Abstract

We consider determination of the propagator within the generalized acoustic analogy for prediction of supersonic jet noise. The propagator is a tensor functional of the adjoint vector Green’s function that requires solution of the linearized Euler equations for a given mean flow. The exact form of these equations can be obtained for a spreading jet. However since high Reynolds number jets have small spread rates, ϵ < < O(1), this parameter can be exploited to formulate an asymptotic model that encompasses mean flow spatial evolution at leading order. Such a model was used by Afsar et al. (AIAA-2017-3030 for prediction of supersonic jet noise. We show the existence of an overlap between this solution (valid at low frequencies) and one based on a locally parallel (i.e. non-spreading) mean flow, valid at O(1) frequencies. It is clear that there must exist an overlap between these solutions, since the former non-parallel solution was determined at the distinguished limit where the scaled frequency Ω=ω/ϵ=O(1) was held fixed. Hence the inner equation shows that as Ω→∞, non-parallelism will be confined to a thin streamwise region of size O(Ω−1) and will, therefore, be subdominant at leading order when ΩY=Y¯=O(1).
