Abstract

In this paper, two-dimensional linear sound wave analysis in the stratified atmosphere with temperature gradient and velocity disturbance is numerically applied to the analysis and prediction of focus boom noise. Focus boom occurs when a supersonic transport accelerates or ascent or descent maneuvers at supersonic speed. Its overpressure is typically more than three times greater than that of a cruise sonic boom. As a result, supersonic transports in future commercial operation are likely to face restrictions on their flight conditions. The compact-explicit finite difference-time domain method is applied to the analysis of two-dimensional linear sound wave propagation. Some numerical experiments are carried out for the case of acceleration. As a result, it is shown that the complex wavefront is accurately analyzed by the FDTD method compared with the ray tracing method. It is also shown that a noise disturbed by velocity disturbance in the atmosphere reaches the ground over a wider area than the focus boom in the no disturbance case.
