On the prediction of turbulent jet noise using traditional aeroacoustic methods

摘要

Several experimental, computational and theoretical results devoted to turbulence jet noise are described. All these results were obtained at CIAM in collaboration with the Boeing Company. The selected topics are combined and described from a single point of view. In spite of the many publications in the classical literature devoted to jet noise, many jet noise problems are not completely solved, and most current jet noise prediction methods are still highly empirical and rely heavily on an existing experimental data base. At the same time, many of the available experimental results are not fully reliable and some are even contradictory. The goal of this paper is, therefore, to explore and discuss some of the possibilities and limitations of classical aeroacoustics methods.
