Abstract The shock-structure and the related acoustic field of underexpanded jets undergoes significant changes as the Mach number Mj is increased. The present investigation is carried out to study the effect of Mach number on an underexpanded 2:1 elliptic-slot jet. Experimental data are presented for fully expanded Mach numbers ranging from 1.3 to 2.0. It is observed that the ‘cross-over’ point at the end of the first cell at low Mach numbers gets replaced by a normal shock at a highly underexpanded condition resulting in the formation of a ‘barrel’ shock along the minor-axis side with a ‘bulb’ shock formed along the major-axis side. The above change in shock structure is accompanied by a related change in the acoustic field. The amplitude of fundamental frequency along the minor-axis side grows with Mj but falls beyond Mj = 1.75. Along the major-axis side, however, the fundamental frequency does not exist at low Mach numbers. It appears at Mj = 1.75 but then falls at Mj = 2.0. The related azimuthal directivity of overall noise levels (OASPL) shows significant changes with Mj.

The present study addresses experimental investigations of the near-field flow structures of an underexpanded sonic, dual, coaxial, swirl jet. The swirl stream is discharged from the secondary annular nozzle and the primary inner nozzle provides the underexpanded free jets. The interactions between the secondary swirl and primary underexpanded jets are quantified by a fine pitot impact and static pressure measurements and are visualized using a shadowgraph optical method. The pressure ratios of the secondary swirl and primary underexpanded jets are varied below 7.0. Experiments are conducted to investigate the effects of the secondary swirl stream on the primary underexpanded jets, compared with the secondary stream of no swirl. The results show that the presence of an annular swirl stream causes the Mach disc to move further downstream, with an increased diameter, and remarkably reduces the fluctuations of the impact pressures in the underexpanded sonic dual coaxial jet, compared with the case of the secondary annular stream with no swirl.

An underexpanded jet is utilized in industries as well as aviation field, e.g. to cool a body by the jet impingement, to remove molten metal in laser cutting, etc. One of the biggest problems is noise radiating from the jet which has high frequency, or screech tone. It is pointed out that the noise is closely related to the structure of the jet. In this paper, the underexpanded jets on a plate and hemispheres of different radii are visualized using the shadowgraph and Schlieren methods so as to analyze the jet structure, especially the flow field above the object, or the shock region. As a result, the radius of the hemisphere is found to have an effect not on the shape greatly, but on the location of the plate shock, and furthermore on the formation of separation bubble on the surface.
