Abstract
Noise is generated from a flow field upstream of a shock wave periodically discharged from a pipe end. A vortex ring and an underexpanded jet are periodically formed and diffused downstream. To clarify the mechanism of the noise generation, the flow field was experimentally and numerically studied. The flow field was visualized mainly by the schlieren method and the sound pressure of the noise was measured. The pulsatile flow through the pipe was numerically simulated by Random-Choice Method and using these results as the boundary condition, the pulsatile jet was simulated by TVD scheme. As a result, a good qualitative agreement was found between the flow field obtained by the calculations and that by the experiments. Furthermore, a relation between the behaviour of the vortex ring and the generation of the noise was discussed.
