Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of chamfer angles on the acoustic spectra and directivity of resonance tubes, kept axi-symmetrically in the flow field of a supersonic jet. Such tubes can be used for effective flow control, mixing, ignition etc. The jet impinges at the open end of the tube which is closed at the other end. The parameters being considered are the chamfer angle of the tube, nozzle pressure ratio and spacing (S) between nozzle exit and the tube inlet. The jet diameter and the tube inlet diameter are kept constant. Nozzle pressure ratio is varied from 4 to 6 in steps of 0.5. The chamfer angles considered are 15°, 30°, 45°. Acoustic pressure is measured in the far field region at emission angles varying from 37° to 135°, from the jet flow direction. The spectra clearly illustrates that the resonance tubes with chamfer has higher fundamental frequency than that of its absence. The fundamental frequency is observed to decrease with L/Dj for all chamfer angles. The frequencies obtained from experiments are compared with standard quarter wavelength theory. It is clear that the frequencies of the chamfered tubes are almost closer to the theory. At large tube lengths all the frequencies match well with theory but at small tube lengths only 30o chamfer is almost close to the theory. The fundamental frequency of 45o chamfer is found to be almost near to that of 0o chamfer. The minimum location of fundamental frequency as marked in Fig. 4 with S/Dj is found to be same for all L/Dj studied. The shadowgraph sequence (Fig. 5) shows that the low frequency components ∼2 kHz in the waterfall spectra (Fig. 6) are due to jet regurgitance. It is observed from Fig.7 that the directivity is seen to be higher for a tube with α = 30°.
