Active Control of Jet–Wing Interaction Noise Using Plasma Actuators in a Narrow Frequency Band

Abstract

For a jet located near the wing, instability waves present in jet mixing layer scatter on the wing trailing edge, leading to additional noise generation. In this article, the possibility of reducing this noise by active cancellation of natural instability waves has been experimentally studied. The active control system consists of near-field microphones from which the feedback signal is taken, a data processing module for signal filtering, and a high-frequency dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator. Decrease in pressure perturbations in the near field of a turbulent jet associated with axisymmetric instability waves in a narrow frequency band was demonstrated. It was shown that this reduction leads to a corresponding noise decrease in the far field.
