The theory in reference [1], for a source in rectilinear motion, using time variant analysis and an invariant surface flux source description, is extended here to include arbitrary source motion. The special case of a small rigid object is considered, with motion in a circle used as a simple example

โฆ Synopsis
The far-field sound produced by a rigid body in arbitrary motion, with shock discontinuities close to the body, is studied. The analysis is based on the work of Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings [1]. An expression for the far-field sound pressure is obtained in the form of surface and line integrals carried out over a contracting sphere and its intersection with the body and shock surfaces. It is also found that in addition to the quadrupole distribution, the discontinuities in Lighthill stress at the shock, the fluid stresses at the body surface, and the curvatures (principal and mean) of the body and shock surfaces contribute to the sound field. Two examples are worked out.
