Tones Encountered with a Coannular Nozzle and a Method for Their Suppression
Abstract
With multi-stream coannular nozzles, sometimes tones occur that may cause the nozzle to fail noise regulation standards. A two-stream nozzle was studied experimentally and numerically in an attempt to identify the sources of such tones and explore remedies. For the given nozzle configuration, sharp tones occurred in a range of low jet Mach numbers. The tones apparently occurred due to a coupling between vortex shedding from the struts, which held the nozzles and the center-body together, with various duct acoustic modes. A leading edge treatment of the struts is shown to eliminate the tones via disruption of the vortex shedding.
