On a lower-order framework for jet noise prediction based on one-dimensional turbulence

Noise prediction requires the resolution of relevant acoustic sources on all scales of a turbulent flow. High-resolution direct numerical and large-eddy simulation would be ideal but both are usually too costly despite developments in high performance computing. Lower-order modeling approaches are therefore of general interest. A crucial but standing problem for accurate predictive modeling is the estimation of missing noise from the modeled scales. In this paper we address this problem by presenting a novel lower-order framework that couples the one-dimensional turbulence model to the Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings approach for prediction of the far-field noise of a subsonic turbulent round jet.
