A comprehensive review of the use of Kirchhoff's method in rotorcraft aeroacoustics is given. Kirchhoff's integral formulation allows radiating sound to be evaluated based on quantities on an arbitrary control surface S is assumed to include all the nonlinear flow effects and noise sources. Thus only surface integrals are needed for the calculation of the far-field sound. A numerical CFD method can be used for the evaluation of the flow-field solution in the near-field and thus on surface S. Kirchhoff's integral formulation has been extended to an arbitrary, moving, deformable piecewise-continuous surface.The available Kirchhoff formulations are reviewed and various rotorcraft aeroacoustic applications are given. The relative merits of Kirchhoff's method are also discussed.
