Book Description
Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is used to study the mechanism of generation and evolution of turbulence structures in a temporally evolving supersonic swirling round jet and also to examine the resulting acoustic radiations. Fourier spectral expansions are used in the streamwise and azimuthal directions and a 1-D b-spline Galerkin representation is used in the radial direction. Spectral-like accuracy is achieved using this numerical scheme. Direct numerical simulations, using the b-spline spectral method, are carried out starting from mean flow initial conditions which are perturbed by the most unstable linear stability eigenfunctions. It is observed that the initial helical instability waves evolve into helical vortices which eventually breakdown into smaller scales of turbulence. 'Rib' structures similar to those seen in incompressible mixing layer flow of Rogers and Moserl are observed. The jet core breakdown stage exhibits increased acoustic radiations.

Book Description
Jet noise is a major concern in the design of commercial aircraft. Studies by various researchers suggest that aerodynamic noise is a major contributor to jet noise. Some of these studies indicate that most of the aerodynamic jet noise due to turbulent mixing occurs when there is a rapid variation in turbulent structure, i.e. rapidly growing or decaying vortices. The objective of this research was to simulate a compressible round jet to study the non-linear evolution of vortices and the resulting acoustic radiations. In particular, to understand the effect of turbulence structure on the noise. An ideal technique to study this problem is Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), because it provides precise control on the initial and boundary conditions that lead to the turbulent structures studied. It also provides complete 3-dimensional time dependent data. Since the dynamics of a temporally evolving jet are not greatly different from those of a spatially evolving jet, a temporal jet problem was solved, using periodicity in the direction of the jet axis. This enables the application of Fourier spectral methods in the streamwise direction. Physically this means that turbulent structures in the jet are repeated in successive downstream cells instead of being gradually modified downstream into a jet plume. The DNS jet simulation helps us understand the various turbulent scales and mechanisms of turbulence generation in the evolution of a compressible round jet. These accurate flow solutions will be used in future research to estimate near-field acoustic radiation by computing the total outward flux across a surface and determine how it is related to the evolution of the turbulent solutions. Furthermore, these simulations allow us to investigate the sensitivity of acoustic radiations to inlet/boundary conditions, with possible appli(, a- tion to active noise suppression. In addition, the data generated can be used to compute, various turbulence quantities such as mean velociti..

Book Description
A good understanding of turbulent compressible flows is essential to the design and operation of high-speed vehicles. Such flows occur, for example, in the external flow over the surfaces of supersonic aircraft, and in the internal flow through the engines. Our ability to predict the aerodynamic lift, drag, propulsion and maneuverability of high-speed vehicles is crucially dependent on our knowledge of turbulent shear layers, and our understanding of their behavior in the presence of shock waves and regions of changing pressure. Turbulent Shear Layers in Supersonic Flow provides a comprehensive introduction to the field, and helps provide a basis for future work in this area. Wherever possible we use the available experimental work, and the results from numerical simulations to illustrate and develop a physical understanding of turbulent compressible flows.

Book Description
This report discusses detailed accounts of major theoretical and experimental investigations directed toward obtaining better understanding and mathematical specification of supersonic turbulent jets. Complete theoretical discussions are given describing the influence of a jet's mean flow shrouding on acoustic radiation of heated and unheated jets, approximate closed form acoustic expressions for turbulent mixing noise characterized by self-noise and shear-noise are given, and theoretical aero-acoustic formulations for the orderly structure of supersonic jets are reviewed. Extensive theory/data comparisons of developed acoustic models are given. Experimental investigations aimed at studying high velocity jet refraction, and the influence of jet swirl and upstream combustion roughness on jet noise is presented. Additionally, an extensive series of laser velocimeter measurements for high velocity and high temperature simple circular jets is discussed. Results include hot-film/laser velocimeter comparisons for ambient jets, mean velocity and turbulent velocity plume surveys of heated supersonic shock-free and shocked flow nozzles, and a demonstration experiment illustrating the capability of performing in-jet turbulence to far-field acoustic cross-correlation.

Book Description
A fully-developed high Reynolds number Mach 3 turbulent boundary layer and the effects of four expansion regions (centered and gradual expansions of 7 deg and 14 deg) on the boundary layer were investigated by utilizing 1) multi-point instantaneous surface pressure measurements, 2) instantaneous single- and double-pulse flow visualizations based on Filtered Rayleigh Scattering (FRS), 3) two-component planar velocity measurements using Filtered Planar Velocimetry (FPV), and 4) detailed turbulence measurements using Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV). Flow visualization results indicate that the upper half of the fully developed turbulent boundary layer is populated with elongated longitudinal structures of considerable streamwise but very limited spanwise extent. These structures are randomly distributed in space and time and survive even the 14 deg centered expansion. The visualizations also show that large scale structures increase both in size and angle and small scale structures are quenched across the expansions. The angle of large scale structures return to the flat plate value further downstream of the expansions. The normalized power spectra of pressure fluctuations downstream of the expansions are more concentrated at lower frequencies than their upstream counterparts, confirming the small scale quenching shown by flow visualizations.
