Abstract

This paper continues the study of part 1 into the area of the noise of heated jets. First, this part of the study discusses how a convected wave equation approach based on Lilley's equation leads to additional dipole and simple source terms associated with the velocity fluctuations due to transverse gradients of the mean density of the flow. Once these source terms have been identified and roughly estimated, we revert to a plug-flow model of the jet flow (where now the jet temperature and jet density differ from the ambient values) to estimate the radiation of these singularities. Several novel physical aspects of hot-jet noise are uncovered by the analysis. Indeed the problem of hot-jet noise is the one where the greatest deviations from Lighthill's ideas on jet noise generation are evident. The results are applied to available data and a very satisfactory measure of agreement is obtained with respect to the various predictions of the theory. Mechanisms for ‘excess’ pure jet noise scaling on M6 and M4 are found to result from the density gradients of the mean flow. The satisfactory agreement with the data suggests a solution of the problem of scaling jet noise with regard to jet temperature effects. The ability to predict correctly the data also suggests that the jet temperature has very little effect on the turbulence source spectrum generating jet noise at least for jet exit velocities up to about 1·5 times the atmospheric speed of sound.
