The drag on a cloud of spherical particles in low Reynolds number flow
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the drag exerted on a cloud of spherical particles of a given particle size distribution in low Reynolds number flow is derived, where the drag experienced by a particle depends only on the first three moments of the distribution function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proposed relationship between broadband shock associated noise and screech tones
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between broadband shock associated noise and screech tones is examined and it is shown that from the spectral characteristics point of view, the screech tone may be regarded as a special case of broadband wave associated noise.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the three families of instability waves of high-speed jets
Christopher K. W. Tam,Fang Q. Hu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical and computational study of the normal-mode small-amplitude waves of high-speed jets is presented, and three families of instability waves have been identified: (1) the familiar Kelvin-Helmholtz instability waves, (2) supersonic instability waves; and (3) subsonic waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jet Noise: Since 1952
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the crucial research results of the past 44 years, that form the basis of our present understanding of jet noise generation and propagation, are discussed, and provide irrefutable evidence that jet noise is made up of two basic components; one from the large turbulence structures/instability waves, the other from the fine-scale turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
The radiation of sound by the instability waves of a compressible plane turbulent shear layer
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of acoustic radiation generated by instability waves of a compressible plane turbulent shear layer is solved, and the solution provided is valid up to the acoustic far-field region.
