“…Firstly, the growth rate of the various azimuthal modes is a function of Mach number (and thus NPR); at certain operating conditions a change in which azimuthal mode is dominant will produce a change in tonal frequency. In twin-jet systems, this change may be a change in the coupling between the jets, rather than a change in the azimuthal mode of the individual jets (Rodríguez, Jotkar & Gennaro 2018). Secondly, a change in the number of contemporaneous vortical structures and acoustic waves can produce a discrete change in frequency, as demonstrated in Gao & Li (2010); such a change may be driven by a change in effective source location (Mercier, Castelain & Bailly 2017).…”
