Abstract
The convective Mach number and density ratio dependences of sound sources and flow structures in a compressible mixing layer are investigated by direct numerical simulations. Characteristics of sound sources are analyzed using the source terms of Lighthill equation. As the Mach number increases sound source strength decreases, because vortex motion is weakened by compressibility. For density ratio dependence, the emission angle of Mach waves becomes shallower and vortices show sparse structures as density ratio increases. In addition, larger vortex structures appear at lower density side for higher density case.
