Jet noise reduction is essential for realization of environmentally-friendly and highly-efficient supersonic jet engines for future civil transport. In the present study, experimental and numerical investigations were conducted to clarify the effect of microjet injection on supersonic jet noise. The experiments were focused on supersonic jet with Mach number up to 1.49 that was generated from a rectangular nozzle with high aspect ratio. Far field acoustic measurements were executed and the spectra and sound pressure data of jet noise were obtained. In order to understand the mechanism of noise reduction, flow field visualization was performed with shadowgraph technique. CFD analysis was conducted as well to observe the flow field and to estimate thrust loss due to the microjet injection.

Jet noise reduction is essential for environmentally-friendly civil transport. Since jet noise becomes very intense in the case of supersonic aircraft, noise reduction is crucial topic for the realization of next-generation supersonic transport. In the present study, experimental investigations were performed to clarify the effect of microjet injection on supersonic jet noise and flow field. The experiments were focused on supersonic jet with Mach number up to 1.47, which was generated from a rectangular nozzle with high aspect ratio. Far-field acoustic measurements were conducted for widely ranged microjet conditions to understand the influence of the condition on characteristics of supersonic jet noise and flow field. For understanding the unsteady behavior of the flow field and the relation with noise reduction, flow field visualization was performed with schlieren technique using a high-speed camera.

Jet noise reduction is essential for next-generation environmentally-friendly supersonic transport. In the present study, experimental and numerical investigations were performed to clarify the effect of microjet injection on supersonic jet noise and flow field. The experiments were focused on supersonic jet with Mach number up to 1.39, issuing from a rectangular nozzle with high aspect ratio. The experiments varied several parameters including main nozzle pressure ratio, total pressure of microjet, number of microjets and microjet injection angle. Far-field sound pressure measurement was performed, and the characteristics of noise reduction, including its directivity, were investigated. On the other hand, the flow field was visualized with a Schlieren technique in order to understand the mechanism of noise reduction. The unsteady behavior of the shock structure and the shear layer were investigated based on the visualization results. To investigate the effect of microjets on the 3-dimensional flow field, steady RANS analysis of the flow field was performed under various conditions of the main jet and the microjets.

Jet noise reduction is one of essential issues to realize environmentally-friendly and highly-efficient supersonic jet propulsion system. In the present study, experimental and numerical investigations were conducted in order to clarify the effect of microjet injection on supersonic jet noise. The experiments were focused on supersonic jet with Mach number up to 1.49, generated from a rectangular nozzle with high aspect ratio. The microjet injection angle was set to 90 degrees against the main jet axis. Far field measurements were conducted for the jet noise in the cases with and without microjet injection, and the noise reduction up to 7.5 dB was obtained. To study the mechanism of noise reduction, flow field visualization by schlieren technique and CFD analysis were conducted.
