This book explores the mechanisms and applications of acoustic metasurfaces in the hypersonic transition control area. This book then discusses the modeling methods of various acoustic metasurfaces, including the regular and irregular ones, and describes how the models are to be used in theoretical analysis and numerical calculations.
