Abstract

Low-frequency noise sources in heated single-stream jets were identified by cross-correlating turbulent density fluctuations ρ′ with the far-field sound pressure fluctuations p′. The turbulent density fluctuations were measured by a molecular Rayleigh-scattering technique. For a fixed jet velocity Uj, the normalized correlation coefficient 〈ρ′; p′〉/(ρ′rms p′rms is found to increase progressively with an increase in the plume temperature (subscript rms stands for root-mean-square). The result indicates an improvement of the noise radiation efficiency with heating. Directly measured noise spectra from fixed velocity jets with increasing temperature ratio show confusing trends. However, if such spectra are normalized by theplume density, then a consistent trend of increasing noise level with increased plume temperature emerges. The increased noise is the most prominent at the low-frequency end, consistent with the correlation data. The effect of increasing jet velocity keeping the plume temperature constant was also studied. The correlation coefficients were found to improve significantly with velocity; a result consistent with prior observation from unheated jets. Additional findings on the time-averaged density variations and the changes in the air density fluctuations with increasing plume temperature are also discussed.
