| Abstract | The sound field due to a supersonic elliptic jet is studied by direct integration of the propagation equations. Aerodynamic predictions are based on numerical solution to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in conservative law form, with a k-epsilon turbulence model. In the high frequency limit, the sound field is described by eigenrays that link the source of noise to an observer in the far-field. We assume that noise is dominated by fine-scale turbulence. Using methods derived from acoustic analogy, source correlation terms are simplified and a model is derived that relates jet noise intensity to the 7/2 power of turbulence kinetic energy. Local characteristics of the source such as its strength, time- or length-scale, and convection velocity are derived from mean flow predictions. Numerical results are compared with data for a Mach 1.5 elliptic jet as well as for a round jet. The study suggests that three-dimensional directivity of noise for jets of arbitrary geometry may be predicted with reasonable accuracy when refraction by mean flow gradients is properly accounted for. |
