Shock-cell noise is an aeroacoustic phenomenon that occurs in aeronautic engines when the nozzle is not adapted to the atmospheric pressure. In civil aircraft at cruise the secondary ow is often supersonic, thus the onset of a shock-cells system in the wake and broadband shock-associated noise as a consequence. This paper aims to describe the design process of the new facility FAST (Free jet AeroacouSTic laboratory) at the von Karman Institute, built with the aim to investigate experimentally the shock-cell noise phenomenon on a dual stream jet. The rig consists of a coaxial open jet with supersonic capability for both primary and secondary ow. A coaxial silencer is used to remove the spurious noise coming from the feeding lines. The design has been validated by the use of CFD simulations. Preliminary experimental test campaigns with the single and coaxial supersonic jet are presented. Fine scale PIV coupled with a microphone array in the far field have been compared with analogous research in this fiel
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
