Zusammenfassung:Experimental and analytical aeroacoustic properties of several distributed exhaust nozzle (DEN) designs are presented. Significant differences between the designs are observed and correlated to computational fluid dynamics flowfield predictions. Up to 20 dB of noise reduction on a spectral basis and 10 dB on an overall sound pressure level basis are demonstrated from the DEN designs compared to a round reference nozzle. The most successful DEN designs acoustically show a predicted thrust loss of approximately 10% compared to the reference nozzle. Characteristics of the individual minijet nozzles that comprise the DEN such as jet-jet shielding and coalescence are shown to play a major role in the noise signature.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
