The Generation and Radiation of Supersonic Jet Noise. Volume 1. Summary of Supersonic Jet Noise Studies

Abstract

This is a summary report of the results of a 13-month research program on the generation and reduction of supersonic jet noise. This program was planned as the first phase of a four-phase effort. Tasks compromising this Phase 1 program were as follows: reviews and evaluation of existing theoretical models for supersonic jet noise generation and radiation; development of the framework of a new, unified theory of aerodynamic noise; development of a new theoretical model of turbulent mixing region noise; development of a new theoretical model for calculating propagation and radiation of upstream noise; a preliminary review of combustion noise; tests on turbulent mixing region noise and shock-associated noise; review of the problems of jet flow measurement and analysis; development of new instrumentation for jet flow measurement; establishment of full facilities for the total program; formulation of the program for future studies.
