| Description | The evolution of hydrodynamic instability modes self-excited by harmonically related natural screech tones was experimentally investigated. A convergent rectangular nozzle with an aspect ratio of 9.63 was used to produce a supersonic shock containing jet. Measurements in the flow-field were made using standard hot-film probes positioned only in the subsonic (outer) portions of the flow. The hydrodynamic instability mode observed in the shear layer at the screech frequency was observed to be antisymmetric (sinuous) about the smaller dimension of the jet, whereas its harmonic was observed to be symmetric (varicose). In addition, the near-field noise measurements indicated that the radiated screech tone noise was out of phase on either side of the small jet dimension whereas its harmonic was in phase over the same region. To our knowledge such an observation on the nature of the harmonic has thus far gone unreported and therefore is the focus of the present work. The hydrodynamic instability modes occurring at the screech frequency and its harmonic satisfied the conditions for resonance. Detailed measurements of the coherent wave evolution in the streamwise and spanwise directions indicated that strong spanwise variations were present beyond x/h = 8. Details of the screech noise radiated by the coherent instability modes are also presented in this paper. |
