Abstract
The present invention relates to a noise supressor assembly for a jet engine comprised of a plurality of conduit assemblies proximate the trailing edges of the wall members which capture a portion of an ambient gaseous stream flowing in an ambient flow for introduction into the hot core gaseous flow to thereby deform the interface between the hot core flow and the fan flow or ambient flow when there is no fan between the fan flow and the ambient flow or between fully or partially mixed core and fan flows and the ambient flow thereby mixing such gaseous streams to thereby reduce velocity of the hot core and fan flows and thus jet noise level.
Claims24
A noise suppressor assembly for a jet engine having an outer wall and a splitter wall wherein said outer wall and said splitter wall define a by-pass flow duct and said splitter wall defines a hot core duct, which comprises:
- a plurality of first conduit assembly means radially mounted about said outer wall for passing a portion of gas passing through said by-pass flow duct transversely into said by-pass flow duct;
- a plurality of second conduit assembly means radially-disposed about said splitter wall for passing a portion of gas passing through said by-pass flow duct transversely into said hot core duct.
