Abstract

The results of measurements of far-field sound emitted from jets are reported. The narrow-band power spectral density of the sound in the far field was measured for three jet diameters, three Mach numbers, and five angular positions. The intensity distribution of mean-square pressure fluctuation in the far field in several wide frequency ranges were also measured. The similarity relations found from the experiments are reported.
