Flexwall Hydraulic Hose Replacement in the NASA Glenn 10- by 10-Foot Supersonic Propulsion Wind Tunnel

The space-time conservation-element and solution-element method is employed to numerically study the near-field screech-tone noise of a typical underexpanded circular jet issuing from a sonic nozzle. Both axisymmetric and fully three-dimensional computations are carried out. The self-sustained feedback loop is properly simulated. The computed shock-cell structure, acoustic wave length, screech-tone frequency, and sound-pressure levels are in good agreement with existing experimental results.

Sonic Boom Testing Performed in NASA Glenn Research Center's 10- by 10-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel

One of the current impediments to the establishment of supersonic transports as a viable part of the commercial aviation fleet is the sonic boom effect. This effect is created when a vehicle achieves supersonic speeds and creates a shock wave (an immediate pressure change) that impinges on the ground. The resulting sonic boom can be both heard and felt on the ground, and it traverses the ground along the flight path of the vehicle. The environmental impact of this sonic boom effect is currently regulated by only allowing supersonic flight on over-water flight paths. The ability to measure the pressure signature of an aircraft configuration would allow researchers to identify the sources and the relative magnitude of that source on the aircraft pressure signature. It would also allow for the development and validation of computer codes to predict the sonic boom effects of an aircraft configuration.
