Abstract
The propagation of low-frequency noise generated by air turbulent motion in water-cooling towers is investigated by the use of geometrical acoustics of moving media. It is shown that a cooling tower plum acts as the sonic channel for some acoustic rays. In some cases the acoustic rays are bent by the interaction of the plum and wind. Qualitative and numerical results of mathematical simulations are presented.
