Abstract
Under certain conditions, supersonic jet issuing from a supersonic nozzle invariably generates supersonic jet noise, which consists of three principal components ; the turbulent mixing noise, the broadband shock-associated noise, and the screech tones. In present study, it was experimentally investigated to the effect of nozzle lip thickness on the characteristics of supersonic jet noise. The convergent-divergent nozzle of design Mach number 2.0 was used in experiment. With two different cases in the nozzle-lip thickness, pressure ratio was varied in the range between 2.0 and 12.0. Acoustic measurements were conducted by microphones in an anechoic room, and the major structures of the supersonic jets were visualized by a Schlieren optical system for the purpose of the effect of nozzle lip thickness. The measured results show that the characteristics of supersonic jet noise, such as overall sound pressure level and screech frequency, depend upon the thickness of nozzle lip.
