Strouhal number influence on flight effects on jet noise radiated from convecting quadrupoles

The paper reports a complementary extension of previous work to include the high-frequency features reflected in the discussion of the higher Strouhal number influence on flight effects. It is found that, in addition to the usual features of flight effects on noise from ordinary flows, the high Strouhal number flows exhibit some more interesting features which are uniquely characteristic to them. The additional features are as follows: (1) Flight effects are more favorable to hot jets than to cold jets; (2) the higher the Strouhal number of the jet flow, the lesser the forward arc amplification due to flight; (3) as the Strouhal number increases, the peak amplification angle in the forward quadrant and the peak suppression angle in the aft quadrant move toward 90 deg and get closer, thus reducing the amplification exposure to a constricted angular region; (4) the silence zone is disturbed and displaced from its normal position parallel to the jet flow to give rise to multiple crossings of flight curves with the static line; and (5) the occurrence of multiple crossings is a strange phenomenon solely characteristic of high Strouhal number with high subcritical jet flows in flight.
