Popis: Chevron nozzles, which are characterized by the serrations at the nozzle exit, are widely used for suppressing jet noise in aircraft engines. The noise suppression is accomplished by the enhanced mixing of the exhaust streams, which, in turn, is a result of the streamwise vorticity induced by the serrations. The present study focuses on the numerical modeling of the acoustic field in a compressible jet issuing from a chevron nozzle at a Mach number of 0.8. The study evaluates the effectiveness of turbulence modeling approaches of Large Eddy Simulation and Detached Eddy Simulation methods and compares them with the less computationally intensive Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) formulation. The Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings noise model was used to predict the overall sound pressure level in the far field. The LES predictions of the acoustic signature were found to match well with the experimental data, whereas the URANS model grossly underpredicted the sound pressure levels in the compressible jet flow field.
