Abstract

The Lighthill formalism for jet noise prediction is extended to accommodate wave transport by the mean jet flow. The extended theory combines the simplicity of the Lighthill approach with the generality of the more complex Lilley approach. There is full allowance for ‘flow-acoustic’ effects: shielding, as well as the refractive ‘cone of (relative) silence’. A source term expansion yielda a convected wave equation that retains the basic Lighthill source term. This leads to a general formula for power spectral density emitted from unit volume as the Lighthill-based value multiplied by a squared ‘normalized’ Green's function. The Green's function, referred to a stationary point source, delineates the refraction dominated ‘cone of silence’. The convective motion of the sources, with its powerful amplifying effect, also directional, is accounted for in the Lighthill factor. Source convection and wave convection are thereby decoupled, in contrast with the Lilley approach: this makes the physics more transparent. Moreover, the normalized Green's function appears to be near unity outside the ‘cone of silence’. This greatly reduces the labour of calculation: the relatively simple Lighthill-based prediction may be used beyond the cone, with extension inside via the Green's function. The function is obtained either experimentally (injected ‘point’ source) or numerically (computational aeroacoustics). Approximation by unity seems adequate except near the cone and except when there are coaxial or shrouding jets: in that case the difference from unity will quantify the shielding effect. Further extension yields dipole and monopole source terms (cf. Morfey, Mani, and others) when the mean flow possesses density gradients (e.g. hot jets).
