Abstract

Large-eddy simulations of supersonic jet noise emanating from an F404 nozzle at the model scale have been carried out using the JENRE flow solver. A wall-model method that was previously validated for a high subsonic flow over a flat plate is used to model the boundary layer effect inside the nozzle. The nozzle geometry is a faceted bi-conic convergent-divergent nozzle with a design Mach number equal to 1.65 and the nozzle-exit diameter equal to 5.07 inches. Both mildly and highly overexpanded conditions are tested for heated jets. The time averaged flow field, turbulence intensities, and the far-field noise are compared with available experimental data. The effects of both the boundary-layer thickness and turbulence intensity at the nozzle exit are investigated to assess their impact on jet noise generation and the noise source characteristics.
