This experimental and theoretical work involved reduction of supersonic jet noise using Mach Wave Elimination (MWE), a method that suppresses noise by means of a gaseous layer that envelops the supersonic jet. Also explored was a new method for mixing enhancement in which an axial, secondary flow enhances mixing in a primary flow. The research is relevant to the advent of future supersonic transports that must adhere to the same take-off and landing restrictions as ordinary subsonic aircraft. To reduce noise, one needs to understand the fundamental fluid mechanics of the jet, namely its turbulent structure and mean-flow characteristics, and to perform high-quality noise measurements. The results generated are applicable to free jets as well as to jets within ejectors.
