Description
Summary:The present work aims to study the tonal and broadband noise associated with a supersonic planar jet impinging on a flat plate. Five different cases are considered corresponding to different plate distance and angle of impingement. The near-field noise is analyzed using Large Eddy Simulation (LES). For this, we employ a low dispersive and dissipative Finite Volume solver using AUSM for inviscid fluxes and third order Runge-Kutta method for temporal discretization. The far-field noise is calculated using a hybrid approach in which the acoustic sources and mean flow are provided by the fluid solver while the far-field acoustic pressure is calculated by an acoustic solver. It solves Acoustic Perturbation Equations using a spectral/hp element method with a Discontinuous Galerkin projection. The present work highlights many important aspects of impinging jets. Firstly, the far-field sound with the effect of non-uniform base-fields is obtained which is important as the far-field acoustic pressure in most of the literature is reported either without any basefields or by the application of uniform base-fields. Secondly, a correlation between the different modes of oscillations of the impinging jet and the production of impinging tones is studied using Modal Decomposition techniques. This analysis also sheds some light on the number of concurrent cycles for different nozzle to plate distance. Lastly, the relation between the phase lag term and the distance between the plate and the nozzle exit is highlighted using a vortex tracking method. This observation can serve to provide a better understanding of the sound generation process.
