Solution of the Parallel sheaR Layer Green's Function Using Conservation Equations

Abstract

A parallel shear flow representation of a jet is a standard way to solve for the wave propagation terms in jet noise modeling using the acoustic analogy. In this paper we show by introducing a new primary Green's function variable, proportional to the convective derivative of the pressure-like Green's function, the wave propagation equations reduce to an exact conservation form that does not include any derivatives of the mean flow. We analyze this Green's function variable numerically and show its utility when the mean flow is defined by a CFD solution and known only at a discrete set of points.
