Description:
An experiment was conducted in an effort to obtain data that would provide a better understanding of the origins of broadband shock noise (BBSN). Phased array noise source location and two types of flow field data (background oriented schlieren and particle image velocimetry) were acquired on unheated, single-stream jets. Results are presented for one subsonic and four supersonic operating conditions. These data show that BBSN is created primarily in the downstream portion of the shock train with peak BBSN production occurring near where the average size of the turbulent structures is equal to the shockcell spacing. These data tend to validate theories that BBSN is created by turbulent structures that are as large or larger than the shock spacing.
