Abstract
High-speed thermal jets are widely applied in aerospace and other engineering fields. Compared with cold jets, screech tones in hot jets have higher frequencies and lower intensities. However, there are fewer studies on the screech modes of hot jets. In this paper, large eddy simulations are carried out on underexpanded free jets with different nozzle temperature ratios (NTRs) and nozzle pressure ratios (NPRs). The time-averaged shock cells and screech frequencies obtained from numerical simulations agree with the corresponding experimental results well. The screech modes of the NPR=2.4 jets at various NTRs are compared and analyzed. It is found that the screech mode changes with the NTR, which is not accidental after testing hot jets at other NPRs. Via Spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition, the features of different screech modes are analyzed in detail. To explain the mode change, the acoustic feedback mechanism of screech tones is studied by combining the neutral acoustic mode and the interaction between the shock cells and the K-H wavepackets. For hot jets, the wavenumber criterion of acoustic resonance in axisymmetric screech mode cannot be satisfied. Thus, the screech tones in axisymmetric mode cannot exist stably in underexpanded jets with NPR = 2.4 at high NTRs.
