Abstract
In this paper we will use Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to obtain the flow field of a turbulent round jet at a Reynolds number based on the jet orifice velocity of 11000. In the simulations it is assumed that the flow field is incompressible. The acoustic field of the jet is calculated with help of the Lighthill acoustic analogy. The coupling between the flow solver and the acoustic solver is discussed in detail. The Mach number used in the acoustic calculation was equal to 0.6. It is shown that the decay of the jet centerline velocity and centerline rms are in good agreement with experimental data of [12]. Furthermore, it is shown that the influence of the LES modeling on the acoustic field is very small, if the dynamic subgrid model is used.
