Abstract
An apparatus for reducing noise reduction produced by a super sonic jet, comprises a cavity tone generator provided near an exit of a supersonic jet nozzle. The cavity tone generator is a cavity formed in an inner wall of the nozzle exit, and the cavity having a lateral cross-sectional shape similar to a lateral cross-sectional shape of the inner wall of the nozzle exit. More preferably, the cavity and the nozzle exit are formed to have a rectangular lateral cross-sectional shape.
Claims5
An apparatus for reducing noise produced by a supersonic jet, the supersonic jet including a supersonic jet nozzle having an exit, comprising:
- means for generating a cavity tone that interferes with, and reduces screech tone caused by emission through the supersonic jet nozzle by virtue of the disposition of the means for generating relative to the exit of the supersonic jet nozzle, the means for generating being located upstream of the nozzle exit.
A supersonic jet nozzle for exhausting a supersonic jet comprising:
- a nozzle main body having an inner wall that defines a passage for exhausting a supersonic jet;
- and
- means for generating a cavity tone that interferes with, and reduces screech tone caused by emission through the supersonic jet nozzle, the means for generating being defined by a cavity formed in the inner wall of the nozzle main body defining said passage, the means for generating being located upstream of the nozzle exit.
An apparatus for reducing noise produced by a supersonic jet, the supersonic jet including a supersonic jet nozzle having an exit, comprising:
- a cavity tone generator disposed upstream of the nozzle exit of the supersonic jet nozzle;
- wherein said cavity tone generator is a cavity formed in an inner wall of the nozzle exit, said cavity having a lateral cross-sectional shape similar to a lateral cross-sectional shape of the inner wall of the nozzle exit;
- and
- wherein said cavity and said nozzle exit are formed to have a rectangular lateral cross-sectional shape.
