Design and Demonstration of a New Small-Scale Jet Noise Experiment
Abstract
A facility capable of acoustic and velocity field measurements of high-speed jets has recently been built and tested. The anechoic chamber that houses the jet has a 2.1 m × 2.3 m × 2.5 m wedge tip to wedge tip working volume. We aim to demonstrate that useful experiments can be performed in such a relatively small facility for a substantially lower cost than in larger facility. Rapid prototyping allows for quick manufacturing of both simple and complex geometry nozzles. Sideline and 30° downstream acoustic measurements between 400 Hz and 100 kHz agree well with accepted results. Likewise, nozzle exit-plane data obtained using particle image velocimetry are in good agreement with other studies.
