The noise sources of a tip-jet driven rotor can be separated by rotor blade noise and jet noise. The rotor blade noise consists of thickness noise, loading noise, nonlinear quadrupole noise, and jet noise is divided into nozzle momentum noise and jet radiation noise. The flow analysis for the prediction of rotor blade noise is performed by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, and the noise source of the rotor blade noise is identified by simultaneously applying the permeable and impermeable surface based FW-H (Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings) acoustic analogy. The nozzle momentum noise is obtained by permeable surface FW-H, and jet radiation noise is predicted by using empirical method for the fixed-wing jet. Both of jet noises use nozzle exit condition for noise analysis. The accuracy of the technique is verified based on the noise measurements of the tip-jet driven rotor, and the unique noise characteristics of the tip-jet driven rotor is confirmed by spectrum analysis.

로켓 엔진은 고속의 고온 고압 제트가 분출함으로 인해 현존하는 소음 소스 수준 중 가장 큰 소음을 발생시킨다. 로켓 엔진에서 생기는 소음은 충격소음과 유동소음으로 구분할 수 있다. 충격소음은 연소제트의 불완전 팽창으로 인한 shock cell의 영향으로 shock wave가 발생하게 되어 고속의 제트가 대기와 충동함으로 인해 형성되는 충격파로 인해 발생되는 소음이며 유동소음은 mixing의 초기부분에서 초음속의 High velocity gas가 주변대기와 부딪히면서 생기는 난류와 전단력 때문에 발생하는 압력의 요동이 그 원인이 되어 고주파 소음의 특성을 띤 작은 eddy들에 의해 발생하는 소음이다.

this paper the acoustic signature from a supersonic nozzle is measured and compared to the result of a program developed for a gas turbine noise prediction. In order to measure the jet Mach Number, the pressure and temperature at the settling chamber was measured along with pressures from a pitot-tube placed near the exit. The results are also compared to the ones obtained with a shadow graph technique. Jet noise produced by an imperfectly expanded jet contains shock associated noise, which consist of broadband noise and screech tone noise. For subsonic condition, the directivity is dominant to the downstream direction due to turbulence mixing noise. For supersonic conditions, however, the directivity is dominant toward upstream direction due to shock associated noise. The comparison with a jet exhaust noise prediction code shows good agreement at supersonic conditions but needs to be improved at subsonic speeds.

This paper describes experimental work to control supersonic jet noise using a mesh screen that is placed at the nozzle exit plane. The mesh screen is a wire-gauze screen that is made of long stainless wires with a very small diameter. The nozzle pressure ratio is varied to obtain the supersonic jets which are operated in a wide range of over-expanded to moderately under-expanded jets. In order to perturb mainly the initial jet shear layer, the hole is perforated in the central part of the mesh screen. The hole size is varied to investigate the noise control effectiveness of the mesh screen. A schlieren optical system is used to visualize the flow fields of supersonic jet with and without the mesh screen device. Acoustic measurement is performed to obtain the OASPL and noise spectra. The results obtained show that the present mesh screen device leads to a substantial suppression of jet screech tones. The hole size is an important factor in reducing the supersonic jet noise. For over-expanded jets, the noise control effectiveness of the mesh screen appears more significant, compared to correctly and under-expanded jets

Jet noise of propulsion systems is major source of acoustic loads of launch vehicles and sounding rockets. The investigation of characteristics of jet noise is inevitable for successful missions. In this paper, the mechanism of generation of acoustic loads due to jet noise was investigated. The major parameters that change the characteristics of acoustic loads were also suggested so that effects of the parameters could be investigated. The temporal and spatial characteristics of acoustic loads of KSR-III was demonstrated. The results show that the maximum value of the acoustic loads is found in the octave bands whose center frequencies are 250 Hz and 500 Hz. Finally, the methods and the facilities for the further investigation of acoustic loads were proposed.

Empirical prediction method of the acoustic load on the fairing is based on jet experimental data on the basis of similarity principle. Representative empirical prediction method, DSM-II(Distributed Source Method-II), is a distributing source method along the jet plume. But the empirical prediction model is limited to reflect the impingement source in real environment because it is based on the free jet data. So, we propose a empirical prediction method considering the impinging jet effect by adding a impingement source in the existing prediction method. Considering the additional source's displacement, spectrum, strength and directivity, we calculate the acoustic load on the KSR-III(Korean Sounding Rocket-III) rocket and compare the results with the existing method and experiment data.

An axisymmetric supersonic jet screech in the Mach number range from 1.07 to 1.2 is numerically simulated. The axisymmetric mode is the dominant screech mode for an axisymmetric jet. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in the conjunction with a modified Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model are employed. A high resolution finite volume essentially non-oscillatory(ENO) schemes are used along with nonreflecting characteristic boundary conditions that are crucial to screech tone computations to accurately capture the sound waves, shock-cell structures and large-scale instability waves.

The present paper describes an experimental work to investigate a transonic resonance in supersonic jet that is discharged from a convergent-divergent nozzle. When the nozzle m: at low nozzle pressure ratios, the shock occurs within the divergent section of the nozzle. The transonic resonance of a jet flow is generated by an emission of strong acoustic tones due to the unsteadiness of the shock. A Schlieren optical system is used to visualize the supersonic jet flow In order to specify the flow resonance of a jet, acoustic measurements are performed to obtain noise spectra. The acoustic characteristics of transonic resonace are compared with those of screech tones. The results obtained show that unlike screech frequency, the transonic reso- nace frequency somewhat increases with increasing the nozzle pressure ratio.

In this study, slit-tones by plane impinging jet are investigated experimentally over the whole subsonic flow range, especially at low speeds, in order to obtain the instability behaviour of impinging plane jet. Slit-tones are generated at low speeds associated with laminar shear layer instability as well as at high speeds associated with turbulent instability. Most of low-speed slit-tones are induced by symmetric mode instability unless the slit is not so wide, in which case antisymmetric modes are induced like edge-tones. It is found that the frequencies at low speeds ate controled by the unstable condition of the vortex at the nozzle exit and its pairings by which the frequencies are decreased by half. In the case of symmetric modes related with low-speed slit-tones, frequencies lower than those associated with one-step pairings are not found.
