Abstract

Unstructured large eddy simulations are performed with the compressible flow solver ”Charles” developed at Cascade Technologies, for heated supersonic over-expanded jets issued from a twin nozzle. The study focuses on the modeling of the internal flow and its effects on the flow-field in the jet plume and ultimately on the radiated noise. In this work, near-wall adaptive mesh refinement, synthetic inflow turbulence and wall modeling are used inside the nozzle. In addition to the converging-diverging nozzle geometry, the computational domain includes the Y-duct, S-ducts, and angle adapter upstream of the nozzles, to realistically reproduce the elements of the experimental configuration where the internal flow conditions and wall modeling can be expected to affect the external flow-field and sound-field predictions. Comparisons between the numerical predictions and experimental PIV and far-field noise measurements from NASA Glenn Research Center will be presented and discussed.
