Abstract: An experiment was conducted in an effort to obtain data that would provide a better understanding of the origins of broadband shock noise (BBSN). Phased array noise source location and two types of flow field data (background oriented schlieren and particle image velocimetry) were acquired on unheated, single-stream jets. Results are presented for one subsonic and four supersonic operating conditions. These data show that BBSN is created primarily in the downstream portion of the shock train …
