Abstract:An acoustic propagation model of jetflow was deduced by geometrical acoustics based on the fanshaped stratified velocity model of shear layer built by CFD. Taken an actual openjet wind tunnel as research objects, the velocity characteristics of jetflow were given by numericalsimulation. A fanshaped stratified velocity model of shear layer whose speed changed uniformly with the angle, was built. The acoustic propagation between different velocity layers was deduced by using the sound refraction theory. The acoustic propagation model of jetflow was verified by aeroacoustic wind tunnel experiment which took sound source drift as the index. The results show that this acoustic propagation model is more accurate to predict sound drift. In conditions that jet flow velocity is high and shear layer thickness is large, the improvment is particularly evident.
