Interaction Test

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect that a planar surface located near a jet flow has on the noise radiated to the far-field. Two different configurations were tested: 1) a shielding configuration in which the surface was located between the jet and the far-field microphones, and 2) a reflecting configuration in which the surface was mounted on the opposite side of the jet, and thus the jet noise was free to reflect off the surface toward the microphones. Both conventional far-field microphone and phased array noise source localization measurements were obtained. This paper discusses phased array results, while a companion paper discusses far-field results. The phased array data show that the axial distribution of noise sources in a jet can vary greatly depending on the jet operating condition and suggests that it would first be necessary to know or be able to predict this distribution in order to be able to predict the amount of noise reduction to expect from a given shielding configuration. The data obtained on both subsonic and supersonic jets show that the noise sources associated with a given frequency of noise tend to move downstream, and therefore, would become more difficult to shield, as jet Mach number increases. The noise source localization data obtained on cold, shock-containing jets suggests that the constructive interference of sound waves that produces noise at a given frequency within a broadband shock noise hump comes primarily from a small number of shocks, rather than from all the shocks at the same time. The reflecting configuration data illustrates that the law of reflection must be satisfied in order for jet noise to reflect off of a surface to an observer, and depending on the relative locations of the jet, the surface, and the observer, only some of the jet noise sources may satisfy this requirement.

Jet Mixing

The primary objective of this investigation is to determine experimentally the sources of jet mixing noise. In the present study, four different approaches are used. It is reasonable to assume that the characteristics of the noise sources are imprinted on their radiation fields. Under this assumption, it becomes possible to analyse the characteristics of the far-field sound and then infer back to the characteristics of the sources. The first approach is to make use of the spectral and directional information measured by a single microphone in the far field. A detailed analysis of a large collection of far-field noise data has been carried out. The purpose is to identify special characteristics that can be linked directly to those of the sources. The second approach is to measure the coherence of the sound field using two microphones. The autocorrelations and cross-correlations of these measurements offer not only valuable information on the spatial structure of the noise field in the radial and polar angle directions, but also on the sources inside the jet. The third approach involves measuring the correlation between turbulence fluctuations inside a jet and the radiated noise in the far field. This is the most direct and unambiguous way of identifying the sources of jet noise. In the fourth approach, a mirror microphone is used to measure the noise source distribution along the lengths of high-speed jets. Features and trends observed in noise source strength distributions are expected to shed light on the source mechanisms. It will be shown that all four types of data indicate clearly the existence of two distinct noise sources in jets. One source of noise is the fine-scale turbulence and the other source is the large turbulence structures of the jet flow. Some of the salient features of the sound field associated with the two noise sources are reported in this paper.

This paper describes an experimental study on a notched nozzle for jet noise reduction. The notch, a tiny tetrahedral dent formed at the edge of a nozzle, is expected to enhance mixing within a limited region downstream of the nozzle. The enhanced mixing leads to the suppression of broadband peak components of jet noise with little effect on the engine performance. To investigate the noise reduction performances of a six-notch nozzle, a series of experiments have been performed at an outdoor test site. Tests on the engine include acoustic measurement in the far field to evaluate the noise reduction level with and without the notched nozzle, and pressure measurement near the jet plume to obtain information on noise sources. The far-field measurement indicated the noise reduction by as much as 3 dB in terms of overall sound pressure level in the rear direction of the engine. The use of the six-notch nozzle though decreased the noise-benefit in the side direction. Experimental data indicate that the high-frequency components deteriorate the noise reduction performance at wider angles of radiation. Although the increase in noise is partly because of the increase in velocity, the penetration of the notches into the jet plume is attributed to the increase in sound pressure level in higher frequencies. The results of near-field measurement suggest that an additional sound source appears up to x/D = 4 due to the notches. In addition, the total pressure maps downstream of the nozzle edge, obtained using a pressure rake, show that the notched nozzle deforms the shape of the mixing layer, causing it to become wavy within a limited distance from the nozzle. This deformation of the mixing layer implies strong vortex shedding and thus additional noise sources. To improve the noise characteristics, we proposed a revised version of the nozzle on the basis of a computational prediction, which contained 18 notches that were smaller than those in the 6-notched nozzle. Ongoing tests indicate greater noise reduction in agreement with the computational prediction.
