Flow and far-field noise measurements are taken on a conical Convergent-
Divergent nozzle similar to the nozzles employed on high-performancetactical jets. Matching flow and far-field computations are presented,
produced by Large Eddy Simulation and the Kirchhoff integral method.The conditions examined are those in which the nozzle is operated at its
design Mach number of 1.56 while forward flight is simulated at Mach
numbers of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.8. Both measurement and LES show thatincreasing forward flight Mach number to the high subsonic range
shortens the initial shock cell size, and weakens the shock cells induced by
the nozzle throat relative to the shock cells induced by the nozzle lip. LESshows that high forward flight speed substantially reduces the noise
radiated into the forward quadrant where shock noise is dominant. It alsoremoves the screech tone entirely.

Introduction
High-speed military aircraft are typically powered by low-bypass turbofan engines with amixed exhaust, re-heat and a variable geometry convergent-divergent exhaust nozzle. As
the altitude and operating condition of the engine varies, the nozzles employed adjusts to
match the mass flow and jet Mach number to some extent, but they have internal flowcontours which are far from ideal and they are rarely shock free. This means that these
engines generally produce shock-associated noise as well as the turbulent mixing noisecharacteristic of subsonic or perfectly expanded jets.
The noise levels produced by these jets are quite strong. They produce near-field
pressures which are hard on personnel, aircraft structure and equipment, and far-fieldnoise which disturbs neighbors around air bases and training areas. Limitation of this
noise will reduce wear and tear on crews and equipment and reduce noise complaints
from those in the neighborhood.
There has been a fair amount of work published on noise reduction for subsonic,
commercial jet engines. The greatest gains in improving subsonic jets have come by
reducing the jet velocity while increasing the jet radius to maintain the desired thrust.Increasing jet radius means increasing engine radius and increasing aircraft drag so this
approach becomes less desirable as the aircraft velocity increases. Other approaches to
decreasing subsonic jet noise usually involve mixing enhancements which reduce thelow-frequency noise while increasing high-frequency noise.
When we shift to supersonic jets we have all the problems associated with mixing noise
to contend with, but we also have additional sources of noise resulting from shocks andPrandtl-Meyer waves forming shock cells or shock diamonds in the jet itself.
Figure 1 shows a typical far-field spectrum of an imperfectly expanded supersonic jet
measured upstream of the nozzle exit. The figure depicts the three main noisecomponents as was also described previously [1, 2].
The narrow peak with a Strouhal number of 0.32 is a screech tone. Screech is excited by
acoustic waves that are generated by interaction between shear layer vortices and shockstructures in the jet, which propagate upstream and excite flow instabilities at the nozzles
lip. These energized structures are convected downstream and further interact with the
shocks to form a feedback loop (cite Powell). Screech has been investigated by Umeda

and Ishii using the Schlieren technique [3]. In their experimental study the authors tried
to identify the locations and the behavior of the sound sources of the screech tone. Anamplification of the overall sound pressure level of an underexpanded and heated
supersonic jet was observed in the forward quadrant (upstream) and a reduction in the
mixing noise was found in the aft quadrant (downstream). The Strouhal number
corresponding to the screech frequency was found to decrease with forward-flight Machnumber, a result consistent with a formula for prediction of the screech frequency [5].
The broader peak at higher frequency than the screech tone is the broadband shock-associated noise peak. This peak is produced by coherent structures convecting through
the shock cells. This source exhibits a Doppler shift in frequency moving the frequency
higher as the observer moves to aft angles. At aft angles this peak also becomes broaderand reduces in level. The peak direction of radiation of broadband shock-associated
noise is in the forward quadrant, typically around 30. The majority of broadband shock-
associated noise occurs in the vicinity of shocks near the end of the potential core [5].
Both screech and broadband shock-associated noise are added to the turbulent mixingnoise that is present in jets whether they are supersonic or subsonic. This source is
generally dominated by the shock cell noise at forward angles and at frequencies at andabove the screech frequency. Mixing noise remains the dominant source as frequencies
below the screech tone at all angles and is the dominant source observed at aft angles.
Experimental Facility and Procedure
The Gas Dynamics and Propulsion Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati (UC-GDPL) has a scale model of a separate-flow jet engine exhaust system. For the present
experiment a convergent-divergent nozzle is fitted to the primary flow and the secondary
flow is used to simulate forward flight effects. The nozzle under study has an area ratioof 1.23, corresponding to a design Mach number , Md, of 1.56 and a design NPR of 4.00.
The exit diameter, De, is 57.5mm. The radius of curvature at the throat is 0.5 mm and the
exit lip thickness is 0.5mm. A secondary flow nozzle has been constructed to give nearlyuniform flow outside the primary flow nozzle. Several configurations of secondary
nozzles axial location relative to the center nozzle were tested and it was determined that
the shadowgraph images were independent of the particular configuration. Secondary
flow Mach numbers, M2, of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.8 are considered. The nozzle details are shownin Figure 2. The completed test article is show in Figure 3. The model is mounted in the
University of Cincinnati Aeroacoustic Test Facility (UCATF) which is a 24 x 25 x 11
test chamber which has been acoustically treated to be anechoic down to 350 Hz. Figure
4(a) shows the layout of the facility.
Instrumentation
Eight quarter inch microphones are arrayed along the depicted arc at angles from 35 to
150 measured from the upstream axis of the jet. The microphones are placed at 3.43mor 60 exit diameters from the nozzle exit. The facility is more fully described in
Callender, Gutmark & DiMicco [6]. The microphone signals are filtered above 100 kHz

and recorded at 200 kHz for 10 seconds. The flow variables are monitored at 4 Hz in
order to establish and hold the desired operating condition of the model. Variablesrecorded include the ambient conditions in the chamber as well as the flow stagnation
temperature and pressure.
In order to map the near-field acoustics, eight microphones are mounted on a linear rakewhich is in turn mounted on a large three-axis traverse. The rake is stepped through a
rectangular region just outside the main flow region. The resulting grid of pressure
fluctuations can then be analyzed on an OASPL basis or the particular spectral rangespertinent to different mechanisms can be mapped to look at source location and direction
of propagation. Typical mapped regions are shown in Figure 4(b).
Detailed flow-field mapping is performed by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The PIV
system is built by LaVision and the entire PIV suite, laser and cameras are mounted on a
traverse which allows the system to be translated, undisturbed, to any streamwise locationallowing many cross-cuts to be measured without the loss of time in changing setups and
without the uncertainties which come from repeated adjustment of components. Theflow is seeded with olive oil droplets with diameters on the order of 1 m. A 500 mJ
New Wave Research nd:YAG double-pulse laser is passed through sheet-forming opticsto illuminate the seed an the images are captured in stereo by a pair of LaVision 1376 x
1040 12-bit PIV cameras.
The high gradient features in the flow are visualized by the shadowgraph technique. An
Oriel 66056 arc lamp is used for illumination. A pair of 12 parabolic first-surface
mirrors with a 72 focal length are employed to collimate the light before the model andthen to focus the beam after. The image is captured with a LaVision Imager Intense
cross-correlation CCD camera with 1376 x 1040 pixel resolution and 12-bit intensity
resolution. This gives a spatial resolution on the order of 0.01 or 0.004 throat diameters.A 28-300 zoom lens is mounted to the camera which allows optimization of the field of
view. The aperture is left completely open and exposure is controlled by mounting a
filter. Averaging 100 images eliminates the turbulence and gives a clear view of theshock and Prandtl-Meyer waves.
Point measurements of static pressure and Mach number are performed using a
supersonic five-hole conical probe. The probe, a United Sensor model SDF-15-6-15-600,has a truncated cone with a half angle of 15, a total pressure port is located at the tip of
the truncated cone and four side ports are evenly spaced around the conic surface. When
the side port pressure values are averaged the Mach number result is insensitive to yaw
angle changes up to 10 [13].
Numerical approach
The evolution of the flow is considered to follow the compressible form of the continuity,momentum and energy equations in which the viscous stress and the heat flux have been
defined using Newton's viscosity law and Fourier's heat law, respectively. This set of
equations is often referred to as the Navier-Stokes equations.

The code used for the simulations is one of the codes in the G3D family of finite volumemethod codes developed by Eriksson [7]. These codes solve the compressible flow
equations in conservative form on a boundary-fitted, curvilinear non-orthogonal multi-
block mesh. To enable simulations with a large number of degrees of freedom, routines
have been implemented for parallel computations using Message Passing Interface (MPI)libraries. The Favre-filtered Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a finite volume
method with a low-dissipation third-order upwind-biased scheme for the convective
fluxes and a second-order centered difference approach for the diffusive fluxes. Thesubgrid-scale model used in the present work is the Smagorinsky part of the model
proposed by Erlebacher et al. [8] for compressible flows. The temporal derivatives were
calculated using a second-order three-stage Runge-Kutta technique. Detaileddescriptions of the numerical scheme and boundary conditions are given in Eriksson [7],
Andersson [9] and Burak [10].
Computational Domain
The computational domain was discretized using a block-structured boundary-fitted meshwith 249 mesh blocks and approximately 16M nodes. The domain is divided into two
parts: a high-resolution region around the nozzle and a medium dense LES region. See
Figure 5 and Figure 6. The mesh is constructed using a combination of Cartesian andpolar mesh blocks in order to ensure mesh homogeneity in the radial direction throughout
the domain. Along the centerline, a Cartesian mesh block of square cross-section was
used in order to avoid centerline singularity. See Figure 7. At the nozzle inlet total
pressure and total enthalpy are specified. Entrainment velocities at the outer radial boundof the computational domain are obtained by using a 2D extension of the domain
representing the flow outside the LES domain. In order to minimize the reflections at the
domain outlet on the predicted flow, a damping zone was added at the domain outlet. Thecorrect wall friction is obtained through the use of wall functions where needed.
Sound Propagation
For sound evaluation at a far-field observer, Kirchhoff [11] surface integral formulation
was used. For a point outside a surface enclosing all generating structures, this is amethod for predicting the value of a property, , which is governed by the wave
equation. The integral relation is given by

Description of Results
The preliminary efforts in this project were to establish valid boundary conditions for theLES, validate the LES code and take preliminary flow and acoustical measurements.
Pitot and hot film traverses were taken inside the inlet piping in the stilling section after
the flow straightening hardware and turbulence educing screens. The area ratio at thisstation A0/A* = 8.07 giving M0 = 0.072 for all NPRs above 1.89. Conditions measured in
the stilling section were used as inlet boundary conditions for the LES. Pitot traverses
were made at the exit of the secondary flow nozzle to confirm that uniform flow existed
in the vicinity of the models outer contour.
Measurements were taken while holding the jet fully expanded Mach number, Mj, to
within 0.01. Temperature ratio was held to within 0.04. Secondary flow Mach number,M2, was held to within 0.03. All these to a 20:1 confidence interval.
Mean Axial velocity contours are shown in Figure 8. In all cases the nozzle is operating
at its design condition, Mj = Md = 1.56, T0/Ta = 1.22. Three secondary flow Mach
numbers are shown. M2 = 0.1, 0.3 and 0.8. In the left column are measurements by PIVwhile in the right column are predictions from LES. The agreement between the two is
very good.
Centerline pressure is compared between a cone probe measurement and LES in Figure 9.In each case the LES data has been shifted 0.3 De upstream to align the first peak. The
shapes of the centerline pressure curves match well, though there is a slowly growing
difference in axial position between the two indicating a small difference in shock cellspacing. For the first two secondary flow conditions we see that the length of the shock
train is over-predicted by the LES. The cone probe run for the M2 = 0.8 run was
terminated early due to a hardware malfunction. The agreement between LES and coneprobe is fairly good as far as we have data to check.
Examining the mean velocity contours in Figure 8 we can see that the lower twosecondary flow Mach numbers clearly show two shock cell structures superimposed on
one another in a double diamond. The first of these structures emerges from inside thenozzle and reflects from the shear layer at around 0.15 to 0.17 De. The reflected wave
crosses the centerline at x/De = 0.8. The second, anchored to the nozzles trailing edgelip, is the shock cell structure seen in smoothly contoured nozzles. This wave crosses the
center at around x/De = 0.5. The two superimposed structures forming the double
diamond have been previously observed for unheated jets from conical C-D nozzleswithout secondary flow by Munday, Gutmark, Liu and Kailasanath [12]. At the higher
secondary flow Mach number (M2 = 0.8) the shock cell structure from the lip becomes
8/3/2019 David Munday et al- Supersonic Jet Noise from a Conical C-D Nozzle with Forward Flight Effects
7/21
7
slightly shorter, crossing the centerline at x/De = 0.4 while the structure from inside the
nozzle becomes much less pronounced.
At high subsonic secondary flow Mach number the structure from inside the nozzle
becomes indistinct in PIV, but it can still be discerned in shadowgraph. Figure 10 shows
shadowgraph images of nine secondary flow Mach numbers ranging from M2 = 0.0 to0.8. The vertical lines aid in tracking features in the images. They are aligned with the
features in the first image (M2 = 0.0) and we can see how the features move relative to
this condition in subsequent images.
Features associated with the lip wave are marked with green lines. The first green line is
at the nozzle lip itself. The second green line, the dashed green line, is aligned with thepoint where lip wave crosses the centerline. This crossing point remains fixed up to M2 =
0.4 after which it begins to move upstream. The third green line tracks the first reflection
of the lip wave from the shear layer which likewise moves upstream past M2 = 0.4.
Features associated with the wave from inside the nozzle are tracked by the red lines.The first red line follows the first reflection of this wave from the shear layer. The
second red line, the dashed one, follows the point at which this reflected internal wavecrosses the centerline. The third red line follows the second reflection of this wave from
the shear layer. These features also move upstream, but they also become weaker as
secondary flow Mach number increases. For M2 above 0.7 is becomes difficult to makeout the center crossing of this wave, but the reflection can be seen as high as M2 = 0.8.
Instantaneous Mach number contours from LES are shown in Figure 11 for M2 = 0.1.The lower subfigure shows a close-up view of the inside of the nozzle where PIV can not
reach. We can see that there is a shock wave shed from the nozzle throat producing aMach disk at x/D
e= -0.32. The onward traveling shock wave exits the nozzle and
reflects from the shear layer at z/De = 0.17 or so. The Mach disk sheds a slip line which
is clearly visible in the PIV as well as the LES confirming the details of the in-nozzleflow structure.
Looking at instantaneous total temperature in a series of cross-stream planes shows the
development and mixing of the hot high-speed jet with cool lower speed secondary flowin Figure 12. The cross-planes range from x/De = 1 to 9. Moving from x/De = 1 through
3 we can see the jet boundary become convoluted as large scale structures in the shear
layer mix the hot with cold fluid. By x/De = 7 there is little if any unmixed fluid, butbeyond this point we do see pockets of higher enthalpy as the jet flaps and flickers.
Far-field acoustics were measured in the laboratory and calculated from the LES. Spectrafor the nozzle operating at its design condition and M2 = 0.1 are shown in Figure13 range
of inlet angles. In both the measurement and the simulation we see the typical features
associated with shock associated noise. A screech tone appears at 2200 Hz with a
broadband peak at 2600-5000Hz in the forward-most angle, shifting to higher frequenciesas the observer moves aft. Measurement and simulation are compared in detail for the
forward-most angle in Figure 14. The agreement for M2 = 0.1 is outstanding. The M2 =

0.3 case is fairly good, with the screech tones in fair agreement, but some difference in
the shape of the broadband hump. We show no measurement for M2 = 0.8 because theouter shear layer, between the Mach 0.8 secondary flow and the ambient atmosphere is a
significant sound source itself, contaminating the measurement. The effect of high
subsonic secondary flow on the spectrum is striking. The screech tone in eliminated and
the overall sound level is substantially reduced.
Distribution of OASPL in azimuth by LES is shown in Figure 15 for M2 = 0.3 and 0.8. It
can be seen that the increased secondary flow substantially reduces the forward radiatingcomponents dominated by shock generated noise. There is s small elevation of sound
radiation to side and aft angles.
Finally we examine the effect of Mj on the sound production for the lower two secondary
flow velocities. For both M2 = 0.1 and 0.3 we can see a strong screech at the off-design
condition, both overexpanded and underexpanded. This screech diminishes and shiftsfrequency at a point slightly above the design Mach number. Increasing secondary flow
velocity causes a larger region of diminished screech. For M2 = 0.1 there is nodiminution in the broad-band shock associated noise near the design condition. For M2 =
0.3 the broad-band shock noise is reduced in the overexpanded condition except for aregion of higher broadband noise from Mj = 1.25 to 1.35. Looking at the same data on an
OASPL bases we see in Figure 17 that there is a minimum in the curve for M 2 = 0.1 near
the design condition (Pe/Patm = 1). Compared to the data of Seiner and Yu the minimumis shallow, due to the fact that while the screech is reduced at the design condition, there
is no reduction in broad-band noise. When the secondary flow Mach number is increased
to 0.3, the minimum becomes shallower still.
Discussion and Conclusions
The goal of this project is to employ a joint experimental/computational approach to
investigate the acoustic properties of conical C-D nozzles and to explore the influence of
forward flight effects on the flow field and sound field. LES provided us a tool to lookwhere it is difficult to measure in terms of location and in terms of operating condition.
Simulating large forward flight effects in the laboratory generates a secondary shear layer
between the flight simulation flow and the ambient air. This introduces additional sound
sources which contaminate the measurement.
We have demonstrated that the LES approach employed captures the physics necessary to
produce the double-diamond shock cell structure that is characteristic of conical C-D
nozzles even at their design condition. There are some small differences in terms ofshock cell spacing, shock train length and shear layer spreading rate, but overall the LES
captures the flow features and accurately reproduced the far field acoustic radiation.
The influence of increasing the secondary flow Mach number on the double-diamond jetis to reduce the initial shock cell size and to weaken the waves emanating from inside the
nozzle relative to the waves shed from the nozzle lip.

LES and CAA enabled us to predict the acoustic radiation at higher secondary flow Mach
number (higher simulated forward flight speed) than we would be able to measure. Wefind that the influence of high subsonic forward flight is to eliminate the screech and to
strongly reduce the forward radiated sound characteristic of shock containing jet noise.
