Various windscreens are widely used in outdoor acoustic measurements to reduce the effect of the wind induced pressure fluctuations at the microphones and to improve the measurement accuracy. However, the physical mechanism of the wind noise reduction by windscreens remains unclear yet. In this paper, the wind noise reduction performance of spherical shell windscreens is investigatedwith numerical simulations based on the turbulent modeling in porous media. The effects of both the diameter and the thickness of the spherical shell windscreen on the wind noise reduction performance are investigatedfor both uniform and turbulent incoming flows. It is found that the wind noise at the microphone can be reduced by spherical shell windscreens only when the thickness of the spherical shell windscreen is smaller than 0.1 cmfor uniformincoming flow, and the wind noise reduction increases with the diameter but approaches a constant when the windscreen is largerthan 20 cm.Forturbulentincoming flow, the wind noise reduction performance of the spherical shell windscreen increases with the diameter and reaches the best when the shell thickness is around 1.0 cm.
