Impinging compressible jets may cause deafness and material fatigue due to immensely loud tonal noise. It is generally accepted that a feedback mechanism similar to the screech feedback loop is responsible for impinging tones. The close of…

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…

Many natural and engineering systems involve the mixing of two fluid streams, in which the effects of density and viscosity gradients play important roles in determining flow stability. We perform linear stability calculations for a jet…

An experiment is conducted to investigate the effects of chevrons on installed subsonic jet noise at a Mach number of 0.5 using the NASA SMC000 (round) and SMC006 (chevron) nozzles. The jets are of a diameter D=16.93 mm and placed near a…
