Abstract:
Strong acoustic waves emitted from rocket plume might damage to rocket payloads because rocket payloads consist of fragile structure. Therefore, it is important to predict acoustic directivity and reduce its intensity level. In this study, we conduct experiments of supersonic jet flows and investigate an influence of the nozzle geometry on acoustic waves by means of Schlieren method and microphone measurement. Three different nozzles are examined: a conical nozzle, a convergent-divergent nozzle (referred as C-D nozzle), and a tab-C-D nozzle. Tabs are equipped in the nozzle inside and turbulence is generated in the tab-C-D nozzle case. The Schlieren visualization shows that the strong shock trains are observed in the potential core of the jet for the conical nozzle case, while the shock waves are relatively weak since the nozzles are in the nearly ideal expanded condition in the C-D nozzle and tab-C-D cases. The distribution of near field OASPL (over all sound pressure level) obtained by microphone measurement shows strong directivity in the downstream direction for all the cases. This directivity seems to be the Mach wave radiation. Moreover, conical nozzle cases have strong acoustic intensity level caused by shock associated noise.
