Direct computation of turbulence and noise

Jet exhaust turbulence noise is computed using a time dependent solution of the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations to supply the source terms for an acoustic computation based on the Phillips convected wave equation. An extrapolation procedure is then used to determine the far field noise spectrum in terms of the near field sound. This will lay the groundwork for studies of more complex flows typical of noise suppression nozzles.

Theory for Eccentric and Misalined Annular Seals

Theory describes behavior of eccentric and angularly-misalined incompressible-fluid shaft seals. Direct and cross-coupled stiffness and damping coefficients expressed in terms of degree of eccentricity and coefficients of concentric system.
