Effects of Flight on Noise Radiated from Convected Ring Sources in Coaxial Dual Flow. Part 2:The Noise from Heated Jets.

摘要

The effects of flight on noise from heated jets are discussed. The effects of the additionally, extraneously-generated dipole and simple source terms which arise as a result of the density gradients across the fluid interfaces were incorporated. The coaxial flows with inverted profiles are shown to be quieter than the conventional profiles; however, the benefit of noise reduction at higher outer-to-inner area ratios is totally offset as the inverted profile incurs a significant massloss and thrust-loss. Amongst all the possible coaxial configurations when on of the coaxial streams is heated-conventional profile (CP), inverted profile (IP) and the variable stream control engine (VSCE) cycle-and at constant massflow and thrust, a VSCE-cycle is the most desirable and the best possible engine cycle inasmuch as it provides over more than 18.0 dB reduction in SPL (as compared against noise from a CP-cycle) at all angles, both statically and in flight, for area ratios Sigma 0.25.
