Screech noise source structure of a supersonic rectangular jetThe near-field of the screech noise source structure of an under-expanded supersonic rectangular jet was studied in detail. A miniature probe microphone was used along with a reference microphone to determine the amplitude and phase of the sound pressure near and in the high speed flow field. The transverse structure of the unsteady pressure field was investigated by moving the probe microphone sufficiently far into the jet so that pressure fall-off was observed. Five islands of high sound pressure level have been distinguished which may be associated with the actual local sources of sound production. These sources of screech noise are closely associated with the jet shock structure as would be expected, with the peak region of noise level being found slightly downstream of each of the five observed shocks. The third and fourth noise sources have the highest levels and are about equal in strength. All of the apparent noise sources have their peak levels in the subsonic flow region. Strong cancellations in the acoustic field are observed in the downstream and sideline directions which may account for the predominant upstream propagation of the fundamental tone noise.
