure nodes takes place at a given location, the energy contained is different from zero: it is given by the acoustic velocity which is expected to be maximum at pressure nodes. As a consequence, spectra without strong local minima are obtained. The acoustic energy spectrum for microphones 5, 6 and 7 is shown in Figs. 5.19 and 5.20 Ac.
