Abstract
In recent years, understanding of nonlinearity in noise from high-performance jet aircraft has increased, with successful modeling of nonlinear propagation in the far field. However, the importance and characteristics of nonlinearity in the near field are still debated. An ensemble-averaged, frequency-domain version of the Burgers equation can be inspected to directly compare the effects of nonlinearity on the sound pressure level with the effects of atmospheric absorption and geometric spreading on a decibel scale. This nonlinear effect is calculated using the quadspectrum of the pressure and the squared pressure waveforms. Results from applying this analysis to F-22A data at various positions in the near field reveal that in the near field the nonlinear effects are of the same order of magnitude as geometric spreading and that both of these effects are significantly greater than absorption in the area of maximum radiation.
