Kergomard, J.

Since 1973 Jean Kergomard is researcher at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, successively in Paris, Le Mans and Marseilles. His dissertation (1981) was entitled: Internal and external field of wind instruments. In Le Mans he studied several topics related to propagation in ducts, such as dissipation, discontinuities, effects of periodic and random diffusors, automotive mufflers, non-locally absorbing materials for aircraft engines, and musical instruments. From 2000, in the Laboratoire d'Acoustique et de Mécanique in Marseilles, he investigates self-sustained oscillations of wind instruments and modal decomposition in dissipative or active media.
