Abstract

Phased arrays have become a popular experimental technique for noise source identification. These techniques are generally limited in resolution due to the number of available microphones. In addition, noise source models are relatively simple, involving either uncorrelated point sources or simple coherent line sources. The former limitation is not present in numerical simulations, where the number and location of virtual microphones is effectively unlimited. The present paper describes numerical simulations of high speed jet noise using a Detached Eddy Simulation turbulence model. The nozzle, which is included in the simulations, is typical of the geometries found in high performance military aircraft. An Immersed Boundary Method is used simulate the effect of chevrons at the nozzle exit. The far field noise is predicted using solutions of the Ffowcs Williams – Hawkings equation. Phased array results are presented for both a baseline and chevron nozzle and the differences are discussed. In addition, near field virtual arrays are sampled and analyzed to include both radiating and non-radiating components. The implications of the results from the far and near field arrays in terms of noise source characteristics are presented. The results are compared with available experimental observations.
