Aeroacoustic resonance and self-excitation in screeching and impinging supersonic jets–a review

D Edgington-Mitchell - International Journal of Aeroacoustics, 2019 - journals.sagepub.com
Supersonic jets, particularly shock-containing jets, often exhibit high-intensity, discrete-
frequency acoustic tones. These tones are the signature of an aeroacoustic resonance loop …

Excitation of free shear-layer instabilities for high-speed flow control

M Samimy, N Webb, M Crawley - AIAA journal, 2018 - arc.aiaa.org
Free shear layers are building blocks of many flows of interest in applications, including jets,
cavity flows, and separated flows. It was found several decades ago that free shear layers …

Reinventing the wheel: excitation of flow instabilities for active flow control using plasma actuators

M Samimy, N Webb, A Esfahani - Journal of Physics D: Applied …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Flow control is typically used to manipulate a flow's natural behavior to alter its effects on a
vehicle or system. When active flow control (AFC) is used in aerospace applications, the …

Nonlinear dynamics and acoustic radiation of coherent structures consisting of multiple ring–helical modes in the near-nozzle region of a subsonic turbulent circular jet

Z Zhang, X Wu - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
This paper investigates the nonlinear evolution and acoustic radiation of coherent structures

Empirical closure model for coupling mode prediction in supersonic rectangular twin jets

N Webb, A Esfahani, S Yoder, R Leahy, M Samimy - AIAA Journal, 2023 - arc.aiaa.org
An empirical closure model of rectangular twin jets' screech and coupling has been
developed to predict their coupling mode at a given flow condition. It builds on Powell's …

First-principle description of acoustic radiation of shear flows

X Wu, Z Zhang - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
As a methodology complementary to acoustic analogy, the asymptotic approach to
aeroacoustics seeks to predict aerodynamical noise on the basis of first principles by …

Intermittent modal coupling in screeching underexpanded circular twin jets

G Bell, J Cluts, M Samimy, J Soria… - Journal of Fluid …, 2021 - cambridge.org
