In this presentation, I will introduce our recent advances on controlling acoustic wave propagation via spinning media. We will start from a review of the theoretical framework for the scattering problem by a rotation object. Then we will introduce a generalized scattering cancellation theory (SCT) to cloak spinning objects from static observers. In another example, we will study the torque and force a spinning cylindrical column of fluid experiences in evanescent acoustic fields, and show that the resulting discontinuity can scatter sound in unusual ways, e.g., a negative radiation force.
