“…These have comprised a plethora of conditions including temperature effects, perfectly and imperfectly expanded flows, circular, elliptical and faceted geometries, as well as multi-stream nozzle assemblies. Restricting one's attention to shock-free, unheated supersonic jet flows, the more relevant stacks of literature reduce to the laboratory-scale jet studies of McLaughlin et al (1975), Tanna & Dean (1975), the full-scale flight tests of Morfey & Howell (1981) or the numerical studies of Howell & Morfey (1987), Morris (1977) and Seiner et al (1994). The aforementioned work comprised spectral analysis of the far-field acoustic waveform produced by jets with supersonic exit speeds based on the gas dynamic Mach number (Mj = Uj/aj > 1).…”
