Application of compact and multioperator schemes to the numerical simulation of acoustic fields generated by instability waves in supersonic jets

Acoustic fields generated by instability waves in supersonic jets were numerically simulated. A seventh-order multioperator scheme was used to solve the Euler equations linearized about the mean flow field in an axisymmetric turbulent jet. The mean field was computed using fifth-order compact approximations of the convective terms under conditions similar to experimental data. The numerical results were found to agree well with the experiment.
