Abstract

We used a reflected shock tube to investigate the acoustic signature of a hot jet at the far-field. Experiments were performed at Mach = 1.4 and a total temperature of T t = 950 Kelvin. Far-field acoustic signatures of the hot jet at six polar angles θ = 15˚ to θ = 90˚ from the jet axis) were measured and imaged by the means of continuous wavelet transform in scalograms. The results were compared with experiments from a steady test facility at similar test conditions. Further, the primary characteristics of noise events in jet far-field were compared with analytical models considering wavepacket as the main source of jet noise. The results indicate that higher frequency events at θ = 90˚ occur with a small time shift relative to the low azimuthal mode base event. This phenomenon might be the main reason why the acoustic signal at the side angles behaves more noisily than at low polar angles.
