Abstract

Self-generation of highly organized waves in a nominally turbulent jet at very low Mach number can arise from its impingement upon the downstream orifice of an axisymmetric cavity, having an impingement length much shorter than the corresponding acoustic wavelength. The oscillation frequencies are compatible with the resonant modes of a long pipe located upstream of the cavity and with jet-instability frequencies based on the column mode (0·3 [siml ] SD [siml ] 0·6), as well as the near-field shear layer mode (0·016 [siml ] Sθ0 [siml ] 0·03). Moreover, the frequency of the organized wave is constant from separation to impingement; consequently vortex pairing does not occur.

Within the cavity, the pressure amplitude associated with the organized wave is directly related to the phase difference between the organized velocity fluctuations at separation and impingement. Maximum pressure amplitude occurs when this phase difference, measured along the cavity (i.e. jet) centre-line, is 2nπ. Streamwise amplitude and phase distributions of the organized wave cannot be explained from purely hydrodynamic considerations; however, they can be effectively modelled by superposing contributions from hydrodynamic and acoustic waves. This aspect has important consequences for externally excited jets as well.
