Jet noise predictions from unsteady Navier-Stokes simulationsNumerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations are employed to predict the characteristics of round jets at supersonic speeds. The simulations are performed with a finite volume method which is fourth order accurate in space and second order in time. The overall sound pressure level (OASPL) in the near field of a round free jet is over-predicted by roughly 8 dB relative to an experimental correlation. In an impinging jet, shock motion and vortex stretching are identified as noise generation mechanisms in the impingement zone.
