Book Description
An acoustic prediction capability for supersonic axisymmetric jets was developed on the basis of OVERFLOW Navier-Stokes CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code of NASA Langley Research Center. Reynolds-averaged turbulent stresses in the flow field are modeled with the aid of Spalart-Allmaras one-equation turbulence model. Appropriate acoustic and outflow boundary conditions were implemented to compute time-dependent acoustic pressure in the nonlinear source-field. Based on the specification of acoustic pressure, its temporal and normal derivatives on the Kirchhoff surface, the near-field and the far-field sound pressure levels are computed via Kirchhoff surface integral, with the Kirchhoff surface chosen to enclose the nonlinear sound source region described by the CFD code. The methods are validated by a comparison of the predictions of sound pressure levels with the available data for an axisymmetric turbulent supersonic (Mach 2) perfectly expanded jet.

Book Description
The design constraints on jet engines for high performance supersonic military aircraft require lower bypass ratios and supersonic exhaust velocities, which result in very high noise levels. This is a great concern to the US Navy as the noise generated from the jet exhaust of high performance supersonic military aircraft can affect the hearing and performance of personnel working in close proximity of the aircraft. There have been reports about the US Department of Veteran Affairs spending over hundreds of millions of dollars in disability payments for hearing loss compensation to former Navy personnel. In addition to this, jet noise is also a source of annoyance in communities in the vicinity of airbases and military training routes.Over the years, several noise reduction methods have been proposed with varying levels of success. The most effective noise reduction strategies include the installation of chevrons, and the use of corrugated seals, among many others. One primary disadvantage of these technologies is that they are passive technologies and cannot be switched off or modified after take-off and hence may reduce overall aircraft performance. An active, though steady, noise reduction technology is the use of fluid inserts in the divergent section of a converging-diverging nozzle. The fluid inserts consist of rows of injectors that inject a small amount of bypass air into the diverging section of the nozzle. It has been shown that by altering the configuration and operating conditions of the fluid inserts, noise reduction for both mixing and shock noise can be achieved. Since this blowing can be controlled, the fluid inserts can be switched off or modified after take-off to minimize any performance penalty to the aircraft.Although considerable experimental research has been performed to explore the effects of fluid inserts on the jet exhaust, the available data have been found to be insufficient to correlate the noise reduction with changes in the flow-field due to the noise reduction device. The present study is an extension to the previousresearch on fluid inserts that uses Large Eddy Simulation (LES) with the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FWH) analogy for farfield noise prediction. The simulations are carried out using a commercially available CFD package, STAR-CCM+. The project aims to simulate and analyze the unsteady flow changes associated withthe noise reduction device to help understand the detailed mechanisms for the observed noise reductions.Different fluid insert configurations are used to analyze the effect of individual injector placement in a fluid insert on noise generation. It is observed that the changes in upstream noise correlate extremely well with the shock structure of the fluid insert jets downstream of the nozzle exit. Further insight into the noisereduction patterns is obtained by using two-point space time correlations and the use of the modal techniques such as Proper Orthogonal Decomposition on the near-field data on the FWH surface, which show that fluid inserts reduce the amplitude of the noise radiating coherent structures. Using Doaks Momentum Potential Theory, it is observed that the changes associated with fluid insertson the hydrodynamic and acoustic modes correlate well with the far-field noise reduction.

Book Description
Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a high-fidelity approach to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows. Recent developments have shown LES to be able to predict aerodynamic noise generation and propagation as well as the turbulent flow, by means of either a hybrid or a direct approach. This book is based on the results of two French/German research groups working on LES simulations in complex geometries and noise generation in turbulent flows. The results provide insights into modern prediction approaches for turbulent flows and noise generation mechanisms as well as their use for novel noise reduction concepts.
